Abraham might play fewer games because of the Werner signing but they’re still going to play more academy grads than probably 90% of English teams. You're ignoring the fact that Chelsea have WAY more players on their books than Leicester. For every one that has "made" it they have many many more than us who have not. 20 hours ago, Cardiff_Fox said: Might have not been such a great loss there. Went back to Romanian champions Cluj. Played four games. Finds himself on loan at the bottom team of the Romanian top flight (until they released somehow magically went on a running run *hint* *nothing to see here* *hint*) That's surprising news. Pascanu played well for us at a time when we had a lot of good CBs, he also played well in the U21 euros. He seemed a good player who should have made it in championship or even lower prem football.

Think this is a really good point, Chelsea have huge numbers on their books so is understandable they'd have more success stories than us. But this is where we need to be smarter with how we do youth recruitment and stop hoarding players in the u23s who clearly won't make it at our level Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you spent nearly twice as much on agent fees as us this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesta2014 Posted 9 July 2020 Share Posted 9 July 2020 (edited) Really don’t get the hughes one at 23. Are we really skint and he’s gunna be in the squad as 5th choice?

mozartfox Posted 9 July 2020 Share Posted 9 July 2020 We cannot be skint if we are offering Wes a 1 year contract extension. His weekly salary is most probably higher than most of the under 23 squad combined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about Hughes? Decent player with a great attitude but dont think his style or ability will be suited to a club with Top4 PL aspirations....should be good enough for Lg1 or maybe even championship level at some point. Cant imagine we wont be signing better CBs over the coming season who are already finished article so not sure where he will fit in to the senior set-up (& Josh Knight might be back next season?) I think Shade has great potential if managed well. Quick, strong, good feet and skillful with a good work ethic. Great bit of scouting from whoever picked him up as got him cheaply from non-league football (possibly Free?). Bit interesting to see how quickly and how well he progresses under BR.... if its left to Beaglehole, it would be a waste of talent just like Ndukwu. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then couldn’t get a game at an awful Southend side? I don’t get it? He’s got another year left here hasn’t he? Needs a positive loan this coming season and a run of games.

I really think he is in his head and unable to unlock the player. Watched him in the Under 23s and he has been poor, the only times when I have seen him look like a player was surprisingly on two occasions when he shot from near the halfway line. Although he failed to score, it was as if he realised he had the permission to express himself and he reveled in the game.He does not carry any confidence into games and upon release from the club he will have to decide if football is what he wants to do as looking at him on the pitch you would never believe it is his passion.

I wonder if Brendan will try him out in the first team before the end of the season...suppose it depends if we have anything to play for (which we probably will).

Highly doubt it, in terms of contributions to the U23's this season he is behind Hirst and Eppiah. Shade really needs a loan move next season, we plucked him from non-league and there's definitely a real talent there but needs the next step. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hirst and Eppiah's agents are going to be looking outwards very soon . They are in their twenties now and being pros. they will want more money. Personally I would pick either of them above Demairi Gray and he is probably on north of £50,000 a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
