Evidently not. Ron just had a brainfart after buying him.
This is the most pertinent example. I would be surprised to see it happen again.For those asking earlier -
Chris Smalling left Milwall's academy for Maidstone no ?
Then joined Fulham as a 19 year old.
Dwight Gayle. Would have thought there are a fair few more.This is the most pertinent example. I would be surprised to see it happen again.
Dwight Gayle is not United first team quality.Dwight Gayle. Would have thought there are a fair few more.
That's not the point, as you know.Dwight Gayle is not United first team quality.
It was my point. How many players drop from a Premier League academy to non league and then back to a Premier League academy to become a top player? It is assessing the worth of this signing for future first team prospects here. Chris Smalling was the only player mentioned to kind of fit that profile.That's not the point, as you know.
Not that its important but Smalling's case was different in the sense that it was family/educational commitments that saw him leave Millwall originally.For those asking earlier -

I think Ron basically decided that with Frank Stapleton, Mark Hughes and Norman Whiteside in front of him Beardsley wasn't going to play regularly.Evidently not. Ron just had a brainfart after buying him.
They watched a physically-gifted individual dominate over a short period of time at a level where his technical deficiencies look masterful in comparison with his peers.There must be something about him that made Scholes and Neville recommend him to us.. Maybe we'll see him improve and play better next season
playing for U21, very average player.....On the class of 92 show now, seems like a cool guy. What's happening with him?
Played ok for the U21s last game.I would still put 18 years old Tyler Reid ahead of him though.Would send him on loan on January as we have enough numbers (all younger players) to give game times to.On the class of 92 show now, seems like a cool guy. What's happening with him?
