Growth spurts. Just saying!

It’s a little know fact that Stanley Matthews retired at 14’ 2”

No troubles getting on the grass, but it was a bit of a struggle to get in the building by the end

Bianchieri as well seen some rumors on Twitter could be off?

At what point do you do a Brentford and bin off the academy. Seems like it’s basically just a way to develop highly rated young players for the Prem. Not that the Brentford model would work for us the way the club is run, but if we lose 3 highly rated youngsters in under a year before they have a chance to play for us what is the point.

It is disheartening isn't it if we lose the best of the young players we develop.
It seems like a broken system if bigger clubs can poach the best of smaller clubs' academies before they can even get any decent money for them, then just loan their academy stars out for a few years before letting them go.

Not quite the same thing, but I wonder what’s happened to Cian Ashford?

I'd heard that all those offered scholarships had accepted them and signed up. I hope it's true.

It seems a bit unlikely that a player would reject terms and then be selected two age groups up a few weeks later.

That said, Charlie Crew was playing for the U18's quite late in the season last year.

Think he must be, but it’s seems like months since he played.

An interesting piece on this topic here: https://roathboy.com/why-it-is-growi...rubin-colwill/

He seems to think that Biancheri is as good as gone, but then again he said Bale had signed so...
