Brian Kinnear - to West Ham

[The Barrel]

I'm way behind the curve...was he released due to the sheer number of good goalkeepers we have or was the Covid thing a definite factor? Joined West Ham after successful trial.

 

[Gameboy]

He was always leaving before the Covid incident.

I’m sure he was only kept on last year as back up as other where out on loan.

 

[Main Stand]

Interesting, I thought he was going to sign for Birmingham.

We are well stocked for keepers at the minute, I really like Kieran Wright but we have Hogarth and Cervantes who we signed too.

Best of luck to him.

West ham sniffing around a lot of youth players based in Scotland it seems.

Must be a very attractive club for a young player. Living it up in London with plenty cash in your pocket.

I know Bayern are constantly send scouts over to watch players.

I’ve noticed a big difference in players coming through since the older coaches/scouts have been replaced by younger guys.

Best wishes to the young man as a bubble-blower.

Good luck to the lad

What happened to the other youth goalie that played in the winning Alkass cup team

He had a foreign sounding name?

 

[MSF]

Does say something about our academy, and how its perceived in those circles, that most players we've released this summer have went to a good level.

Dickson - Burnley
Mebude - Watford
Kinnear - West Ham
NYC - Brentford
Hogarth - Nottingham Forrest

No development fees?

No development fees?

Don’t think so, as they were released.

Believe we need to offer them a contract, however surely the work around is to offer them a deal they’ll never sign.

Only get a fee if we offered them a new contract.

Needs to be on same or better terms for us to still get a development fee if they sign for someone else.

Budanauskis (sp?) is in the B team squad along with Hogarth and the US dude

 

[vinnie]

Good luck to him, but we have plenty coming through.

That would make sense, cheers mate.

Clubs down south can stockpile youth team players look at chelsea & City. We need to look at the players who can make the 1st team.
