Perhaps first dibs at a loan could be incorporated into any deal. Not sure he’d get in our team this season or next tbh. Think he’ll be ready in two years or so never seen him play so pure speculation and guesswork on my part, but that’s not stopped me yet ?

I'd be willing to bet 'statistically speaking' the best few from each age group do make the grade. How many of that England Under 16 team from 2013 have you heard off? These are supposed to be the best of the best. I think I was under 50% with those I've even heard of and none of them have become England players.

Dean Saunder’s hat trick Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 5 hours ago, RoyMac5 said: Agree, don't know why. Don't know why he hasn't signed before either. Have read in a report he can’t sign a pro deal until the summer? Don’t know why this is, but maybe he can only sign a pro-deal at the end of his scholarship?

G-Ram Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 9 hours ago, rammieib said: And if he doesn't actually want to sign pro terms with us, what other option do we have? I don't think £1 Million is bad business especially if there are plenty of additional fees linked. How often do these star players at this age actually go on and become stars. 1 in 50 chance? Go back ten years and find an England Under 21 team. I would guess most are not longer playing Prem Football. Go back ten years and find an England Under 16 team and see how many are are playing Prem football? I bet none are. In fact - here you go - this is from 2013 England under 16's - how many have become stars? I think 3 are in the Premiership today and none of them have played for England. Three quarters of them I don't even know.

By the same means how many of the 2015 team have you heard of....I give you some of the names from that team.... Foden, sessogon, Skipp, Hudson Odi, Sancho, I could go on. Now at the time how many said Foden was going to be the next best thing, same about Sancho and remind me, how did that turn out ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But my point was the very best in that age group (the best 3-5 rather than 30 of the best 50 or so). You may also find that the best 16 year olds aren't playing for England U16s, but actually for the U17s or even U18s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone rang Radio Derby last night outraged about the transfer as he reckoned Gordon was the best young prospect he's ever seen play for the under 18s. Given we have been in various states of lockdown and not allowed to go to Academy games all the time he's been playing at that level I thought it was a pretty bold claim. Unless he was Darran Wassall, of course! Good luck to young Kaide, sorry to see him go but that's life at Academy level and it's a great opportunity for him.
