Stevosevic Posted 5 May 2007 Share Posted 5 May 2007 No Chambers on this list?!! hes the same age as Mattock, so a year younger than the latest recruits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Posted 5 May 2007 Author Share Posted 5 May 2007 He may have signed a pre- contract but he can't sign a full one until he's 17. any pre contract would become a perminant 1 the second he turns 17, there are laws to protect them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thracian Posted 5 May 2007 Share Posted 5 May 2007 I thought you said he was good Thrac? Wasnt he a miget though? He looked very small when I first saw him but soon caught up some. He always looked a tireless and cosntructive midfielder when I watched him and I wonder if, with the youth of first team midfielders Wesolowski and Porter, the continued presence of Hughes and the likely elevation of King, Teejay was released because the club simply couldn't see him getting opportunies.

Wezleylowski Posted 5 May 2007 Share Posted 5 May 2007 He looked very small when I first saw him but soon caught up some.He always looked a tireless and cosntructive midfielder when I watched him and I wonder if, with the youth of first team midfielders Wesolowski and Porter, the continued presence of Hughes and the likely elevation of King, Teejay was released because the club simply couldn't see him getting opportunies. Thats a shame i bet he was devastated. Im sure he will get a chance somewhere else though, maybe at a lower league club with a chance to work his way up from there.

Jonbluefox9 Posted 5 May 2007 Share Posted 5 May 2007 Don't think many of those players will make it here imo. Magunda, Beswick and Mckay are decent players but I think they'll struggle to make it here especially now we are able as a club to bring better quality players in. I think Cisak has the potential to make it if he can put this season behind him. It's crucial that we have a reserve team next season so both he and Pentney can play, hopefully with Cisak playing the reserve games. Next season is a big one for Gradel, King and Odhiambo. With the lack of quality midfielders at the club at the moment, King and Gradel should be pushing themselves into the frame and if they don't then they'll have missed the boat. Odhiambo needs to continue his progress and if he does then chances in the first team may come. I'd say a maximum of four of them will do what Stearman, Wesolowski, Porter and Logan have managed to do but realistically I'd say two of the eight will.

Hes either a bit special, or more likely, its because our team is pisspoor and we dont have any better alternatives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thracian Posted 5 May 2007 Share Posted 5 May 2007 they aint gunna go after him after 3 1/4 games I think they were well aware of Mattock's ability before he ever got in the first team. And the comfortable way he's taken to first team football won't discourage them in any way. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevosevic Posted 5 May 2007 Share Posted 5 May 2007 Right now he's on International duty with England Tells you something doesn't it? so that means hes a bit special? a hell of alot of players play for their national youth sides. it doesnt mean hes a bit special Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonbluefox9 Posted 5 May 2007 Share Posted 5 May 2007 Big clubs know about Mattock. No doubt about it. They have people every where and quality shows through. Plus, if our first team players are so shit then Mattock's done amazingly well as a 16 year old to drag a team of senior pros to survival. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go with your first thought, Stevo. It's easier. Mattock's not on the fast track for nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
