Sam used to work at the academy. Said a few weeks ago it’s apparently a highly rated group including Claus Jorgensen’s kid.

Thanks for the insight

Hoping I wasn't just biased as they were nice kids! They had great attitude and ability in younger age groups so fingers crossed

I hope so. We have heard similar before and they've come to nothing.

Interesting to know at what stage a lot of the kids coming through were brought in - would we have still been L1 or were a lot of them picked up when we were Championship and so had a bit more pull?

Be interesting to see the list of new scholars and whether it has changed since I was there - the lads I'm talking about joined the club very early so defo saw L1 days and maybe even L2!

Have we shifted away from that a little recently, picking up bargains from lower down or did we have a dearth that needed supplementing

 

[Frankly_Mr_Shankly]

Only 2 of the new scholars are Cov born and come through the academy ranks from an early age, the rest have been signed in from other clubs.

The James lad is rated isn't he?

Isn't he the one that Chelsea were trying to poach last summer?

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

So I guess that means Lines, Blakely, Marshall, Osague and Panatayio were released.

Does anyone know if Joshua Taluwaloju was brought in as an U21 signing or into the academy and been released as well?

He was only signed in the middle of last season. Would be surprised if he was released already.

What are their ages? As I understand it, the U18s is made up of 2 intakes. Those who left school last summer and are at the end of their 1st year. And those who've completed 2 years as a scholar and are progressing to the U21s or are being released.

When the retained list was announced I don't think the U18s got a mention so I assume that these lads were the 2nd year scholars.

And the Taluwaloju lad wasn't mentioned at all.

The u18s retained list was announced yesterday?
The mentioned players have all been released.

Fair enough. I hadn't seen that anywhere.

Seen yesterday that Lines has gone to Norwich, so a decent move for him.

Did we release?

Interesting. Perhaps we are finally utilising some of our youth players potential by giving them a chance

 

[larry_david]

What we thinking then wkth Callum Perry. I just assumed he'd be one of those that's always around the u21s ans then eventually released but seems he's making a push!

Loan for the season at league 2 or league 1?

National League / League 2

Small for a centre half. From an untrained eye, possibly the best chance of making it might mean pushing out to left back. Seems like he's excellent on the ball.

He didnt look small yesterday Vs Monaco but I guess the camera angle wasn't great so maybe its hard to gauge, but to me he actually looked quite tall.

He's listed as being 186cm, which I think is 6'2".

Is he really? Wow. I've seen him a few times in the U21s and he's looked small for a CB. Didn't look any different yesterday.

I stand corrected.

Jamie Allen was once listed as 5'10''.

I know players that age can have growth spurts but the couple of times I've seen him he's looked quite small for a CB. I'd have said he was about 5'9''

Yeah, same here. Definitely doesn't look 6ft, but hey.

U21's at Leam tomorrow night. Might pop along to support them, but not sure if I'll know any of the side. £12 entrance a bit steep for the level, but guess they have to maximise.

 

[rob9872]

Has anyone heard Tom Williams

V excited by the group coming into the U18s this year

Does that include Tom Williams the lad who played for England or has someone else 'nicked' him?

Think of the fee as a charitable contribution to support local non league football.
