Heard we've signed a lad from Plymouth for £1m, could be the next Rooney. Aaron Spear. You heard it here first. 

Aaron Spear, that's a blast from the past :lol:

 

Who was that lad that played up top which we signed from a non-league club after a hot streak, and because we were so starved of youth prospects under Ashley everyone creamed their pants? :lol:

I can't think of anyone, I wanted to say Lee Novak, but nah. What year you thinking?

It was some time around 2012, something like that I think.

Edmundson and Ben Williamson come to mind.

That's the guy! I thought he actually signed, but I guess not.

 

Stellar memory sir.

Going to be some experience for these two like. From playing lower league Academy teams to the best in England and Europe.

Signed from Oldham for £100k according to some forum. 

Any news on the other two England youth grade lads who were supposed to be signing? 
 

Also heard we’re interested in one of the lads from the Mackems who played England u17s, not Rigg.

Hoovering up the age group talent is exactly the moves Man City and Chelsea did. They then ended up fighting it out to win the Youth Leagues every season and fattening their FFP buffers.
