I heard he had offers from a number of clubs including at least 1 Championship side. I'd be surprised to see him sign his contract with us but hope i'm wrong as I reckon he's the best young player to come through the ranks in a long time.

I would be gutted if he goes with MM never giving him a run out when he could possibly have made us play off contenders. However, if it's a good windfall for the club with substantial add ons it may be for the best all round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I presume he will be the last of lads we will get anything for because the academy has closed? The rules on academy status are really unfair on every level. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusoe Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 Does anyone know what the compensation rules are at this level? I think EPPP rules only apply to FL clubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Atherton moves to an EFL club or possibly a Championship club it will be down to the potential suitors believe he holds not due to MM not playing him.

We will get a compo fee, but if MM bloodied a couple of them we’d get a much better fee. Which would benefit the club more. Also, It does annoy me that we never see our best youngsters play. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think young players would have flourished in last years teams? We saw I think one have a cameo and he looked lost and disappeared.

Maybe he should have had a number of sub appearances to get him used to it so he can judged properly. We wouldn’t give a first teamer 45 mins and bin him, so why do it with young lads who need support and can also make us some money. I don’t think they should be backed unconditionally, ultimately they need to be good enough. But judging Kofi off 45 mins, and before him Vaughan not playing as much as he should, is frustrating. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely agree. Especially towards the end of last season, when it was fairly obvious we were likely to miss out on the play offs. I know it's another universe, but Spain have no problems at all playing 16 year old Yamal at the Euros. If you're good enough......ultimately there's only one way to find out. It's always great for fans and players when local talent is given a chance and gets a run in the team. Results come first, of course, but at some point you have to give young players a chance. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
