Gets first team action and three goals into his career he's off. Thanks for the loyalty fella Rather harsh, take it you know about the negotiations with the clubs, if it is a £million with add ons then, that could help the club limp on till the end of season, personally hate what the ELF are making us do with the academy, but we can rebuild it when the new owner is in place, over a period of time. Luke Plange is not the young kid you should take your anger out on, and sure he goes with Wayne's blessing AndyinLiverpool 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duracell Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Not long until we can be knocked out of the Papa John's Trophy by a U23 Premier League side made up entirely of players who used to be on our books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, isn't it Mel's stepson? He's left now. I believe Steve Bould gave Derby the nod about Plange. whiteroseram and DarkFruitsRam7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a interview somewhere with Jake Buxton, he got the tip off from his relationships within the Arsenal setup. An odd link but there you go, it's definitely worked out -just a shame it isn't longer. Rev 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBRammette Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 1 hour ago, LazloW said: The theory of having new owners come in and giving a longer term contract is great. As is the idea that he’d benefit from first team football with us. But we all know that in reality, whatever the ownership situation, a PL club comes in for one of our kids and and we have precious little chance of keeping him. Delap, Gordon, Williams to name but three in the recent past. They (or their advisers) don’t give a ? about first team football or long term development. They care about the big contract, the big commission and the big name. They don’t care if he languishes in their u23s for a few years before going out on endless loans (if he doesn’t quite make it). The player themselves also - not surprisingly - no doubt thinks this is their way to the big time and that they’ll be playing every week before you know it. Who needs Championship or League 1 football!? Hopefully we get a fee. In normal circumstances, this will also be the model moving forward anyway. Sustainability through selling our self-grown assets. Its not just us as a club that gets this although our position doesnt help at all - Richard Osman tweet and replies today about same thing with poor old Fulham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point I was trying to make is that, although we must lose these players whether through Administration or player agents or simply the glamour of the Premier League, the meagre amount of compensation we receive is not a cause for celebration and cannot - IMHO - be classed as "good business". Dont get me wrong, the way Prem clubs can cherry pick our talent like Delap & Gordon for very little really is frustrating, even more so when we spend so much on being a Cat 1 academy. The point I was trying to make is that whether in admin or not we lose young players for pittance in these situations, so to get 1.4m for 2x out of contract very inexperienced players whilst in admin is good business...especially when you consider Shinnie went for 30k IslandExile 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was jagielka disloyal when he wasnt allowed to re sign for us? Was williams disloyal? Was Marshall? Was Baldock? It may have escaped your notice, but the clubs in a bit of a pickle at the moment. We need cash and if we get what we need for plange it keeps the club going a little while longer. Loyalty doesnt come in to this at all.

Steve How Hard? Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 I'm happy for this deal to go through as long as they throw Will Hughes into the deal too. Still not technically a new player registration as he was given away initially. Gritstone Tup and GenBr 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boycie Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 I don’t mind having him back for this season and helping us try to stay up, but they can sod off if they want him to stay longer and develop. We develop our own players thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
