hertfordyellow 460 Posted September 11, 2020 Has just joined Northampton permanently from Wolves. It felt like a big loss when he left as he was seen as our best prospect. He has played 10 games in total and he is 22 in November. If you look at Max Aarons who is younger, he as 80 games under his belt and is established. The more success we have with youth players the less likely we are going to lose youngsters like this. I wonder where he would be now if he had stayed?

I wonder where he would be now if he had stayed? Hopefully that is a lesson some of the others can be made aware of. Our club offers such a good career path, by not signing with us, he may have missed out. Decisions made early in a career can make or break you and players have to be careful to make decisions for the right reasons. If you are at a good club (which we are) then staying to develop yourself is often going to be the best option. To only have had ten competitve games in two years is criminal management by Wolves and you have to wonder why they took him on, only to ship him off abroad, which plainly did not help him. However, he is young enough to make a name for himself and work himself back up the leagues. The lesson is the grass is not always greener. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just Dan 10 Posted September 11, 2020 Worth noting that he left us before Max or Jamal had made their debuts, so I would suggest his prospects might not have looked as rosy as they would for a lad in a similar position with our club now. With the wonderful job they have made of Colney and the trust in youth that Webber and Farke are using, we must look like a far more attractive option for youngsters in the game than we did in 2017. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NeymarSmith 130 Posted September 11, 2020 If we were to have resigned him, would we have been against that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
