Regan Poole

[mikey_d]

Can't see a thread yet...

Sounds like we're signing him.

17 years old centre back/ midfielder from my local team newport county.

Very highly thought of by the Welsh national team setup. Has been tracked by a number of top clubs for a few years now.


Fee reported as 100k rising to 400k

He has his own thread. Good stuff.

He has his own thread. Good stuff.

At least one welshman who is going to sign for utd has his own thread in the transfer section, unlike the 120 page thread we have going on the one who was never going to sign for us!

 

[rimaldo]

sounds like a stripper.

 

[Rolandofgilead]

Im assuming this lad is all potential at the moment and will play for the under 18s then the under 21s before being sold to Barnsley?

 

[Inigo Montoya]

Great stuff. Been waiting all day for the marquee signing

In all seriousness, it would appear that we are committed to developing local youth players but let's hope he doesn't end up on loan then forgotten

 

[Inigo Montoya]

You into male strippers? Each to his own

 

[Robbie Boy]

Does it rival the signing of Andy Kellett from last season?

 

[rimaldo]

more of a passing interest.

 

[Ole's_toe_poke]

Our Identity. Something. Losing. Something something.

Andy Kellett only ever made up the numbers. This kid probably has much more potential considering the fee.

 

[Ole's_toe_poke]

Do you prefer long balls or short ones.

 

[Sam]

Keep reading it at Regen Pool, and thinking its a thread about great FM regens.

I just visited Newport...

I had to google to find out his name, I'll be honest. That was odd.

shithole, isn't it?

 

[Cooksen]

Breaking records for 2 teenagers today.

Exciting

I would imagine u21's or loaned.Hes played some games at league 2 level at the ages of 16, just turned 17 and played 3 out of 5 games this year so if he stayed would be on course for a good number of games at that level, people I know have said that he is looking very comfortable at that level already and could step up very soon.

 

[rimaldo]

i prefer ones like romero's, the kind that put you in mortal danger.

For £400,000 you could have bought the whole of Newport

 

[mikey_d]

yes

That's some seriously high balls!

 

[pierrethesnack]

IS HE LEFT FOOTED?

 

[Sid234]

We had him on trial at the start of last season and I think he played a few games with the youth team as well. We've been tracking his progress for over a year now

Good news, I hope he is an absolute gem, knowing how much faith LVG likes to put in youth at times he will have the chance to progress and develop.

 

[.Rossi]

That's a girl's name. Must be shite.

Hate him

How much faith LVG puts in youth?
He's just sent out one of our best on loan, and didn't even put Wilson on the bench

 

[Hellboy]

Remember David Poole ?

 

[Stobzilla]

For £400,000 you could have bought the whole of Newport

Not if you include Llanhennock as part of Newport.

 

[a_devil_inside]

I just think of The Exorcist when I hear the name Regan

 

[Wednesday at Stoke]

Reminds me of Faye Regan

Don't google at work, NSFW

 

[0161_UNITED]

Was this ever made official?

 

[FromTheBench]

Was this ever made official?

It's probably done. We don't really announce domestic youth transfers.

 

[AbusementPark]

It's probably done. We don't really announce domestic youth transfers.

Yea seems he arrived at Carrington today for a medical so thinking its been done and dusted. Newport County website should reveal more if we don't say much about it.

Cheers!

The most middle-class sounding name we've ever signed. A far cry from your Gareth Barrys and your James Beatties

 

[MyOnlySolskjaer]

Proper Welsh name that.

 

[Keeps It tidy]

From League Two to the Champions League. I always like stories like this. I wonder if we get a look at him during the league cup.

 

[dannyrhinos89]

And.........We will never hear from again, will be lucky to get any matches even in the cup.
