YassinMoutaouakil Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 I'm not saying this outweighs the negatives but to play devil's advocate, I suppose that we'll probably end up missing out on a few decent players, but bigger clubs hoovering up any young player in the off chance they strike gold has probably made us few hundred grand on boys that would never have made it at us anyway-Ben Hall, Hastie, Robbie Leitch etc. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marinello Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 Regarding Cadden . Anybody know if we are still pursuing Columbus Crew/ USA FA for monies ( believed)owed to the club or is it a lost cause? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I had a feeling he was maybe playing Juniors but I'd found an interview with him where he was talking about Turnbull and he said that after he'd left Motherwell he'd taken a year out of football and his TransferMarkt shows no club so left it as n/a. https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/dylan-falconer/profil/spieler/321406 Quote “I was a bit fed up with football and took a year out after Motherwell, working as a grass-cutter. But I’m looking to try and get another club next season." Link - it's The Sun so f**k linking to them 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thisGRAEME Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 The flipside of bodies disappearing out of our academy before they've come close to our first team is that some will certainly stick around on the basis that they'll get proper first team football with us. Depend what you view as more valuable to you as a player. Some we'll lose, some we'll win, same as everything else I guess. 37 minutes ago, Desp said: One less than the % of his sell-on we're due when he finally makes it! The disappointment when Desp realises it probably didn't carry over to the Pars will be incredible. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busta Nut Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 I think DT has found his level. Bottom Champ/League 1. Probably kick about there for a decade. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welldaft Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 I was kinda in the huff when I asked the Q around youth Academy. It has clearly yielded players and cash benefits to the club these past 5 or so years. If Rice is to leave we would hope he goes to a Premiership side. I am sure I read Celtic were in line for £600k compensation for Doakes. That I could almost live with. If he chose to go to Rangers I would be a bit more p1ssed. I assume we would get less £££. All that said hopefully he continues his upwards momentum and signs a new contract with Motherwell. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Brightside Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 I don't have much to add, other than Chris Cadden is a fucking rat. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capt_oats Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 Doing a bit of digging and according to the blog that covers Rangers youth teams we're 4th in the u18s league and we beat them 3-1 last month. https://rfcyouths.wordpress.com/under-18-league-2021-22/ There's a match report on Aberdeen's official site from a game we won 5-3 that gives a team line and it's interesting to see who was playing vs who's listed on our official site https://www.motherwellfc.co.uk/squad/reserves/. https://www.afc.co.uk/report_nostats/report-motherwell-u18s-v-aberdeen-u18s/ There's also a report from the more recent game we won 3-0. https://www.afc.co.uk/report_nostats/u18s-young-dons-beaten-by-well/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
