Quote: Bull Mania "5?
Jacob Trueman, Sam Burgess, John Bateman all made their debuts in their first year as an academy player at 17. Not saying Scott will do that but there's no way he still wont have made his debut at 20. If we sign him and other clubs want him, then they will have to pay for him.
I'd rather we sign Scott than yet another SL reject, play him for 4 games, then realise he's not good enough and ship him out on loan to Dewsbury while we still pay him a wage.'"
I've met the kid and without wanting to big him up too much, I'd say he is definitely capable of playing first team at 17, so in the next 12-18 months. Has made just as much impact as Bateman at amateur level. I refuse to compare him to Burgess though because that guy is different gravy!
