IT'S SUPER EFFECTIVE!
This should be quite interesting. Being started by our Director of Sport. He's been one of the most impressive people I've ever seen at the club and is a massive encourager of youth development. I think the idea's great - it'll give the kids a broader experience of different footballing styles whilst at a formative age

Would have thought we'd be first on that list! Come on wenger!I hope the lack of Arsenal transfer news is because Europe is still closed, apart from Gervinho we don't sound like signing anyone at the moment.

We can end this argument now by all agreeing that Liverpool's new academy is the best!
Flooding the lower age international teams, about 50% come from our academy now..
Okay, so the team's still crap, but we'r the cream of the crap
Newcastle clearly has the best academy! We've produced Taylor and Carroll!
Please get a midfielder sorted Manu
They still in for Sneijder? Snei and Modric would make a fairly potent combo. I do rate Fletcher however, not Carrick though.
Well Leeds won't be joining the ranks of the Prem any time soon.
I reckon Snoddy will go, for a good price, but he's too important for us. Casper has gone for a song and we've brought in Rachubka :/
At least it appears the Smith deal has broken down.

Sorry, but that is a bit rich coming from you.....
I never said we had a great youth setup, i said we had one of the better ones. We are one of the better ones IMO, not many Premier League clubs have 'produced' the same amount or more premier league players.
Regardless of their age that they joined they all played for the youth teams and were played in the first team. So they count as an academy graduate?
It doesn't matter if they are not great players or good in your opinion. The fact is that they all were brought through the academy at some stage and now play in the Premier League.
I don't even know why i am debating this in here as it is completely off topic. So this is the end.
I don't reckon snoddy will go tbh, losing Kasper sucks though I reckon Rachubka may only be our backup keeper and we will sign somebody else for the #1 jersey.
Smith would have been nice but we can't afford the wages he wants even if Newcastle do pay half.
I dreamed I got a call from my history teacher from school who was asking me about a Japanese class I took in university, and about collecting used clothes to give to charity.
I interpret this as we'll sign Ryota Moriwaki and make Bebe head coach of the youth team.

Carson signed for bursaspor for 2m apparently, wonder who they will get to replace him, maybe Kuzchak?

That U19s CL is a great idea.
Biz.Kid uses Hydro pump...
Surely Kuszcak has to go this year? As a 3rd choice goalkeeper your playing prospects can't be fantastic?
I'd say that's a very real possibility. God riddance to bad rubbish IMO
PIG even made me feel nervous during Red Nev's testimonial
De Gea and Lindeagaard next season and we're set!

I think PIG has done well for the club, it's hard to keep a good quality 2nd/3rd choice keeper and he has fulfilled that well. Came in when VDS was injured the season before last and played well. How many other clubs can say they've had 2nd/3rd choice keepers as good as Foster/PIG and Lindegaard/PIG?
