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,
Don’t we have an option in our favour anyway?Just makes financial sense too.
We do it's either about the wage or length, protect the asset Blah blah.Don’t we have an option in our favour anyway?

Most of them to be fair its probably easier to ask which dontWhich players have a short time left on their contracts? (Under 2 years)

Thanks - helpful!
Allen - will probably be a natural end with hopefully a big send off.
Collins - a much less sentimental goodbye
Wilson - Think / hope he’d stay on as part of the keeping team. Such a positive character and I imagine it’s quite hard to get 3rd choice keepers that aren’t going to rock the boat.
Sakamoto - offer him a lifetime contract
Bidwell - love him as a guy and you can tell he cares but the thought of him trying to run after someone like Doku has just made me fart.
Simms - hopefully would have a championship suitor. We’d possibly have to take a hit but his numbers are pretty good and still not old.
Lati - if we got an offer then I’d probably take it but wouldn’t mind him as a squad player if it came to it.
Thomas - now is the time to offer an extension I think
Thomas would be silly not to sign haji silly to do so probablyThomas is a curious one. I wonder if he’s been offered and not signed or not been offered. Rumours we’ve offered Haji one he’s not signed so there’s at least him there might be others.
