Players who are still scholars: Moloney (LB), Robinson (CM), Ibrahim (CM), Sebagabo (CM), Borkovic (RW) and Ebiowei (RW) are leading the race IMO. Borkovic has already featured in a first team squad and came off the bench in the league cup, Ibrahim spent a lot of time training with the first team under Cocu, whilst Ebiowei and Robinson have been drafted into Rooney's training sessions recently.

Who is he @RoyMac5, why is it painful to Nicko, does it mean he’ll have to respond to questions like WTF you on about dude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Striker though, age group NI international. Would like to have seen him play! @Ravabeerbelly and @Ghost of Cloughmight know?

Maybe it’s just a case within premiership circles that they know Derby county has a hell of a crop of youngsters and they also know we have to let them leave to premiership clubs for next to nothing because of that ridiculous rule between the premiership and the EFL.

Thats £212k upfront with addons of up to about £1.5m based on appearances. Probably negotiated that to a flat £500k upfront... Zag zig 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ased on what I have seen, I'd put his potential as somewhere between Delap and Plange though ? RoyMac5 and Zag zig 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I see, it’s evidence of a self sustaining successful academy. What’s wrong with if we continue to recoup good money, churning over young talent, whilst retaining the odd gem for the first squad. That to me, for a championship or lower side, suggests a highly successful academy business model. Sometimes it’s easy to look at it negatively but I quite like what we’re doing in our academy right now. Carnero 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d see that as temporary though, given our current financial state. No reason to expect that forever with a solid financial platform, should we avoid liquidation of course ? Ive not really disagreed with any of the current departures of our youngsters, with the possible exception of Plange; only because I think Rooney is right, he’d possibly have benefited with another12 months here.

No, any new owner will have seen the potential of the academy, and under normal circumstances would have made a decent profit on the young players, which we would not have needed too sell in normal times, and if it was not the academy players who have stepped up this season we would already be relegated.

Again except if they're any good they'd be better sold when they've shown more and we're higher up the league/Prem. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
