I hope we get to see him this season if he carries on as he is then we'll be lucky to have him till Jan,it's the pyramid system all over again and we forget we're somewhere in the middle we've picked up 4 players this summer who were arguably their clubs best players their fans were probably livid with what we paid for them,but we say it's good business for us,well that's what the big clubs fans will say when they take brooksy from us (cos it will happen) but let's not get all precious about him he's not really a product of our academy like ramsdale he came in to the system late all we have done is encourage what was there this last couple of yrs,to me the kyles harry and jags are products of our system,but it's given us a reputation so when these kids are released from the bigger clubs we are an attractive option to improve their careers like with the lad just snapped up from manure

Long may it continue,failing academy ?

Apparently, CW said this last night (not sure it's his exact words):

"Brooks did what's expected, up to him if he makes first team. If he thinks he's made it he hasn't"


That's the way to keep him grounded

Jags&Tongey were released by prem clubs also weren't they? Of course you're correct if BROOKSY does the business he'll be off,if he doesn't then the usual suspects will slam the club for not cashin in nar or claim those that have hailed the lads talent(like thee and me) know chuff all.I hope he starts on Friday but it'll be interestin to see if he gets some game time v Stoke and if he does how he performs and if he does perform well how long before Hughesy slaps a bid in for him.UTCB

They were rod but they were released at a younger age weren't they and spent longer in our academy,that's how I remember it anyway which actually isn't any guarantee of what actually happened

The policy of giving lads released by other Academies a 2nd chance is paying off,Ramsdale,Brooks and Whiteman all given a chance by us,all blossoming under our Academy
