So the rumours on Nyoni weren't false then? They both off? I do wonder if the way our academy has been ran in recent years is coming back to haunt us.

Shame the u21’s coaching team didn’t go yesterday like the first team coaching team.

It is, but I don’t think the club are capable of such a turnover of staff in that short a period.

Ryan Donnelly has completed his move from dungannon swifts. Current Northern Ireland u18 international and has already a couple senior games under his belt at 16 years old.

There’s been talk of doing what Brentford have done and switch from U21s to a “B” team

That would be somewhat of an unusual call given we're category 1 but maybe there's some method to it.

not sure we should be going after 20 years olds - in this day and age, by that age they should be pushing for the first team, if not then it's probably too late to start developing them.

Please Top, sort this youth recruitment out. It's absolutely embarrassing.

To be fair mate the lads played Premier League and L1, L2 opposition last season and they will again this season so not much substance in that first sentance.

The second one is spot on though

Haha I was just making an obviously poor joke on the comparison of the teams we're usually linked alongside in transfers to the ones in this article :p

 

I understand you may not be able to have a potential world class player in every position, but it's like we can't be arsed to even try.

Surprised Maswanhise, Wanya Marca and Amani Richards weren't amongst the 1st team yesterday and where on earth is Suphanat Mueanta?

Maybe staying in Thailand until pre season competition?

He'd come over to sign for us last week, only reason for him not to be at pre-season would be if he's going straight to Leuven.

Yeah. Vardy was a wash out. And Ian Wright too.

[niyaminski]

Good to see Ben Nelson with the 1st team in the pictures from yesterday.

 

Recon he’ll play a part this season.
