Not yet, but it will be in the media if anything comes of it with us or another English club. If not I guess he will return home to pursue his career there and out of interest I'll keep tabs on him to see if he does indeed make the international team.

Some typical mazy dribbles from the boy too I think many would like to see from a forward at BP. I must congratulate Macclesfield on the excellent camera work too. Harry Vaughan could do that in that league Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure Harry can at this present time, he might one day though. I've seen players in Sunday league go on to star in the Championship, like Lee Trundle, Tony Ellis and Tony Naylor so I trust my experience and judgement to make comparisons and IMO Berry can go at least that high. Time will tell. Edited December 8, 2022 by BP1960 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don’t often hear of many steps up from that league into the EFL, is there any reason behind that ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is talent, had good reports on a lad there now and hope to see him soon.

It’s a league my friends and I follow closely (more so them). They seem to think there are a fair few players that could play at this level.

BP1960 Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 I've recommended we check out a young tough, skilful ball winning midfielder at a Championship club who isn't yet in their first team plans. Hoping to have him looked at in the next couple of weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BP1960 Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 After recommendations from posters on this board I took a look at FC United's 25 goal centre forward Regan Linney today. A big strong lad he's certainly a handful, very quick and never gave up pressurising defenders. Bit of a short fuse at times though. in conclusion I actually prefer him to our recent striker signings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would of offered more today for sure and generally plays upfront alone for FC, think someone will take a punt on him soon enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was in Utds academy until age 7 or 8, then Bury I think. Not sure about after that but he's a nice lad and I'm surprised he wasn't picked up by Latics. Although under the previous regime we probably missed a few. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BP1960 Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 Sometimes I get tip offs from other scouts and just passed on one to the club about a young striker in the Northern Premier League who's currently on loan from a league division 1 club. BTW the powerhouse Welsh club right back scored his 12th goal in 19 games last week. The 2 available EPL u21s midfielders again both impressed. We first need to reduce the playing staff though, which is a frustration when recommending players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
