Wolves Academy Thread

[Norman Deeley]

Why has Barca let him go? Have we promised him playing time?

Can't make sense of it, tbh.

Don't Barca and Real Madrid quite often put a buy back clause in deals like this? Can't believe that Barca simply released him

 

[Alan]

True. Surely must be something like that. Long-term loan, more or less. Still, if he plays a role in getting us up, hard to complain.

 

[Carrotdude]

We're signing him when his contract expires so I doubt there's any clauses in it.

Yeah, that was the one of the reasons for the delay in Torras playing as we couldn't agree the terms of it.

Maybe deserves its own thread but Wolves confirm what Comptonstars on Twitter said quite a bit back!

Hopefully a younger, more dynamic coaching team with an eye for attractive football replaces them.

Those pair that Saints released would be a decent start... I know it's down to the area etc, but surely they had a hand in the development of Shaw, Reed, Lallana, Chambers etc

Surely they could've given him this season's shirt to hold up?

On a serious note, welcome!

Think that picture probably did happen at the back end of last season just official today

Do you guys think this is a one off restocking of the academy or it's just that our under 15's to date have been poor?

It looks like a concerted effort to get better players regardless of nationality. It may be that the scouting locally or coaching locally is not up to the standard we can find elsewhere. Seems a good strategy to me. Shame they're not English but if the talent isn't there what can you do?

Why did Fulham let him go?

 

[Hamlet]

Is he academy then or...Ive heard the words "highly rated" thrown about!

When's the last time "highly rated" wasn't used to describe a new signing?
