Be nice to hold onto someone long enough for the club to move up with them.

He's got a lovely first touch. There was one ball against Fleetwood that was higher than the stands and he trapped it with one touch beautifully, best display of technique in the whole match. He's got good movement and a definite spark of creativity about him. But he still needs work on awareness-as you'd expect at his age-and he really needs to learn when to dive! As it stands, he looks to throw himself to the deck as a first resort. Hopefully he'll have learnt from that red card.
He's a gamble for any big club at this stage, but there have been plenty of other unproven teenagers that they've taken a punt on for their academy in the past. I definitely think that it would benefit both the player and any potential suitors for him to be loaned out for a year or 2 in L1 to learn the game better, but doubt that we have the nous to make sure that it's us!

Why aren't we putting release clauses in these lads contracts when they turn pro something crazy like £10 million then we have more chance of keeping them and if we want to sell the balls in our court

Because the first team is nothing but a shop window to our owners.

True, but if they want it to be a shop window put some decent price tags on with decent mark ups on. No doubt they'll go for a quick buck and take a million plus a sell on clause

That's the real problem. The clubs become a pound shop. That's not fair, a B&M's.

What's B & M's? We don't have them in Royal Leamington Spa I don't think.

Too posh over there, you stick to Waitrose!
Think the fact there is no Waitrose in Leamington really hurts a few people!

I'm not saying she didn't piss in the bath but I always thought it was a bath.

Well, The Regent was the first ever public hotel that she stayed in. She took the waters, liked 'em, and said "this shit is wicked, lets make this place Royal!"

If it was a definite we would see some of the money to re invest then I would prolly get rid if the price is right maybe build a link with one of the big clubs instead of Nuneaton and get some decent loans in, wishful thinking you know dam well we won't see shit bet fisher would treat himself to a new wax jacket though

There's even one in Lincoln, only been in the once, but no word of a lie there was actually a guy shopping in there wearing a cravat.
Sometimes there are stereotypes for a reason.

Maddison always struck me as a Sainsbury's man.
Short, quick, not always the full-shelf stocked but you can see what's there, there's so much potential for a better deal.

Bilton. Where the old social club(?) used to be, opposite the Green, to the side of that new estate.

He'll never ever get a game with Spurs; they will loan him out to a Championship club.

Which is impossible! If you sell a player for a million, in order to better the team you then have to buy a player for more than a million, since better players tend to cost more than poorer players. So how does that make sense? Don't forget also we invested a lot of money developing the Academy Graduates, they did not come free.
Based on that statement we are destined to stay in league 1 indefinitely?
Sometimes in football it helps if you can keep young players for more than one season, you never know they might become part of a winning mentality and help you gain promotion.
Sad to say promotion isn't in sisu's remit

Who has put this Maddison rumour to Spurs about ? If Tottenham really want him they would be no speculation they will move in offer a bit of dosh and ride back to London. I am suspicious that by putting this little rumour about it puts Maddison in the shop window for someone else to make a move, sort of thing sisu will do to make a quick buck. Wouldn't be the sort of thing the honourable Mr Waggott would do, would it ?

He was out of the game the other day too with a bad back I think.

Yeah, I remember Spurs signing Westwood, it was a done deal, conveniently missed a game to sign the deal....
