CFG | Academy | EDS in & out season 2024/25

how long they expecting, these lads are 15-16 lol. 5-7 year ban?

Even a 2 year ban is a long time to miss out on new talents emerging.

 

[BringBackSwales]

No where, but I'm guessing it may be one of the compromises on the 115 proceedings.

We won't get points off, or relegated, instead it'll be like fines or limited window transfer bans, is my guess..

So you’re assuming despite what the club says we are at least partially guilty? I would be amazed

like theory but i very much doubt it, we do this with the EDS every few years

Well we already received some fines already from those 115 just recently, that were in regards to like time wasting or something stupid like that.

I don't pretend to know anything about inner workings, maybe nothing else on top happens.

Im just guessing (aren't we all) on potential minor compromises in this stupid legal battle.

Yeah, we definitely buy for the EDS every year, like Mukasa and McAidoo are not from our academy.

It just seems like alot more than usual, so I threw out a potential guess, could easily be wrong.

those two things arent linked. 115 has dropped nothing.

Ah okay, for some reason I thought those fines were related to some of those 115.

Nvm then.

Lol it was for coming out late and delaying the kick off!

A transfer embargo isn’t in my view a minor compromise. The fines we just got were unrelated to the 115 charges, they were for taking too long to appear for the second half, the second season running

The third season running.
The second season punctuality improved but last season it got worse again.

think the current u21s are toast, the top u18s will get bumped and planned into the succession from next year+ onward (assuming they hit trajectories as expected).

And the current u18s tommorows toast on that logic. Current u21s have won everything and agree will be almost entirely moved on, the u18s group except for Mfuni are likely to follow

think somw will have a fighting chance looking at the time, ages and profiles, gonna be another season or two before they are first team subs etc. Just depends on the need.

thats the entire staple contributers on BM isn't it? (me included!)

When did we last bring a fullback through to play in the first team?
I don’t mean Rico or Zinco
A dedicated fullback. Stephen Jordan?

Also a decent striker . I know Delap was close but would be nice to bring quality first team striker through

A striker would need to score goals in all of his first team chances to really break through and that is unlikely to happen given the low blocks we face. Maybe we need to be more controlling of our youngsters. Maybe if Delap had been kept rather than allowed to go to Ipswich he would have done enough to progress.
Often it is opportunity combined with a bit of luck - look how Rashford broke through at the rags.

Seeing the likes of McAtee leave isn’t going to fill the Eds lads with confidence, nor Alleyne and Simpson Pusey missing out on the club World Cup. I’ve not seen much press about departures but you couldn’t blame lads to think opportunity is better elsewhere and follow Jacob Wrights example

True. We could really do with a couple of players coming through in the next seasons. Even playing in the CWC this summer would have raised the profile and price tag of a couple. It would also be a blessing if we were able to produce a couple of goalkeepers, as that would help with the number of foreign slots.

McAtee had the opportunity to go to the CWC and chose England

Although if you look around at the ex city academy players plying their trade at good levels elsewhere. Probably far more than any other club. Youth know if they join us it’s a fantastic route to success. Either at city or more so elsewhere.

For his development, it is probably a better choice. Our squad is so packed at the moment, he would have got more game time at U21's and he is more aware than anyone that he is on the periphery of the squad. He has been the captain.
I would have preferred that the CWC and U21 tournament hadn't clashed.
Some of the players didn't go as they have recently changed club and I wouldn't have minded seeing Nico G, Cherki and Delap playing at the U21's.
