Rambalin Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 (edited) He is 21 and never really pushed on to a first team start or regular bench appearance he only made it this season due to injuries. He is a decent finisher, gives his all and I can see him dropping into div2 and doing well but he could also go the way of Zanzala and probably JHI and disappear without trace.

Zanzala hasn't disappeared without a trace. He's not set the world alight, but he's scored a few for various clubs since leaving us, and appears to have carved out a career in the Football League.

Speaking to Ram (co-founder of MRKT Insights, who basically do recruitment and data science for various clubs) on twitter, he says that Zanzala is better than League 2 standard and that it won't be long until he's back in League 1. Also said Callum Guy is doing really well too and that he's another one that could easily be playing League 1 to a very good standard.

If I were to buy the club tomorrow, I'd be straight on the phone to either them or 21st Club to use their knowledge. Jubbs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van der MoodHoover Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Would Mel be a bit disappointed that his investment in the academy hasn't yet yielded more fees than a few L1/L2 standard players? Mind I suppose he should be thankful they were sold before Wazza, Liam et al got hold of them and coached them down to NFL level....?

Dimmu Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 It's been a shitty season, but he and his goals made it much more bearable. Watching u23 to play has been a pleasure for a while now and he developed greatly during the season. Hope he gets a good move he fully deserves.

I could see Cresswell being battered by bigger, more experienced defenders, but he’s a good finisher. I hope Stretton remains injury-free because he is a bright young hope. It would be lovely to see someone young up front for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ambitious Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 I hope he gets a good move. He's had a great season for the U23s and deserves a chance somewhere. It will be interesting to see where he lands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnero Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 As clubs will have been made aware that he was being released at the end of the season, he's certainly given himself every chance of a decent L1/L2 club giving him a contract given his excellent form of the last 3-4 months.

Rample Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Who's progress is he realistically blocking if he stays? I'd give him a year before making a decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming Trialist also leaves, with Stretton either 3rd choice or out on loan.... Duncan, Cybulski and Plange will be the remaining U23 CFs for next season.
