Topic: The Reserves & Academy Thread - Chris Hogg Appointed

[Optimistic Nut]

I know clubs take certain players from different regions (Carrick to West Ham for instance) and clubs might have scouts dotted about at grassroots level, but to be affiliated with clubs outside the area seems a bit off to me.

Signed the kid of that kitman that got axed by the mackems.

Thought it was him. He was slagging SAFC off something rotton the other week for it so they probably wanted rid anyway.

Aye, I remember reading he'd called them cowards which probably isn't wise.

Just thinking about our most notable Academy graduates... they've all been injury prone.

Andy Carroll
Paul Dummett
Steven Taylor
Shola Ameobi (played through crippling hip injury)

Would it be fair to say James Tavernier is our most successful active Academy product? How is his injury record since leaving the club?

Paul Gascoigne?

It’s really p*ssed me off tbh and I haven’t been this annoyed since Rafa left. It’s like they’re not content with having scouts everywhere else, and having every other advantage they want to take our only real chance of producing our own talent. But then our club and our academy has been a shambles for so long I can’t really blame them. If the takeover happens I hope they address this and even start setting up satellite clubs near Chelsea to see how they like it.

SAFC player who labelled club’s hierarchy ‘cowards with no class’ for making his dad redundant has signed for NUFC. Jay Turner-Cooke hit out at club last month after long-serving kitman & former SAFC player John Cooke was let go without any acknowledgement https://t.co/hj71JxZgzH

Look forward to seeing how he does for Rotherham on loan in a year or so

Looks like an absolute c***.

I mean, he got a move up two divisions straight away out of it so not worked out bad for him.

What a s*** club we are.

Allan & Young’s loan spells cancelled. 447 minutes & 3 League One starts between them. Well done, Shola.

[Rafalove]

Clubs do it already don’t they? Sure I remember reading Southampton do, or did.

Probably. I mean Manchester United managed to take Shola Shoretire from under our noses.

They took him directly from the academy, by giving his dad a 'job' so they'd move to Manchester. And it was Man City.

Reading about it here.

How has he had such a s**** career after being so highly rated?

Usual story of just signing a player so others couldn't get him
