Another youngster heading off


How come this million pound rated 14 year old has never been mentioned on here previously? Surely someone should have been singing his praises and reporting on his progress etc.
 
Unfortunately premier league clubs picking up our best youngsters will keep on happening until when/if we get ourselves sorted out. I love SAFC but if my son at 14 gets offered a contract at Liverpool, Man UTD, Arsenal like has happened with some, even Leeds and Everton, then it would have to be tempting. You'd always wonder what if tbh. We are league 1 and if it didn't work out then the boy could likely get another chance at a league 1 club. Would take a very brave or pretty naive person to just say no at that age.

I see your point but Dan Neil with 30 odd first team games is way ahead of most of the ones who left and have barely made a first team appearance at currently higher ranked clubs. It’s a difficult one.
