Academy & U21s

Targeting France and Africa.

I’m sure Gestede being French of African descent is purely coincidental.

I thought there was a rule where foreign players could no longer sign until they were 18, and by such time would require one or the other of a GBE/ESC, so who is this France/Africa talent guy watching for the academy? (which is typically U18s)

 

Edit - His LinkedIn answers my question, U18s-U23s apparently, so cheap ESC buys would be my guess

 

I wonder if they are aware that if/when we end up in League 1, we are limited to 2 ESC slots?

Isaac Whitehall has joined Billy Barr & Tyler Magloire at Workington (7th tier)

Like agloire, has had a shocking time with injuries, hope they both get back on track

It's a good market tbf. Problem is our ability to actually sign them with the new rules.

Really a shame about Whitehall. He seemed like a very promising prospect at one time, always getting rave reviews, but suffered from almost perpetual injuries.

Preview of tonight's U21 game, don't know why its saying Frank Vare might have earned the opportunity to step up to U21 level, he has been a fixture for the U21s for most of the season

Shevchenko. I know that name. Is he a relative of the superstar?

[RoyWegerlesLeftToe]

Joseph will almost certainly be off before signing a pro contract. He's exactly what PL scouts will be looking for in a young striker.
