You only need to look at the fact that Trey Nyoni has more minutes for Fing Liverpool than any of of our current academy players has for us to realise that our club doesnt give our academy players enough opportunities.

Transfermarkt tells me Nyoni has 0 PL minutes. I remember him starting in a cup game they lost to Plymouth.

There's more than enough this club gets wrong to not have to make things up....

Guy Branston is his agent. All that buttering up of Rudkin on Ric’s pod clearly didn’t get the contract offer up then. 

The so-called contract offer...?

So you don’t think there was a contract offer then ?

I didnt make it up just forgot to factor in Nelson's FA cup minutes and got mixed up between the EFL trophy and EFL cup for Nyoni. I stand corrected though Nelson has more than Nyoni.

Apologies, it was a joke about Guy using 'so called' quite a few times during the podcast.

Fulham may have had a stronger case as  Elliot had already had first team minutes in the cup at 15 and a PL debut at 16.

 

 

 

 

Fair enough but Nyoni became Liverpool’s youngest ever player when he started against Southampton in the fa cup aged sixteen.

The fee will show up in next years accounts.

The last Scottish loan for an academy midfielder didn't work very well, hope this does better.

Falkirk Manager John McGlynn said of the move: “I would like to thank everyone at Leicester City FC for making this loan deal happen and in particular Jon Rudkin and everyone at SMI World Henry’s agency.”

[coolhandfox]

Good Luck Henry!

“You can have Cartwright if you say something in the announcement that makes me look like I’ve got some kind of ability”

Tyrese Noubissie

 

Noubissie is expected to leave Manchester City this summer after finding his opportunities limited, and United are among several clubs vying to recruit him.

 

Man city paid Leicester 1m pound notes for him

Didn’t realise he signed a new deal, hopefully a good move. He’s more physical that braybooke so more likely the make it in the men’s game 

[Noahfence]

Fingers crossed he has a better experience than the last two loans in Scotland

Players that get poached by the elite clubs like this, we should be tracking their development and trying to pick them up again if we think they're still good enough but just getting squeezed by that bottle-neck that happens at academy level.

 

Absolutely no need to for sour grapes if he could become good enough. Tyler Dibling went from Southampton to Chelsea and back and could either end up making them a mint, firing them straight back into the Prem, or both.

Yeah but what’s frustrating is I bet Man U pay more than than 1 mill to pick him up. 
 

I assume he meant Man U, might get a little less from scunthorpe or colchester

U21’s beat Notts county B team 6-1 today

[lcfc sheff]

Aluko, Monga and Page definitely need to be in first team this season. 

 

look more than comfortable against a championship-level team... its scary

[Ryy]

 

[FoxesFourLife]

I know Page has rumoured to have rejected a contract and waiting to see what happens under Marti but has there been any news about Evans they said when Monga signed it was almost completed not seen anything you would think he would be part of the match day squad all season.

There's some inconsistency in when his 17th birthday is. Some media report it as June and others August.
