Surely for once we can persuade one of our young talents to see his immediate future with us?

Think we did so with King, Lowry and McCann. No?

People keep mentioning Bassey. He wasn't a 16 yr old signing his 1st deal.

Different scenario.

 

[garytcrsc]

Neither would Bassey or Aribo then?

I'm not sure what your point is, but you are correct, they wouldn't be examples of players that came through our youth system and got a chance with the first team.

Likewise, people are mentioning McCann. He was 19 when we signed him ffs!

It was just about who gets credit for their development.
If we’re going to deny the club credit for developing the likes of McCann can we give them credit for Bassey and Aribo?

Why is Ten Hags name in the article? I doubt ten Hag even knows who this kid is let alone sent the scouts up to watch him. He'll be wanting scouts fired out to find first teamers.

It'll be the Man Utd head of youth recruitment dealing with all this like they do with the others unless it is a very special case.

Oh okay. I was more referring to players that came through the youth system.

They’d get that at Rangers.

They’re getting 1m a year from the EPL.

A 16 year old. Surely not ?

I work with someone who's nephew has recently signed for Liverpool. He is on 12K PW
