I wouldn't call it sad.Todds_right_hook said:@MillwallFan
2-0 and you f****d it up
Isn't it sad that our record is so poor against Millwall at first team level that we (I) have to pipe up after an u-23 game.
I'd call it brilliant!0 -

What are Kanu's stats this season? Seems to be scoring every game.1

As far as I can tell, he has scored 23 goals in total.CAFCsayer said:What are Kanu's stats this season? Seems to be scoring every game.
20 for the U18s (10 league, 6 Dev.League Cup and 4 FA Youth Cup)
2 for the U23s
1 for the U17s (Premier League Cup)
There are a couple of goalscorers unaccounted for, so he might have scored more.8 -
So pretty much a goal a game across 3 age groups. Get the kid signed up now on an extremely long contract. he is quite clearly a special talentPaddy Powell said:

Should be at champion hill more often. It's actually in London albeit very close to Millwallclive said:1 - Sponsored links:

Regarding Kanu, all we need to do is see how well Burstow has performed for the first team when given the chance. He’ll be starting his first league game on Saturday, 8 months after the U18 play-offs. There is some real talent amongst the younger players, all seemingly around a similar age right now too.
Kanu has scored in pretty much every game and has physicality about him to add. We need to tie him down before we lose him like we have other youngsters.He looks to be an exceptional talent and as we all know, goal scorers are what everyone is after and why they get paid the big bucks is because they are the difference. Sign him up and include him with the first team in pre-season to see how he does, he may flourish, or risk losing him completely and being another in years to come where we say if only we kept him.
To me, this is just as important as getting the recruitment for the first team right. It’s these things that show ambition just as much as anything else.19 -

The bar should be open at Champion Hill tonight (and you can see the pitch from the bar) so worth a trip for anyone at a loose end.1 -
Looking forward to this one now I have negotiated the pass with the MrsInspectorSands said:

Even more so really - We might not like it, but the way to get promoted whilst playing to the rules, is by producing kids, seeing them for a profit and then putting the rewards back into the current squad.Sage said:Regarding Kanu, all we need to do is see how well Burstow has performed for the first team when given the chance.

Roland screwed us over when we sold Gomez and Lookman, and then fucked up by not renewing Aribo's contract as he would most likely have gone the same way as the other two in terms of transfer fees, albeit slightly less.
Hopefully we dont have an owner now that'll just pocket the transfer fees for the former two, we CERTAINLY cant afford to have an owner who is going to dither, which'll constantly result in us losing our top talent for peanuts.1 -
Spoke to a dad of another academy boy and he seems to think Kanu has signed a pro deal, he has no reason to make up stories so should be good news11

Slightly unfair, in that if a club is making sizeable losses, someone or something has to cover them. And yes, much of that loss making was down to bad decisions by Roland, but not all. And we've continued to sell players under Thomas. Bonne, Dillon, Doughty and indeed Beadle, 3 of those being academy players. That's the way things are in L1ForeverAddickted said:

The Aribo situation was more annoying and avoidable, ditto Konsa.4 -

The Derby lad Courtney Clarke, who is now 18, I saw play for Whyteleafe in step 4 about 18 months ago, and he was a strong lad playing in men's football But I didn't pick him out as I couldn't see the skill set needed, so I was surprised when he got the contract with Derby County. A water carrier type midfielder who was compared to a young Patrick Viera when he was 16 !
Just watched the Clip and he was the Derby lad who made the mistake for Galvin's goal.
I hope he makes it as he's another Kinetic academy boy. Deji, Aribo, Maja, Norrington-Davies (Sheffield United) Omar Richards (Bayern Munich)0 -
