Having no team between the first team and youth team is the biggest obstacle in keeping our best prospects. Why would Gardner sign a professional contract if he had a lot of interest from other clubs. Makes no sense, unless he can’t wait to go on loan to Grimsby Boro

This is why I find the academy system so bloody frustrating. As soon as you get a decent prospect the big guys just come and gobble them up for pretty small fees before they even get chance to sit on the first team bench!

If the football is bad you can always watch the gulls.

Why would he not sign his pro ?? Just because clubs are watching him doesn’t me he definitely going to be bought, he could get injured next week.

Because there is no pathway to the first team and he’d get paid more higher up the pyramid. Are these clubs telling you that they’re interested but won’t commit then?

Good thing Cameron Gardner signed a 3 year pro deal then isn’t it 😄


Contract means nothing apart from Grimsby can ask for a bit more money. Which big clubs won’t be bothered about and will pay as there’s a limit as classed as compensation as product of academy, even though he only signed at scholar as from Newcastle.

Interest is just that. Clubs will watch a player numerous times and still might not end up making an offer. All I said is there is interest in Cam and Alfie as a few clubs have been watching them several times this season one club watched both of them 5-6 times I’ve been told. Doesn’t mean an offer is imminent.
There’s been talk apparently for a few years about U21s but I think they prefer sending lads out to play non league as playing against men which is better than playing U21 which a lot of our youth could easily do now.
