What's the betting that Barry Fry has this player down as a multi million pound player in 12 - 18 months.
They always seem to dip into non league and find a gem or two, wouldn't hurt for us also to be looking there.

Brin may I recommend a read of the blog below plenty of suggestions here including some non league "gems" our new Assistant Manager should have a good insight on how Posh do it.Quote:

Thanks for that. I seem to recall you starting your blog off a couple of weeks ago and I've failed to follow it, my bad.Quote:

As a club and where we are financially, I for one don't think it's a bad idea to try bringing the non league players in, utilising somewhere in the side with a couple of mature players to create the balance. It's not expensive and there are younger better players just waiting to burst through the ranks.
What with Taylor and Evans and the way they just simply threw money at some older heads, look how that all turned out!
Let Hamshaw develop younger, eager players and hopefully create a scenario where we as a club could sell them on in the future, thus providing adequate funding to sustain our club on a more sound more financial footing.
It will never happen Brin,T/S wants it now.Quote:

The gems are in the non league, early twenties some are late developers, some are players who did not thrive in the Academy systems, some who have grown in physique trust me they are there.
I grew up with scouting and the non league game I was brought up by my Uncle he was a well known scout for Celtic and Forest and we went everywhere watching games and in those days there were loads of scouts at games today in the non league there are hardly any doing the hard yards. It's all youth football focused for scouts. Beyond that it's video analysis.
