Injured?
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...
He also seems to believe we developed Sang rather than Bolton and then Man Utd who released him.
Quite.
The overall points of the article are interesting though and a little concerning. Charlie Crew going to Leeds as well as the reported interest in several players suggests this is a talented group (they also form the bulk of a good Wales u17 side) so it would be a shame to lose them
Biancheri was supposed to be off in the summer but he stayed. Flaw with his article, there’s nothing to stop them from leaving if we are at Cat 1 either. We just need to make sure they know they have a path to the first team. If they still leave, that’s disappointing but that’s the best incentive. Us being an average at best Champ club is probably the best thing for these young lads as they’ve only got to be better than people like Harris and Whyte to get minutes.
not sure where to put this one but anyone here heard of charlie crew ?
supposed to be a welsh youngster aged 17 on trial with Leeds
wheres he from etc ?
Crew has left, he’s not on trial. He’s signed for Leeds
He was legally poached last summer from our academy.
The current system stinks. Anyone showing any promise can be enticed away with next to no recompense to the club who spent years developing them.
The current system needs to change or more clubs will adopt the Brentford model which doesn't benefit youngsters.
Using Rabbi Matondo's exit as an example a fairer system would have given us at least 50% of the fee Manchester city got for him. The percentage should be set by the number of years between transfer fee and joining their first academy. If say we had spent 5 years developing the player and so had Manchester city then a 50 50 split would be fair.
Well said, it is a disgrace. If not checked, it could end up with only half a dozen teams having Academy's throughout the English League.
David Moyes's suggestion of teams being limited on registrations is one of the best I've heard.
Think he makes a good point in that we appear to be considered a foreign club when it comes to loans and an “English” one when it comes to bigger clubs taking our best prospects for a pittance - now that would be a court case we would win.
Today’s scheduled under 21s game at Colchester has been postponed.

They don't seem to be working. This is though https://youtu.be/cpBiCQ1lkjw
Under 21s at home to Watford, kick off 1 o clock -

The last I heard is that it would be a Cat 1 academy in all but name.
No first teamers involved with the under 21s today.

Am I the only one watching this? 0-0 at half time and forget about efforts on target, I don’t think City have had a shot yet. My message to anyone not watching is an ancient comedian’s catchphrase (was it Arthur Askey?) - you lucky people!
