Who are the other prospects???Sell Jobe and Clarke and on top of our otherwise smart recruitment that should be enough ( reinvested right) to almost assure a top two spot next season and thus retain the other prospects . Shame we cant keep them all but one or two have to be cashed to do the job
Rigg? Ekwah? Ballard? Ba? Cirkin? Neil? Patterson?Who are the other prospects???
I'm not sure any of them have the potential monetary value of Clarke and Jobe.Rigg? Ekwah? Ballard? Ba? Cirkin? Neil? Patterson?
said to me marras when he signed that I'd be surprised if he was here more than 12 months
huge talent
No they dont, but they have the prospect of being fully functional long term players for us in the premier league, which we may lose due to personal ambition if we tarry too long over a no sales build in the championshipI'm not sure any of them have the potential monetary value of Clarke and Jobe.
What's the lottery numbers going to be this week ?He won’t play for Real Madrid
Possibly not but ya never know.He won’t play for Real Madrid
Aye, I see where you're coming from.No they dont, but they have the prospect of being fully functional long term players for us in the premier league, which we may lose due to personal ambition if we tarry too long over a no sales build in the championship
Mental when you think about itPossibly not but ya never know.
When discussing whether Jobe can follow in Jude's footsteps however, it might be worth noting that by the time Jude was Jobe's age, he'd played 40 odd games for Borussia Dortmund and had ten England caps.
Aye, I see where you're coming from.
I like the lads you mention, I just how much more of a prospect some of them are. Ballard for example can't be far of the finished article now. That's not to say he couldn't step up to the Prem.
I worry about our promotion aspirations without a player of Clarkey's calibre though. I'm more or less resolved to losing him in the summer (I'll be gutted if he leaves in Jan) if we don't go up.
Promotion needs to happen this season really, but I'm not convinced it will.
Jude? Just a bit.Mental when you think about it
He's insanely good at his age. We big up Dan Niel fand co for playing so many games aged 21 but that lad is a different level and delivering as a the main man most weeks. Not just fitting in with them.Jude? Just a bit.
I think it will be next season . In summer we will sell a couple of high value who were never going to stay and then start to buy the extra quality on the basis we're going up come with us and what we have are stayingPossibly not but ya never know.

yeah.... no.Said since we signed him he would get a big money move on name value alone
That sort of thing I think that provides a stark reminder of where our lads are really. People on here get very excited about the likes of Dan Neil, and yes 21 is still young, but you have to remember the level some other players were at by that age. Neil is 22 in a couple of months. By the time Hendo was 22 he's won the League Cup in his first season with Liverpool, he'd been an FA Cup finalist, was Liverpool's Young Player of the Year, and was called up to the Euros for England, having received his first cap two years prior whilst still playing for us.He's insanely good at his age.

Jobe got a lot of protentional and you can see he is a good character and wants to learn. The world is his oyster as they say
I didn't mean that as a dig out at our lads. I meant to show the difference to a totally exceptional world class player like Jude that are very very rare.That sort of thing I think that provides a stark reminder of where our lads are really.

I mean to be fair, I love Jack Clarke, but the lad's 23. He got his big move years ago and somewhere along the line it's gone tits up. So he's had to start again with us, which is credit to the lad really. But you think about some of the top players in his position, and they were already top players at the top level by his age. I suppose a notable exception would be Jack Grealish, who stuck it out with Villa in the Championship for a few years. I've not always been Grealish's biggest fan, but you can deny the lad's put the graft in.
I wouldn't be surprised to see Ballard go if someone wanted him like.I think it will be next season . In summer we will sell a couple of high value who were never going to stay and then start to buy the extra quality on the basis we're going up come with us and what we have are staying
Fwiw i think Ballard , Ekwah and Neil would all fetch £15m minimums in due course , maybe Patto too, then theres Aouchiche but i think theyll all be willing to wait a year .
I kna, I'm just saying. We've a young squad and people get carried away. But a lot of good players have already hit a certain level by their early 20s. Some break through at that level and never drop. And it's not just the exceptional 'world class' players either. Mark Noble was playing Premier League football for West Ham when he was 20. So when people say Dan Neil is gonna be a (top) Premier League player, a lot of other players already were by his age. It's a sobering thought. The likelihood is he won't achieve what Henderson has, yet you get people on here saying Dan Neil is our best ever Academy product. He isn't.I didn't mean that as a dig out at our lads. I meant to show the difference to a totally exceptional world class player like Jude that are very very rare.
if we can keep him until the end of next season and move him for 25 million plus that'd represent good business
