U18 & U21 news and info...

Anyone know what has happened to Luke O'Donnell? Highly rated when we signed him but hasn't played for a year now. Also Reece Bowen. Hasn't played for months for the u18's and started the season quite well.
 
Would be great if Jerome Abbey could get some minutes in the first team this season. Anyone seen his top bin goal in the warm up yesterday? The lad clearly is quality. Hopefully he signs on for the u18 group in the next few months and isn't pinched by one of the big boys.

It wouldn't as if he did well he would get poached as not 17, yet and we are unable to offer him a pro deal yet.

True. Just get over the first hurdle of getting him in the u18's full time and then hopefully do as we have done with Mane and Okoduwa.
 
I hadn't realised that Fletcher Holman had gone on a permanent transfer, I thought it was just a loan.

I always liked the look of him, I really wouldn't be suprised to see him do well over the years.

He may well do (although personally think he lacks pace to be a top level striker) but you can’t hold onto players forever and he’s 21 now so needs to be settled for the good of his career

Hopefully we’ve got a sell-on fee if he comes good
 
We.might get a bag of scratchings for the sell on amount of a transfer fee for a league 2 player.
 
I had assumed Xu Bin was going to be loaned to the first team, seems mad signing a 21 year old and loaning him to a League One team’s academy.
 
I don’t really get that - why would they bother taking him on loan if they didn’t think he had the potential to play for their first team this season?
To sell on. Could be a favour to somebody.

We've done it before with Bolla, Dadashov and Kawabe. Bin week be the same.

Agreed. I hope that he has similar family support to Bellingham, who will look at the bigger picture and longer-term, rather than short-term money. I fear the worst though.
