Ric Flair Posted 25 January 2008 Posted 25 January 2008 Has he disappeared? No sign of him in the reserves or youth teams recently? Injured or been released? If we have got rid of him, I hope the stories about rejecting over £500,000 for him were bollocks, because that would be insane.
Thracian Posted 25 January 2008 Posted 25 January 2008 I've no news. The Academy lads are something of a clan, they normally move through the club together, socialise together, share digs together etc. A biggish group of them were at Hinckley for the Reserves match on Wednesday. Apart from those playing and on the bench there was Stearman, Mattock, Weso, Magunda (I think), plus girlfriends, associates, family etc. But no Sappleton. He didn't play in the FA Youth Cup either, nor was he on the bench and I can't remember him getting injured. Again, it would be nice of the OS to keep us informed. I'm truly amazed at the service we get from there sometimes. They're effectively set up as the frontline information organisation at City yet don't really fulfill the role. It's more like Pravda, a selective information service feeding the fans only those bits of information THEY think will serve as good PR for their masters. To some extent I understand that. But I don't understand failing, for instance, to properly report on Academy matches we lose or failing to tell us about players who come and go and why. I'm talking about under 18's upwards here. I well understand the club's reluctance to put under 16's and even younger players in the spotlight for various reasons. I suppose I should have asked about Sapp when I was down there. Another I've not seen about is Levi. Usually when players are recovering from injury they are round about on their crutches or whatnot as soon as they feel strong enough - Chambers, Magunda and Beswick being fairly recent examples. But I've not seen Levi. Maybe I've missed him but someone I spoke to at the Youth Cup game said they'd not spoken to him since November. I just hope things are going well with his recovery but, again, it would be nice if the club kept people informed. After all both Levi and Sapp were fairly high profile players in their different ways.

Thracian Posted 25 January 2008 Posted 25 January 2008 Levi was at the youth cup match, he sat just infront of me. Relieved to hear that, I must have missed him. Was he walking unaided?

Bet that was one Big bench bet Stears GF has a cracking right foot...
Unabomber Posted 25 January 2008 Posted 25 January 2008 I saw Sappleton at the reserves, he came over to Stearman etc talking about going to Liquid or something, so he is still here.
General Smuts Posted 25 January 2008 Posted 25 January 2008 I saw Sappleton at the reserves, he came over to Stearman etc talking about going to Liquid or something, so he is still here. Phew!
Dames Posted 25 January 2008 Posted 25 January 2008 He's always about town shopping and stuff i've seen him a few times, he even spoke to me and my friend about how he always buys himself for the big clubs on FM.
brendan Posted 25 January 2008 Posted 25 January 2008 Sappleton, Stearman, Mattock, King, Weso, Hendo & Magunda were all at Liquid nightclub on wednesday night, also the squad were at Soar point on tuesday night, including the likes of clem & bruno! team bonding?!?!

Who's ID is Mattock using to get in then?
Unabomber Posted 25 January 2008 Posted 25 January 2008 Who's ID is Mattock using to get in then? They rang ahead.

But I don't understand failing, for instance, to report on Academy matches we lose or failing to tell us about players who come and go and why. The OS isn't very good but it does do reports of Academy games we lose. There was one from the Villa match the other week and one from the Tottenham defeat earlier in the season too.

There was one from the Villa match the other week and one from the Tottenham defeat earlier in the season too. It wasn't much of a Villa report especially considering it was a top of the table clash. But I've amended my comment nevertheless.
Sods Posted 25 January 2008 Posted 25 January 2008 Relieved to hear that, I must have missed him. Was he walking unaided? Sappleton was at the youth cup match as well sat front row. Not with Stearman and his lot though.

Staf Posted 25 January 2008 Posted 25 January 2008 I hope sappleton hasnt left he is a good prospect and it shows how good he is when teams like Man Utd are interested

That would've been before or after the Go-Karting.
lcfc_jme Posted 25 January 2008 Posted 25 January 2008 He's hoping to back in full-training and competitive matches very soon from what he said to me, just been struggling with a little injury. He'll be back in action before you know it.
