Another youngster heading off


Not sure where this story has came from. Also not the first story from this age group either from Nixon. Shite timing too.
Not sure mate, however if the academy lads speak about it then I suppose it's not hard to get out of thr camp is it. Only takes one person to talk to the wrong person and then it gets reported in the media

Very, very much doubt its the academy lads or family. Bit been posted nationally from SM sites... Might be 2+2 together... Previous story was a pure mystery but only a small story... Same Nixon. Someone is tipping him off.
 
Well if playing for your country at the highest youth level and playing premier football and captaining the youth side of one of the biggest clubs in the world from a bunch of lads ages about 16 to 20 is nothing then yeah they have done nothing.

Plenty of players who play at the highest level of youth football, or captain those sides, don't always go on to have stellar professional careers.
 
Youth development has to be the absolute ideal scenario for the club. It's arguably the only way to be able to compete at the top level these days.

Worryingly, Newcastle being half decent could knack our recruitment of the kids. At least we are known for the better pathway currently.
.....or serve as a very useful source of talent for the majority who won't make it through their system.
There's a lot of unnecessary worrying over a promising 14 year here.
Find us the next KP.

Here we go, daft lad Tom on to spout his shit. You seem to personally want to see those lads fail, Greenwood is playing PL football, Mumba has played PL football and is currently playing at a higher level than us.
 
You seem absolutely desperate for those young lads to fail just so you can tell everyone you were right.
Shame on you man.

Not at all, as I've said before if you read carefully. I'm not convinced many, if any, of them have the quality to succeed at the higher levels. I was surprised to see Sam Greenwood's recent good performances at that level, and I can admit that and I'm happy to hold my hands if I'm wrong. Would many of the Bali Mumba cult who have harassed me for a while do the same? Coburn's another excellent prospect, and one that often gets overlooked in these conversations. I have a balanced view.
