Anyone in the know regarding the 2 Irish lads (Blaine McClure and Callum Burnside) both 16 who are in advance talks with us to sign.

Orgy. We r allegedly looking at them and another 6 at present, a number off b team are likely to be moved on, plus next batch ready for loan on loan.

Yes B Team players moved on yet again. Don't you think the manager should ask at the end of the season "what area's do we not need to spend money on! " We spend a fortune developing these players and regularly have nothing to show. We are always on a five year plan and start again three years into it!

I've seen the B Team and I was disappointed in the majority of them, frankly nowhere near good enough to step up in most cases. Outside of Lovelace and Yfeko, plus maybe two or three others, I don't expect to see any of that team in the first team reckoning any time soon.

Call me negative but I don’t think it matters how good the young ones are, they won’t get a chance anyway. Every other big club on the planet plays their youth and knows that they will develop quicker this way.

Any club that plays young players in the starting 11 they have got to be good enough, any other lads good enough for our first team?

Do the Bouncy, I'd settle for 1 player a year coming through from the b team.

Mark even one every 3 would be decent

But that's a reflection on how bad the development of. youth actually is we shouldn't be wasting fees on the youth team any more.

Mark that would be good 1 a year but think we got a few that will make our first team in a season or two.

Five from the 16 who played isn't bad granted, but considering I only mentioned two names and the rest were no better than "alright" it's probably pushing it a bit to say five!

I’d say Lowry and Devine are good enough.

The youth system is about developing our own players and making money by developing players for other teams. In the last few years it got 10m give or take for Patterson and has brought King, Devine and Lowry into the first team squad.
As well as this a number of players have been moved on and we have a sell on fee for them.
Some of these sell on fees are rumoured to be 50%.
This means if any are sold for a million we get 500k and we are not paying any wages out. It's a good model but ultimately we have to develop players and sell them on even if it's for small sums of money it all ads up.

So McCorie, King, Devine and Lowery and Arfield, Jack, McGaughlin and?

We should be playing at lease 2/ 3 youth players in the cup even if it’s just for the last 20/ 30mins.

Oh yes, remember the sell ons and add ons, good grief, wouldn't even keep the lights on
But I don't know how a club is run, silly me!
