To answer my own question... in the Transfers forum.

I understand this lad is 18 and cannot see why we do not try Spillane at his favoured central position.As I have mentioned before this is sending out a very sad message to our youngsters . Spillane is I believe Captain of the Irish U19s and was signed on a very long and lucrative contact and should be given his opportunity unless Grant thinks he is not good enough?. Last Year we took in the lad Boyle who was no better than the people we had and this year Smith from Chelsea who plays where our international U19 Rossi Jaris plays.

Is Grant doing favours for his premiership mates or does he have no confidence in our young players, next thing we know he will bring in a young striker and forget about Martin. I know he wants the best side possible as do we all ,but his management skills seem somewhat strange.

This year we have signed more talented boys and I am concerned that they will lose out as we use our club as a nursery for the premiership boys. If this is the case why have an Academy? lets just wait for other clubs cast offs.

Bendtner and Larsson seemed to do ok for Birmingham last season, Derby had an Arsenal player too.  Maybe it''s just that young Premiership loan players are better than ours ?  I''m fairly certain that if Spillane proves himself to be better than Shawcross, then he will play.

I hope not! I hope he is cover for the new and bought centre back partner for Shacks... I''ll be annoyed if we don''t get a regular decent partner for Shacks... [:(] Still - having a decent stand-in is a good thing(tm) but we still need a perminant fixture!!

Re: Grand...BBC origninally said us rather than Morecombe but that has been corrected now.

 

May be a chance to see young Ryan in action tonight if you have sky. Manure V Glentoran is live...unless he is in the other Manure XI against Dunfermline.
