Why should Keane leave BurnleyWould be very disappointing for me if Keane (Michael) and Brady not moving club before the deadline.
Keane is already in the PL.Would be very disappointing for me if Keane (Michael) and Brady not moving club before the deadline.
I mean he can do a job for a better club than Burnley.Keane is already in the PL.
And to be honest, I wouldn't mind having Brady back as a squad player. He was immense for Ireland in the Euros and qualifiers.
Funny thing is I actually can see Rotherham going down and Bolton moving up next season.Tom Thorpe now at Bolton on loan for the season. Rotherham didn't seem to rate him at all. Sure he signed a 2 year deal so will be out of contract by end of loan.
Saidy Janko on loan at Barnsley. Surprising as seemed to be doing ok but for one poor match in CL.
Larnell Cole on loan at Inverness. Fulham not interested in playing him once Rene left. Vermijl moved to Preston on a 3 year deal.
Be interesting to see how Weir and Will Keane do at Hull. Similarly, McNair and Love at Sunderland.
Yeah, or that they weren't good enough to make it here. To think they were part of the fabric of this club in some form in amazing. The education they would have received must have benefited most of themIt's incredible how far once talented footballers can drop.
How did you categorize the players into seasons?Dean Santangelo never played for us.Yeah, or that they weren't good enough to make it here. To think they were part of the fabric of this club in some form in amazing. The education they would have received must have benefited most of them

Never heard of handful of those players...definitely didn't reach U/15-U/16 level.
I thought he looked promising when he first got to u18 level, bad attitude?Just noticed that Nicholas Ioannou is playing as a CM for Cyprus U21 vs TFM’s Holland this afternoon. Ioannou scored and got booked in the 1st half. Apparently he ”plays” for APOEL now in his home country. His third season there has just begun, he’s played 8 league matches during two years. Apart from 26 minutes last May, the last time he played club football was in September 2015.
Remember he was playing u18 football as a sort of mainstay, as a schoolboy. Played against Chelsea in the youth cup.I thought he looked promising when he first got to u18 level, bad attitude?
thought he was well rated at Molde under Ole..Etzaz Hussain has signed for Croatian 2nd division club NK Rudeš on a free transfer.
Happy to hear that. Didn’t know if anyone would care about a random ex-United academy player. I like how honest he was about his ability, the reasons he quit, his chances of breaking through etc. Also some nice insight into life inside the club for a young player.@top1whoisman great stuff. Just read teh article and Q&A session
Yeah I'm sure there's a bunch of us interested in youth football who enjoy reading that kind of stuff. Interesting perspective - most footballers think they were unlucky etc but he was just honest that he wasn't good enough for United. Smart chap.Happy to hear that.

Yeah. I met him in 2005, and I thought he was an arrogant bastard (he was 18 at the time, we’re all idiots at that age), but now that I’ve talked to him, I was impressed with his honesty. Of course he’s not in the public eye anymore, so there’s no reason to protect yourself but still a lot of people would go behind injuries etc.Yeah I'm sure there's a bunch of us interested in youth football who enjoy reading that kind of stuff.

Great interview, excellent questions. Some great insight into the pressures of becoming a professional player. He might not have been the greatest player in our academy but he was at the club at a very special time.Happy to hear that. Didn’t know if anyone would care about a random ex-United academy player.

Cheers. That’s true. It must be nice to have made friends with a lot of great players, to have played with Ronaldo etc. I think what most that follow our academy closely remember him of are his penalties.Great interview, excellent questions.

Not at all...he had lot's of injuries and the staff felt he might not make it so didn't offer him a pro contract. He was also keen to return home too.I thought he looked promising when he first got to u18 level, bad attitude?
