Lol - too late he's already gone!

Chuff me, all three of them at Shudds? Typical.

Adam Gledhill is very similar in frame, maybe not quite the same as Jacob.

compared to Jacob, Adam has nowhere near the attitude from what i have seen.

Is Liam Goodaire still at the club? Maybe first year Academy now/last year scholarship, big things expected from him.

You know how it goes with young lads, Adams gone through all the growing up attitudes Jonh.

Don't know about Liam, can't say i know much about him.

True and they are only young and the best of luck to all of them, just when you questioned Jacobs attitude and mention Adam in my opinion Jacob has the better attitude of the 2. Still much can change over the next few years, but what i would say is that Jacob is much more mature than most of his peers.

Sincw when, he played last week for us

Played for England u/15 on Good Friday, i'm pretty sure he is still on scholarship with Wakey.

One of the problems for Wakey is they have the best players in the district on their scholership scheme but as soon as the they start getting near their 16th birthday's the likes of Leeds, Bradford etc start showing interest and most of the so called elite players from that age group leave to sign elsewhere. Wakey then have to bring in players to make up the numbers and the progression of the good players that are left is slowed down as the standard and environment their in is lower.

With Wakey getting a new ground and better facilties to run a first class academy this trend may shift and Wakey will start pushing to compete with Leeds in winning academy championships and rolling players through to the first team.

Lets hope so, but new facilities are not the be all and end all, we realy need to throw time and money at it and get it sorted The talent drain must stop.

Your right, Wakeys is not the most organised academy. Once they have the faciltites to coach and develop young players in a professional environment where they are looked after properly then the standard will improve.

Playing in a decent stadium with good training facilities is also a must when attracting young players to the club and being able to compete with Leeds etc and the club should put a lot of effort into the academy when the new stadium is built or else the loss of the best players to other clubs will continue.

That's what calls - even Shudds and Cas' have a pop at our players. So what we have to do is raise funds to try and compete - possibly even give it it's own brand name - maybe John Kear can get involved?

What? It's been done and it's called T-R-Y (Trinity's Rising Youth) Squadbuilder?????? Well flippin' 'eck - why didn't we think of that????

If these guys are that good - then why are so many people prepared to si back and allow them to leave - then just moan about it? I know times are tough - but there's plenty that could afford the fiver a month that was asked for!

We won't keep them all - but it would be nice to give John a fighting chance with them!
