Not as in as much of a strong position to negotiate a contract I don't think. Unless Robins already knows he is going.

Or as our new left midfielder... or Stokes as centre back / injured... or Camwell as not ready this season, but next.

Great signing. It's important we don't continuously use our academy as a fire sale as it's highly possible that in 2/3 years time players such as Camwell could develop into a real stars. Not sure where this leaves Haynes, however. Personally would prefer he signs along with Camwell as I wouldn't feel totally safe with just Stokes ahead of him. So I do think we need more cover. CCFC wouldn't want the mistake of throwing him into the deep-end as we have done previously with many of our graduates and ultimately damage his career if things don't go well....

so is this kid good enough for first team? can he be left back rotation with stokes?

. Good signing. Him and Stokes for left back seems ample to me (if Haynes goes). We seem to be putting together a grittier (rather than prettier) squad, which will hopefully be what is needed in this league.Time will tell. His value can only increase, too.

This. He was always going to stay.
Surely if under contract a fee is required? If not then that is when compensation comes in. So it is important. Plus we keep another talent at the club.

Big clubs do still have to buy kids under contract, for now anyway.

I think contracts have become more of a bargaining tool. The inks not even dry on his new two year contract and we all know that if Stoke really want him, they can afford the fee to buy him tomorrow.
On the upside, I do think it's refreshing to see us signing players for two years rather than loans or one year contracts. Gives a bit more stability for both parties.

I've never heard of this lad . If he hasn't played in the first team yet how can anyone say he's better than......as good as....a replacement for ? He's a completely unknown quantity .

Funnily enough he comes to watch us play on Sundays and came to our presentation on Saturday night. I told him not to sign for Cov and just play on Sundays instead, he weren't interested in my offer for some reason!Can he still play on a Sunday?

Can see him covering left back on the occasions that Stokes plays CB.

No, watched him a lot over the last couple of seasons, fantastic going forward. Big issue is 1 v 1 where 9 times out of 10 he gets beat. I think once Robins sees a bit more of him he will see that he may have over rated him.

Same as Ryan Haynes then, but younger and should improve.

Totally agree, should improve under Robins. He has far more aggression than Haynes!

You rate Finn and Bayliss the most from this group don't you?

I think all the new pros are very good, if I were to put them in order of best potential to least potential, the 2 you mention would certainly be at the top, followed by Thomson, Hickman, Ford then Camwell - what's your thoughts?
