Didn't Daniel Kanu miss the last U18's then not in the U23s today but a first year scholar is... 2 weeks before he turns 17... An injury? Trying to keep him under wraps? Already know he is off? Other...?
We always think about the football ability but schooling has to be worked out when signing lads who are still Scholars. Category A Academies recruit from everywhere and the youngsters have to move schools to be nearer to training grounds or one of the school's used by the bigger clubs.
The Harris schools in South London, North London and Kent (Orpington) have a link up with the kinetic foundation where Joe Aribo, Baah, Josh Maja, Norrington-Davies and Omar Richards who is now at Bayern Munich (ex Reading) and 50+ others have signed pro deals in the last 10 years after being educated at kenetic with football their main subject. Most of the lads were released by pro academies and Aribo was a CB when he was a tall 13 year old before he was converted into a Midfielder when he went to Staines for a short period before coming to Cafc at about 16.
Baah was a talent but was a lively lad and released by Palace. He was certainly lively against Cafc at the valley in that first half when he scored a brace for Rochdale at 17. Nearly went to Man city where an ex Kinetic scout worked but eventually went to Watford and is now doing well for the U23 and chose the place of his birth to represent Germany u18 to score on his debut.
Kent has always been a recruiting ground for Cafc for players and fans ! South London and Essex also among our catchment area.

Have you had any dealings with kinetic or know much about them mate?

Roddy Jnr not been seen for a while either.
Could get a shot at the 1st team this side of Christmas if our defender injury curse continues
No it's not Harris O'Connor but he looks similar !

We have 3 CB missing in Inniss, Famewo and Lavelle.
Good to see Ralfi Hand and Charlie Barker involved.
