    Should have been a 10 year deal with a 5 year option.

    This is great news. Said on here before that at end of last year I was teaching a lad from the academy and he said that despite how good Leaburn, Kanu and a few others were, Josh was the best player in the academy. Hopefully he’s fully shaken off the bad injury and can kick on this season. Just Kone left now. 🙌🏼🤞🏼

    I have not seen him over a sustained period, but what little I have seen has been impressive.

    His name is Josh and he's here to play
    So we'd better get used to how to say
    And spell his surname. Starts LA
    That's the Lakers, the Angels, the Rams. Okay,
    We move to Q. With a U, you say?
    No U. Yes, you! No U today,
    It goes QE RETA
    What's R ETA? No way,
    We should have been here yesterday!
    We end with BU and an A,
    Like you're giving him a boo but then hooray,
    So that's how you can spell and say
    Josh La-qe-re-ta-bu-a!

    Mart77 mentioned Ahmed Kone well he has gone to Qatar on a 5 year deal. Good promising goalkeeper departed.

    Disappointing if true and think he’ll have a decent career. I guess money talked. I do think this highlights what we’ve been competing with as several of our lads were highly desired by some top clubs. Props to those who managed to convince so many to sign up with us.

    That’s a shame but we’ve done well to get most of the others signed up. Believe that only leaves Kedwell and Myers - I don’t think they’re seen as the top prospects in their age group?

    High praise but, tbh, I think it's true.  He is an outstanding defender for his age.

    Superb to hear.  The club really has done well to sign up so many of our kids over the last couple of summers.

    Shame if Kone has gone, very strange move for a kid of that ahe to go to Qatar but I guess the money would have been decent.
