New intake 08/09

PS18 · 2nd July 2008, 11:53

Still nothing confirmed by the club (as far as I've seen anyway), anyone got any ideas as to the make-up of the new intake of first years this season?

Petrucci, Brady, King and Reece Brown are definites, I'm assuming Conor Devlin and Nicky Ajose will be in as well.

Brazilian twins?

They will go to the reserves, not Academy. They are 18.

Surely Petrucci and Brady will be good enough for the reserves? King shouldn't be too far behind them.

How good is Conor Devlin?

There are enough player stuck in the reserves, plus Welbeck and Macheda. They might get a few games.
Uniteds policy is to use the academy players in the academy site at least while the team is in Fa Youth cup.
Even Ryan Giggs played there after making his debut.

I would expect King, Brady and Petrucci all to feature predominantly in the 18's.......

From what I have seen of Devlin he is just OK. I watched him play for Ireland Schools for two seasons and he was just an average keeper. Let's hope he has developed since then.

What about Scott Wooton?

I know he was given a short term contract until the end of last season to provide cover in our defence.

I do not know what has been agreed for the new term.

PS18 · 9th July 2008, 15:58

He seemed to disappear after playing three games in a row. A quick google reveals he played for Preston's academy on trial after that, so maybe we let him go early.

Whatabout that fella Boyes who played in that friendly tournament against Spurs, Hibs, Supersport?

Elliott · 9th July 2008, 20:04

Boyes did very well for himself it would seem, but no word yet. One player I'm very confident will be a part of the u18s next season is Jeremy Helan. Back in May his mother said it was a done deal and it's not uncommon for these signings to be completed silently.

samabachan · 10th July 2008, 00:40

Is Helan the France U17 captain?

Elliott · 10th July 2008, 10:10

That would be Darnel Situ. He might be coming as well. We made a bid for him around the time of the CL final, but he's not in the bag like Helan.

Danny Meehan · 10th July 2008, 14:00

What about that John Cofie boy. Will he be part of the U18's?

PS18 · 10th July 2008, 14:02

He's not old enough to get a scholarship this season, might feature occasionally if he's good enough though.

Anyone care to refresh my memory of this lad. I remember hearing he was of African/German parentage and could do 100metres in a ridiculously fast time?

Think he's eligible to play for England. A lot of teams were desperate to sign him, above all the dippers. Fast, big lad, doing well for the u16s supposedly. Think he's 15 now, I'm sure he'll get a few games for the u18s. He has a special relationship with a mouse and doesn't talk all that much.

maybe we could get him to do that healing thing on Gary Neville?

There was a Johnston playing against Burscough, is he part of the new intake? Was he in the U16s last year?

Devlin, King and Brown were also in the squad for Burscough so presumably they're certain to be new 1st year scholars.

Sam Johnston is our u-16 keeper!

WeWonItTwoTimes · 5th August 2008, 05:56

Any update?

Does the fact that Jackson, Wooton, Dean, Fryers, Tunnicliffe and Cooney played in the milk cup mean that they'll be 1st year academy scholars this season?

Also is Liam McClair still in the academy or has he left the club?

No!

Wooton is with u-18's and it's not known if he has been offered a further contract.

All the others are u-16's.

Liam was helping out in last years Milk Cup as we were short of players/ He did not feature in any other games and my understanding is that he is not a scholar.

Elliott · 5th August 2008, 11:40

They have Liam McClair's profile in the academy players section on the official website. But that's not saying much really.
