Don't know whether he'll make it or not as I've never seen him play above his level but he has pace & scores goals so certainly should have been tried. I expected us to at least give him a crack pre season before making any decisions on his future.
Don't understand this at all.

I'm with Ted on this. Suprised and somewhat shocked. Granted, I haven't seen him myself but reserves and Academy blogger seemed to rate him and everyone I know who attends reserve and youth team games seemed to rate him.
Not saying we let next Pele go but I believe he had shown enough promise to be considered as legit prospect.
I find it weird that we let him go without a fight, yet seem to be keen to give chances to likes of Clayton. Sure, we shouldn't force anyone to stay if they don't want to but.... Dare I say that he wouldn't have left if Cassell was still Academy director. Ok, that's just guessing now.
Oh, and only way this would really make sense is if we put buy back clause to the contract.
