Apparently we've bid 250k for a 17yr Barnet striker who scored over 50 goals in their under 18s last season. But Barnet have either rejected the bid or the FAW have blocked the move as we made an illegal approach. Anyone know what's going on with this?
We're really looking ahead signing all these youngsters.It makes you wonder where and when they'll break through or do we buy ready made and proven quality.The Scottish lads had a wee few games but then vanished most of last season.Great for our u21's i guess but are the likes of Gorre going to be given a chance or will we be buying instead.

I would say he is better off at Barnet in league 2 rather in our u21s. Rory is a lesson for me. Also i still want us to try and bring our Academy players through rather than body snatch young players from smaller clubs. I think quality players like Grimes are worth the investment, others seem like gambles to be honest and none has made an impact at first team level to date - maybe Gorre will be the first.
I think the reason we are pushing for Academy 1 status is we have far more credibility to players that see a first team place as a realistic option.......we can now scour the whole country and pick up loads of youth players some from under the noses of the 'bigger clubs' (and I don't mean Kairdiff) ðŸ‘

Is it not also true that when you get category one status, you must also show progression from the acadamy into first team football to retain it.
