Will be interested to see how his pans out compensation wise as it hasn’t gone down well at all. 
Illegal approach , tapping up , usual dodgy dealings from Agent etc etc all in the melting pot 

Maybe we’ll get someone on loan from them to calm the waters ?

I'd heard they'd offered us Kaide Gordon and we rejected it.

Is there anything to worry about face we have lost two of our 16 year olds to City & Liverpool? Does losing best players to big clubs at such young age not really irritate everyone else

 

 

I know we can still bring through talent but does not seem fair even with Seagrave and the geographic advantage of being a one county club that we still lose our best youngsters to big 6

Money and prestige unfortunately.

what ever happened to that defender that went to City? well done agents got your pay off but 2 more lads now lost in the system at the "big boys"

Think he’s at Colchester now

The academy has also had a big clear out in the lower age groups too. This whilst losing some of our best prospects to other clubs and injury. Rather than investing in them we seem more interested in signing Villa rejects. Our academy is not anywhere close to where it needs to be compared to the facilities. Somethings not right.

[Sly]

For every Barnes, we’ll have another 200 players with great potential. 
 

Sadly, players leave if they feel they can grow elsewhere.

Good loan for him, Mansfield one of the better sides in a competitive league.

...would you think he would be better placed playing the style of the first team in the U21s, than going out on loan!!!

In the new season for the U21s, it does not appear that we are playing in the same fashion as Maresca's first team and that would have been a big innovation for this club.

He turns 23 in November, he needed to be either loaned out or sold, not still hanging around our under 21s

[Happy Fox]

Amani Richards if Daka leaves could be an option for us as the third choice striker?

Interesting that no other club has taken a chance on him, considering he was quite highly rated at one point

[sacreblueits442]

...he stagnated here!!!

Watching him come on as a substitute for the U21s he was totally ineffective, mind you I am not sure he or the team knew what was expected of them. Kian looked more busy but was always on the fringe of things, both hardly ever got involved in games due to supply being from a team struggling for dominance in games.

  This could be the best thing that could happen to him, although he may not see it that way at the present, having to go backwards to go forward.
