cambridgeshire canary 6,713 Posted June 2, 2021 (edited) Straight into the youth team or loaned out. Good to see of course, boosting our youth academy with players for our future team and all but Wake me up when it's a first team signing.

lake district canary 4,531 Posted June 2, 2021 Don't see the point in loaning him straight out. Get him in to the club, get him acclimatised to our way of football, see what he can do in training and if he is good enough put him in the squad and see how he does in early cup matches. Then a judgement can be made as to whether to send him on loan for games. 18/19 is old enough if you are good enough and it is there for any player to make the step up if they show they are capable, whatever their age, as Max proved. Yes, I know that was the championship, but it doesn't matter what league it is if you show you are capable enough. Opportunities are there for any player regardless of age.

Crafty Canary 495 Posted June 2, 2021 Although it’s a signing consistent withe the policy of signing youngsters with great potential It would be nice to see some actual first team signings other than Gibson and Giannoulis. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They will come, with a lot of distractions with the Euro's/Copa America if we are targeting internationals like Dimi then the deals may well not happen until after the tournament has ended Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Loan hating Lakey is at it again. No one comes in and goes straight in the side. They have to be at the club for a while to learn our way. It is also quite another thing for these prospects to get straight into our Premier League team. While not impossible, it is very clear that this is not the type of signing we are targeting for the first team this pending window, unless you haven't listened to Webber at all.... Hes off on loan.

TheGunnShow 5,940 Posted June 2, 2021 Never anything wrong with going hard on promising youngsters, especially with Brexit and the need to keep a good stream of home-grown youngsters coming into the ranks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Huh?..well..so Messrs Gibson and Giannoulis signed, Messrs Coker and (soon to be) Clarke in as part of our constant and wonderful youth policy and....still another week before the actual transfer window opens. Impatience becomes those it seems who happen to support an awesome club who sow their division up early giving them (fans) a few extra weeks to hum and hah whilst it gives the likes Mr. Webber and Co who actually are employed by the club to have a bit more time for seeing what and who is out there and available...plus waiting to see if any bids arise onto our star players which in turns presents more situations that need dealing with...as and when that happens...not right now when its all just guesswork.

You've won this wonderful Old Spice scent set! We are told we have a limited budget for new signings of which £15M has already gone on making Gibson and Giannoulis’s deals permanent. Unless we sell our ‘crown jewels’ which in itself weakens an already PL weak squad the more ‘for the future’ signings we make the less there is for the PL grade players we desperately need if we are not to make another yo yo return the the Championship. This is not an unreasonable or premature view to have IMO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Max didn’t start playing for us in the PL. What’s the point in having a youngster hanging around to maybe grab some cup minutes when they could be found a club and get a proper pre-season and 40+ games of experience. Presumably if he gets loaned out the club know what he can do and it’s not enough to get near the first team yet. Still a good signing Edited June 2, 2021 by Monty13 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shefcanary 2,397 Posted June 2, 2021 Jeez some of you lot! Looking forward to how this young man develops. And I'm sure it's out of a separate budget to the first team squad. And still 3 months of the window left. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not knocking the loan process, all I'm saying is let the lad settle at the club, get to know everyone and the systems and what is expected of him, then see what is needed to do with him.

andrew norwichcity 8 Posted June 3, 2021 I can say I trust the club more now than ever with their youth loans and intake. The only thing I would want to see more of is loans to a higher standard club or more perseverance with ones who return. But again I think we've seriously nailed the transition into first team for a number of players and doubt there is much room for more in the short term future. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BobLoz3 492 Posted June 3, 2021 Have patience, folks! We will see what happens. Got a Euros and what not to get out of the way first! Clarke is a good player. Won P'boro goal of the season despite not starting that many matches and looks to have a bit about him. They said he'd have been playing for P'boro in the championship this coming season had he stayed. You never know. Might make an impact but I imagine the path for him is U18 upwards. P'boro have a reputation for churning out some excellent players and selling for decent profits. The fact we are getting Clarke in the last year of his contract makes me think we'll be paying a cut price for him. Imagine if he'd shone in the Champs for P'boro this coming season? Would have been worth a fair bit more. It's a good signing. Sensible and with an eye on the future. That's what we do maaannnnn Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Greavsy 2,413 Posted June 3, 2021 I read that Pbro always transfer list players going into their last year / season of contract if they don't sign a new one. So would make sense we have taken a little gamble and got him a little cheaper than if he had a blinding season, but its gets the business done, and dusted.
