HoylandOwl Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 17 hours ago, Snap said: Don't doubt it mate, there was just the usual rumours floating around with Joao and Dwight Gayle, hopefully we won't get the other one in either, just rather go with what we have than either of those 2. Strange thing with Gayle though, him leaving Stoke like that I'd have thought he had something lined up. Now you can tell me he has.😀 Not got a clue if he has. I hope it's not with us though. A spent 'force' if you ask me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tylluan Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 We've picked up Gabriel Otegbayo on trial after his release from Burnley. 19 year old Irish centre half. 6' 4" but very fast and comfortable with the ball at his feet. Played twice for the 21s and will be signed as a 21 if successful. Burnley picked him up from Cobh Ramblers but, interestingly, they picked him up from a coaching company that works 1 on 1 with players. He's not the product of a recognised youth system but rather individualised 1-1 coaching, a bit like a tennis player or athlete. His first taste of group football was Cobh u15s. There's quite a few of these type of coaching groups springing up now within the youth system. It's a South American model without the 3rd party ownership. The coach signs the kid, gets paid for the coaching, then also gets paid by any club he 'recommends' them to. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What has Schulz been found guilty of? Don't get me wrong I have no time and zero respect for any bloke that treats his partner in that sort of way. If he had been found guilty in a court then no way should he be recruited until the sentence is served and remorse shown. The hardest aspect is where there is a lot of conjecture, is paying her off in some way evidence more of controlling behaviour on their part. Sadly domestic abuse is under reported and under charged as much through intimidation, fear etc. For me Wednesday get enough bad media coverage on everything, to then open yourself up to more. No player is that good to warrant risking that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
