Do not wait for any news on the OS, when May was signed we were told by Cawley and others long before it was made official1

It's images like that, that make me feel really old and tired!
Can't imagine Johnny Bumstead being chauffered out of Sparrows Lane in his agents Ford Grenada Scorpio, giving it large with hand signals while a passer-by takes a chance snap from his Polaroid 600 and sends it into the Kentish Mercury for next weeks edition...

Not saying as a regular or anything - if Leaburn and JRS can do it as a couple of teenagers in their first season then why not?
Bowyer was a first team star for us at 18. Parker wasn't.
If we were still Prem and a lad like Casey came around scoring for fun in u21 competition - wouldn't we be looking for a league 1 or 2 club to loan him out to this season?
I dunno... i'm just asking the question.
Rooney was a "man" at 17, probably in the best 5 players in the world at 20. Kane couldn't get in the Leicester team at 20.
Troy Parrot, who could be an example for the second paragraph didn't really set the world alight when Spurs loaned him out to league 1 clubs. He might still come good though.
Cesc Fàbregas was a first team regular at Arsenal when he was 17, he didn't have the obvious physical advantage Rooney had.
Bowyer and Shevley were at about 80% of the player they would become when they were 18 or 19, Parker was about 60%.
There is a good interview with Nick Powell going round at the moment. At 17-18 he had the world at his feet, at 30 he has just signed for Stockport.
There is Adrian Dohertyhttps://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2014/nov/15/adrian-doherty-manchester-united-class-of-92
It's not an exact science, Bojan, is another one. Actually a lot of these played for Stoke so it's probably @bobmunro fault!
In short, if a player has done well in u18/u21 football there is no guarantee that they will "make it" and because some players are ready at 17/18 doesn't mean everyone will be. Unless your playing at 3 or 4 levels below your "natural" level most players aren't ready as teenagers. The ones that are are special.
Agree it's not an exact science.
Ask different pro coaches about when are youngsters ready for the first team and you get different answers.
I Saw Paul Walsh score a hat trick against Chelsea 44 years ago at Sparrows lane in a youth match,when he was small but so confident.
He was 16 I believe. Paul was fast tracked into the team.
I'm not giving up on Kanu yet to make his mark in League 1 this season but best if he makes steady progress rather that Mason Burstow progress when they are sold in a blink of the eye.
Miles Leaburn's injury may complicate issues but we build around Alfie May and see he is used in and around the box.

Thanks all for the update on Private Jones....thought I'd lost the plot which at my age is not new.0

Not a bad basis of a team… this doesn’t include lads like Kanu, Campbell, Chin or Anderson either.
Looking at the below, I think we could do with one more centre back, two wing backs and a striker. Kirk and Jaiyesimi are the square pegs that will need to be shifted if they want to play football.

Less expensive to get your barnet done.

Still need another box to box midfielder. Games are won and lost in midfield.6
