Sempiternal Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 Sanusi out of the academy lads is the one I think can make it the first team. Bags of natural ability just needs to put it together Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 Lovely play by Leo Shahar to create the goal to put England 1 up against France in their first game in the U17 Euros, in the second minute.

Newcastle Fan Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 From .com: "Ahead of formal confirmation of the club's released and retained list, four members of Newcastle' development squad have announced their departures from SJP: Matty Bondswell, Kyle Crossley, Amadou Diallo, Jordan Hackett, Michael Ndiweni and Jude Smith have all taken to social media in recent days. It's also claimed that Lucas De Bolle, Will Brown and Dylan Stephenson are leaving, along with forgotten duo Rodrigo Vilca and Kelland Watts.

Ash Posted Tuesday at 15:01 Share Posted Tuesday at 15:01 Sounds like we're going to be extremely aggressive with our academy recruitment this year. We made some impressive moves last season and it wouldn't be a surprise to see us top it this time around, in terms of both quality and quantity. Not just at U18 level either but further down the age groups too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyt Posted Tuesday at 16:31 Share Posted Tuesday at 16:31 I've always had a bit of a problem with players as young as 14 being snapped up by bigger clubs, especially when they have to relocate significantly for it. I guess players bounce around academies in their region all the time but I don't know it just feels a bit unethical buying a 14 year old Might just be me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If nothing else, fans of those clubs should have the opportunity of seeing local lads come through their ranks. I’m still annoyed by Bobby Clarke, and that lad that left for Chelsea.

Wallace Posted Tuesday at 18:11 Share Posted Tuesday at 18:11 Maybe due to the PSR rules, clubs are looking to boost their academies so they can sell the players in the future rather than developing them for their own team. That doesn’t seem right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted Tuesday at 19:18 Share Posted Tuesday at 19:18 I think they brought in rules quite a few years ago so young players from abroad couldn't join academies at such a young age like Fabregas did at Arsenal It just makes me feel very uneasy that teams are 'buying' children Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCK Posted Wednesday at 08:54 Share Posted Wednesday at 08:54 The catchment areas increase with the age groups. Younger age groups are local area only, then regionally, then nationally, etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
