The lad Davies would be better staying away from Chelsea, Liverpool, Man U and go places like Leicester, Arsenal and teams like Southampton where he might get more success but will still end up playing kids football to mid 20's. Where at Wrexham he would get more chances at men's football.
Players move to early Ryan Crowther captained Stockport at 17 back in 2006 signed for Liverpool his career went no where and even did time in prison.
Jordon Ibe had a great start at Wycombe signed for Liverpool, then Bournemouth now out of football for now suffering with depression at 25.
So young players have to be careful signing for big teams, but some parents, agents give the player bad advice.

Maybe it has something to do with them being based in Wales and classed as foreign.
Players out of contract in the summer like Sousa can officially talk to clubs in Scotland from January but can't talk to English clubs until much later in the season.
This is the exact reason.

I reckon any youth player poached from lower league clubs should have a 20% sell on automatically added. It wouldn’t hurt the Prem clubs but it would make a hell of a difference to the likes of us

Do we have anymore Ben grists or Harry cliftons in the youth team or younger that could earn us some money?

Louis Boyd was wantaways golden boy ( no disrespect to Louis) but we haven't heard or seen much of him since.

Sounds daft, but scoring that goal probably didn’t do Louis Boyd any favours. Suddenly he’s the next big thing, adding a lot of pressure to the lad. Hopefully, he’ll come again

It must be hard to go from being a record breaker at 15 and training with the first team to not even heard of anymore. Essel, Adlard and Braithwaite all played in pre-season. I appreciate they are all older than Boyd but Boyd was ahead of them this time last year. Boyd is 17 today too. I know that because he shares the same birthday as me! Runaway could have potentially done a lot of mental damage with his antics last season. I hope not because it would be such a shame for a local boy who put himself in the record books to just disappear.

I would always take a decent offer for players such as Barlow, Grist and Burrell and let them go if their heads, reasonably enough, are turned. It is actually quite rare for those "gems" at a certain age to fulfil their potential as the development into men's football is fraught with danger especially when you have countless young players as good or better than you as competition!
Those who stay with us, deemed not good enough by the Premier League clubs because they are later developers, say like Harry Clifton and Max Wright etc. then go on to play for the Mariners and then develop into good players in their own right, with the chance of a transfer fee in future if they continue to improve so that is a win win situation.
