NR32-Yellow 7 Posted January 23 Brilliant news. Aboh needs to be done next. Any idea how long Myles' contract is, it's probably me not reading properly but i can't see confirmation of the length anywhere? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thirsty Lizard 3,184 Posted January 23 Can't see anything anywhere which says how long the contract is either, but good that he's signed one at all to be honest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

These have tended to happen in batches of late, so maybe we'll now hear about Aboh or someone else signing their first pro deal tomorrow or Thursday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Branston Pickle 3,709 Posted January 23 (edited) I’m surprised, I understood the club was meant to be rotten to the core and everyone was keen to leave? Edit: obviously it is good news. Edited January 23 by Branston Pickle 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, it does show that this lad can see something in the club that many of our own supporters can't. I think that's the point being made. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RobJames 905 Posted January 23 "many of our own supporters" Supporter - a person who approves of and encourages a football club Whiner - a person given to excessive complaints and crying it does show that this lad can see something in the club that many of the whiners can't 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Connor Southwell did express concern the other lad, Aboh, could be another Matos situation. Every club down to almost your local pub team has 'scouts' monitoring it. That's how we signed Fisher, Gordon and Gibbs. That's why such idiocies as 'flying under the radar are nonsense. We actually 'nicked' Matos from Luton, among others over the years. A player cannot sign a pro contract until he is 17. This lad reached 17 and so signed a pro deal. Poor Cambs, not understanding this, posted up another of his 'look at me' threads, unaware that it was a 'routine signing. Cambs isn't too up on football, he just likes to be the first with news. Though it is mostly merely re posting what is on the Pinkun front page. Still, it keeps him off the streets, I suppose. Edited January 23 by RobJames Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've never seen him play, but he's been getting some really good reviews lately. And of course plenty of Academy players turn 17 and aren't offered a professional contract.

TheGunnShow 6,029 Posted January 23 This notion that he'll be in the first team soon looks like a stretch that only a bloody good osteopath could get. He's said on the website that his first aim is to become a regular starter in the Under 21s and hopefully to get the chance to train with the first team. My suspicion is that if he's that promising, they'll really look at him in pre-season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Monty13 2,256 Posted January 23 It’s good news, there seems to be a suggestion from a few places that he and Aboh are the shining lights of the Academy right now. Getting one tied down amid PL interest is great going, if we can get both that would genuinely be amazing work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would suggest it is not so much hype, as one of the Pinkun trying to pad out a routine youth signing. The lad has reached 17, which means he can now sign pro forms. What next ? Youth player allowed to legally drink. Youth player is able to drive ? Cambs goes to a game............................................perhaps not Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hopefully the change in regime (and possibly with another one on the managerial front coming) he will be convinced there's a pathway there. Even so it'll remain a hard sell with Sargent, Idah and Kamara all young and ahead of him as it stands. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
