the academt isnt there to produc only players of our level..its there ti prodyc players at all levels, if we can say to kids, look embleton couldnt get into the sunderland team ahead of aiden mcgeady, but he made it as a pro, that boosts the image of the lcub..now what level of offer do you make someone who is the fourth best prospect qwe have, but has little chance of dislodging the player in the first team in his position? he is good enough for league two? excellent..

Why would you bin a 19 year old, who has so far played at every level for England, because a 32 year old player with full international and champions league experience is keeping him out of the side?

i dont want to bin him..i just think people are over estimating his value based on he won a bit of a trophy in league two..the club have opffered him acontract..i doubt he will get a better offer than a league one club pushing for promotion.;.

I know, I thought I was missing something there like

Its the exact opposite of what we should do. I just hope the owners aren't thinking that way, thinking too short term as in his wage isn't worth it as he isn't in the XI

I have no evidence they are like, I just hope this is not the thinking, I get self-sufficiency but you have to have a long term view of things, keeping our best prospects is absolutely vital for the future of the club and its why we hired Jack Ross.

yes so it has been good for him..we arent a charity..has it been good for us?

I don't think I've seen anyone over value him. Just people who don't want him to be binned at the end of the season.

bot no one is suggesting that..the club have offered him a contract..but people are acting like we should do a maja and offer him what he wants..

I'd argue yes... He's waded in with a decent amount of goals, why? What you saying, that he's been shite since he landed?

the owners have offered him acontract...the club arent trying to be self suffient this year or next year..what problem fdo you have? they have ofered him a contract...my point is, he just might not be that good, he is outr third best prospect and the height of his career is his work at grimsby..

He is 19 man ffs, can't believe what I am reading man. :lol:

I told you my problem, don't want our best prospects leaving, no evidence to say he will like, he is just as likely to stay

Presumably that depends on how much he wants? If he wants 50k p/w I wouldn't imagine anyone saying that.

Not really, they decided to loan out Embleton to get regular game time. He has played a lot more football than Mumba like.

Not sure why you are trying to belittle him like, very strange.
