U18/U21 Development Thread

Joe McCallum has been on trial at Chelsea

It's not broken, this is exactly what they wanted. Even the FA are happy because it's getting more players into the top academies.

Screw the lower league clubs.

Do we get compensation?

Joseph McCallum has left the club I believe. Not sure what happened there

Going to the Chelsea Academy might explain it.

He signed a pro contract in the summer so I would assume so.

Anyone know how much?

I saw Lati started for the U21s today, Shepherd didn't feature. Didn't see any updates regarding the score though.

Looks like Bidwell, Brau, Lati and Andrews all played for the U21's today at home against Peterborough.

We lost 2-1.

 

[larry_david]

Shepherd scored. I think our u21s aren't great atm due to best players out on loan. Seems we took the first teamers off on 70 ans they collapsed?

Can’t have this if we’re serious about autos.

Dan Barton (another Cambridge youth) training with us. Made a few appearances in league 1 last season, got injured ans never had the chance to come back. Another interesting dev signing if it happens

The U21s lost 1:0 away at top of the table Sheffield United today.

Pretty sure he was starting to attract prem interest before he got injured. Could be an interesting pick up.

Yeah I know he was doing well. They were going through a shortage through injuries and threw him in at the time.

Can anyone confirm he’s no longer at the club? Purely for my contract thread.

I don't know for sure, however if you Google him there are sites stating he plays for Chelsea. He's also a Londoner, so even less surprising he'd want to go.

Yeah internet is no good cos reputable sites like CCFC.co.uk and teansfermarkt have him here and youthfootball or whatever has him there. Thats why I was hoping for confirmation. He signed a pro deal so I don’t see how he could just fuck off without us noticing.

The U21s beat Birmingham City 4:1 in the FA Youth Cup.

Birmingham were down to 10 men for most of the 2nd half.

Same routine as "87" match the first team now?

George Shepherd has now signed his first pro contract with the club, just a few days after turning 17.
Congrats to him, and good on the club rinfencing a genuine developing talent.

 

[larry_david]

Batanwi is back from injury tonight. I still think he has a good future with us. Hopefully a few games til end of Jan then a loan to go prove it.

Mantle is captain after his great Weymouth loan.

Yearn makes an appearance, started a fair few games for Maidenhead then got injured a month ago

 

[fernandopartridge]

Team at Blackburn, interesting that Shepherd is on the bench here too. Wonder if that's with a view to him having some first team game time on Saturday?

 

[CovRes]

Charlie Finney with the goal to win tonight's game.

 

[long way home]

Shepard just scored for u21s.

Shepard just scored for u21s.

Any idea why he was on the bench again today? Given he's not played a minute for the first team assume there's no risk in him playing 90 minutes.

He was training with the Firsts all week, so wasn't involved with the specific u21 pre-match training. He was also being rested (a little) as he's lined up for the u18 Cup match next week, and they are targetting that one first and foremost.
