Is McCallum still at the club? He had a trial at Chelsea and I thought someone on the U18/U21 Development Thread said he'd gone.
These 2 sites are listing him as a Chelsea player.I was going off the new pros announcement back in the summer. I’ll have a look but if anyone’s got a link I’ll update.

But there's nothing that's come out from from the club.
It's odd. I checked his uncle's BkueSky account as he had previously posted to say how proud he was of his nephew getting a pro contract with us, and other posts about how well he's doing. But no mention of a move to Chelsea.Weird. Transfermarkt have him here. And he’s signed pro forms so you’d expect if he’d gone to Chelsea we’d have got a fee.

And he’s still on the offal
I'd guess that this is the reason why there seems to ab blackout information.It's odd. I checked his uncle's BkueSky account as he had previously posted to say how proud he was of his nephew getting a pro contract with us, and other posts about how well he's doing. But no mention of a move to Chelsea.
And "the offal" is the right phrase for the level of info around the U18s/U21s.
The tree trend is to monetise a lot of information nowadays, not football specifically.Since King came in info about contracts and the academy seems to have dried up a lot tbf. And we know Frank likes his secrecy around training.
Does make being an internet fact nerd a lot harder tho.
Why are the club not employing you with all your expertise on all matters?Since King came in info about contracts and the academy seems to have dried up a lot tbf. And we know Frank likes his secrecy around training.

Talk of extension being offered to Wright as he is apparently one of our really important players? That will upset a few on here,
I did proffer this could/would explain the potential drop off in form, I do hope it's true, critical time for him and us.Talk of extension being offered to Wright as he is apparently one of our really important players? That will upset a few on here,
