SCIAGIan Royalurz13 What sort of a prospect is Stacey, out of interest? His goals recently have been great.
Think Little.
Best bits of Little, Seol and KébéHe's quicker and more of a goal threat than Little, and not as good with his delivery (well duh), but I definitely see the comparison, they have a similar build and gait.
tidus_mi2 Something I've wondered about the academy, did we get Cat 1 status based on the building plans at Bearwood? If so, and say due to our situation at the moment we aren't able to go ahead with these upgrades to the youth facilities, would we be downgraded to Cat 2?
I am sure Bearwood will have played a part in it. I think academies are reviewed every two years, so we have another year to sort it out.
I'm not actually sure how much of a difference it will make. Remember that these players pre-date EPPP, and Pearce etc. even predate the reforms after WC 2006. If we're capable of producing the best bunch of kids their age without the benefits of Category 1, why worry about being Category 2?
Because It allowed us to cherry pick players like Cardwell and Collins who have impressed (especially Cardwell)
