Random question: contracts aren’t legally binding before 18 so what exactly do they sign? Is it their parents that actually sign?

[SBchimp]

They can’t walk away and join another club.
if a player walks out on a contract the club can retain their registration and prevent them from playing elsewhere, not without agreement and normally compensation paid

 

[procdoc]

Nope. Can't turn pro until 17. But he definitely would've had a contract already agreed.

Chris Camwell knew when he was 16 that he was getting a pro deal but could t sign it officially until his 17th birthday, same with Ponticelli

Great to see so many stepping up.

Who is standing out at this level and looks capable of making it to the first team in the future?

Woah! how the fook have we managed to resurrect Pop Smoke and slot him into the rotation??

I would also like to add that these pictures for some reason remind me of mid 1900’s footballers pictures, Bobby Moore, etc.

All jokes aside best of luck to all the lads.

 

[rexo87]

looks like Bradley Stretton has signed a pro contract (his instagram). Anyone know much about him?

 

[SkyBlueScottie]

Thierry Katsekunya off to the Villa for a 6 figure fee.

 

[larry_david]

Coventry City defender Thierry Katsukunya had a chance to take the lead for the visitors 10 minutes after the restart, but dragged his effort from distance just wide of the post.

What a name!

Glad we sold him now. Useless

Interesting today MR said they're looking to loan Drysdale out for a month to non league just to get some games before a league loan in Jan. Think that goes to show how poor u23 footy is.

Got a feeling they have a winter break. We loaned some players out in December last year for that reason but not sure if that was a different schedule due to covid.

A great experience for the boys..

U18s 6-0 win today according to one of the players insta

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Yes, up to second in the league now and won their PL Cup group. Lost once in 13 games

Leeds will be tough, invested heavily into their setup and have some of the best players in the country. Hopefully Howley will drop down into his age group and Stretton is back from injury now too

Saw on Facebook that Stretton’s 14yo brother made his U18s debut yesterday. Another talented sky blue family.

 

[Blind-Faith]

Reports of the Villa after another one of our youth team. Isaac Moore, granted I know nothing about him but getting fed up with all our best youth teamers being linked or sold.

Makes you wonder how we even managed to keep Maddison???

Did EPPP exist back then? That's probably how.

Good that Moore is still around for now…think it’s 5 U16 who started

Top of the table. Is this a good crop of 18's? If we dont sell them all to Villa that is!

Eight scouts there too, seven watching under 16s one the under 18s

It’s getting ridiculous now we are bringing these lads through and then teams are trying to steal them for a pittance. These youngsters should look at the players that have moved away and how well it has gone for them.

Our U-18s beaten at home 5-0 by Barnsley U18s yesterday. Barnsley have now moved to the top of the table. Couldn't find any details about who was in our team.

 

[larry_david]

With Burroughs and Rowe out on loan now and Dacosta off shortly. Who is our RB/RWB for u23s?

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

This time of year I'd imagine they'd give the U18 a chance to step up as they'll be in the process of deciding who to take on. However, I'm not sure who the U18 RB is. I think Malakai Reeve was, but he's not featured so I guess he's either injured or moved on.

The Team as a whole are punching above their weight. Regularly playing u16s and training with with sometimes less that 10 players. They have lots of injuries as well, the result was coming.

The 16s are very talented. One lad in particular I think we might struggle to keep.

Good day. U18s into the PDL2 semi finals

All three U/23s, U/18s & U/15s won at Millwall 18s&16s were cup games

 

[SBchimp]

U23s lost 2-0 away to a full strength Man Utd U21s today.

Although arguably our 23s were the younger team, Josh Read being our oldest player I think.

Under 18s got to the final of the PL cup today beating Charlton 1-0.

Under 16s won 2-1 at Barnsley last night to reach cup-final.
