Might just arrive late like Clarke did last year. Probably haggling over the compo

probably not that relevant but it looks like he’s represented by Jay-Z’s company which is a little different; also the only description of playstyle I’ve been able to dig up so far.

No , very much as expected, I don’t ever recall us getting so much access and info on the u16s before to the extent we know more and have seen more of these than any new scholars recently. Malik has a swagger and a presence which bodes well if he is to achieve what we think he can achieve.

A little different indeed, and with jay z's connection with p diddy and his allegations a little scary
…I’m told Justin Clarke will sign a 1 year scholar, 2 year pro contract in the next two weeks.
Seems a bit odd, he’d have signed a nearly two year Scholar contract when we signed him at 16, so a year to go on that and presumably when he’s 17 he’ll sign the pro contract . I’d have thought a 3 year pro contract would be on the cards, putting him in the same category as Graham.
…..can only say what I was told but the detail might have been lost in communication.
We do shroud various aspects of our Scholars in mystery , particularly date of birth , so I’m not sure when his birthday is. Akarakiri is another one , his DoB is down as September when he’ll be 17 which is odd .
Wish we would get a few more in for are youth squad.
wonder if we could get likes the lad that 16 yr came on for Leicester last year Monga or something like that ,
looked an exiting player
they are getting done for PSR supposedly.
So might be worth a punt.
Just to give us a bit of a boost.

I partly agree with your sentiment about getting in a few more. However , I was actually pleased that Jeremy Monga has committed to Leicester for his Scholarship and apparently a pro deal when he’s 17. U16’s particularly seem to be targeted by the likes of City, United, RS and Spurs , they can get them in early pre scholarship, low cost/ low risk and stockpile their academies. It just seems wrong to me that smaller clubs who invest in players in their academy from an early age get peanuts really when the big boys come along . It’s an area the FA should be regulating better, but won’t because of the clubs involved.
Is that Abdulla Alhammadi at around 15 seconds? The trialist goalie from the test event?
Dyche in charge of the academy now??
Dyche may have left but the "hard yards" live on
