A mate of mine who is a football agent has just rang me up and asked me if I know anything about this kid, apparently he plays for Stoke under 16's team and might even be captain? Can't say I follow the academy very closely and there doesn't seem to be any information about him on the internet.
Any info would be appreciated, what position he plays, previous clubs etc.
Cheers!

Some do, with us it seems like more of them get a chance in the second half of the season to see if they should promoted. My reasoning could be wrong but that's what it looks like to me. And then You have someone like Ollie Shenton who is an U-16 and he's been playing U-18's for the last two seasons. And that is down to how good they think is. Generally clubs will plays kids in advanced groups to push them and to see how good they are. I'd like to know what Luke has heard about this kid because I know nowt about him. |

As he said above, Luke DOES have a friend who is an agent. I'm giving him a lift down to the game tomorrow so I shall force a few answers out of him!  |

Why does he want to know about him?

Why does he want to know about him? Presumably because his friend, the agent, has either asked about him or given him some info about him. |

I don't see how anyone can tell from Luke's opening post at the top of the thread. As I said, I shall ask tomorrow - Luke may be facing thumbing a lift from the M6 hard shoulder! |

I don't know much about him at all personally but my Football agent mate seems to rate him very highly and he reckons quite a few teams have been sniffing around for him. I'll mention him again next time I see him and see if he's got anything else to report! |
