Apparently Grist was £250k, which passes all the risk onto Leicester. If we could sell 2-3 of the youth squad for similar amounts, maybe with sell ons as well, then surely that’s the best option? Otherwise, I think they get lost between the youth team and the first team
Agree with this; incidentally I think there are add ons with Ben's deal. What's the old saying? ' you can't miss what you haven't got' ? If we get decent money for players who haven't even appeared for the first team, we'd be stupid to turn it down. And what we do have on our side is the vast amount of experience we have in the club viz-a-vis Academies, youth development etc. in Artell, Jennings & Woods, so I'd be amazed if anyone didn't trust their judgement. Just on a slightly different tack, I heard that the under 16s are a pretty talented bunch as well. Can you confirm Wybers, or any other youth-watchers on here? |

There is one player in the U16’s that will make it . He’s a special player and head and shoulders above any player I’ve seen at that age . |

Wasn't £10k for Ben Grist!
Yep it was, I meant £100-200k. I still find it quite sad that some would rather these lads never kick a ball for the first team and just cash in, rather than see them play for town. Makes you wonder if that’s the actual point of the youth team as opposed to being a source of talent for the first team. |

There are benefits for the community like coaching and facilities for the youngsters 🙂 |

Where did Gardner come from anyway? Understand he’s from the north east but seem to remember it being mentioned we signed him from a team in the north west - was it Morecambe?
He came from Gateshead, this team is mostly made up of players we've took from other sides with a sprinkling of local talent. Harvey Cribb has already played 15 games in L2 and is one of the most promising players we have. I'm lead to believe a few of these lads have deals on the table meaning that any fee we recieve would be substantial and obviously Cameron Gardner has already signed a 3 year deal. |

What do you mean by ‘deals on the table’? Are there youth players refusing to sign them? |

No refusal, but obviously there's a lot of interest in certain players from clubs. Could be waiting to see how it plays out but most of the players are also first years. |
