Another decent talent gone for nothing

We are really bad at making the most of the talents we have in this tier - poor loans, integration lacking unless their literally WC adjacent from early on, stick em in PL2 until they're 20 with no 1st team experience and no growth as players. No wonder they're leaving after their first deals/scholarship.

All change at U21 level. Actually not sure what the team will look like other than the fact that Dowman and Annous will be in it.

That should slowly start changing as the younger age groups are now moving up the ranks earlier. It's still annoying though and reeks of poor planning in the youth loans department. Mertesacker really does need to get a grip on this this season.

So much work to do now and the pre-season has already started. We need to find balance in that U21 team as that level may be too high for some of the U18's moving into it. I don't know about you but this is starting to look a mess already

At the same time though I can't begrudge Mehmet for his decision as he's deserved this opportunity for the progress he has made over the years.

Hopefully we have planned for a replacement or will just promote from within (Burchall).

Well done Khayon. Earned himself a move the the Portuguese Primeira League. Good move. Away from distraction and noise so he can focus on his football. Well done mate....

I wonder how Sampang and Murisa will do this year. I was impressed by them in the Flamengo Cup. Bailey-Joseph is already there IMO as he was really good.
