Happy to formalize the signing of my first professional contract in favor of stokecityI want to thank my agents as well as my family without whom NOTHING would have been possible. Can't wait to start this new adventure in England |

We do appear significantly weaker at both under 18 & under 23 level this season?.

Does anyone know where exactly the other big, bulldozing striker from the u18s, Godfrinne, has ended up?
He does seem to have left, but there's no record of him signing for anyone else. All a bit of a mystery.
Ireland doesn't seem to have signed for Dortmund (or anyone else) yet either.

I don’t think he’s signed for anyone and was under contract as a scholar so unless something happens re an agreement I can’t see him moving anywhere soon? |

This sort of dip is natural when you have so many move up to first team squad.

Another thing re the U23s not being as good is that Mohamed Akandji seems to be nowhere?
Again one of the better 18s last season and he hasn't played yet.
He was out of contract but we offered a new one.
No idea if he's left/injured or what but again he isn't on the team list online so guessing he's left?

What's with all our better players leaving this summer? Not sure tbh. Better offers with better pathways and more money? Apart from with Sankoh and Ireland though where the lure of better clubs and probably more money is clear (and fair) I have no idea. Got to factor in with Godfrinne and Akandji I guess maybe the same lure although neither seem to be at a new club and that they were in a foreign country away from family etc. |

My Motherwell supporting mate says he's shite* *total lie So, if this lad is better than Blondy and Broome then fair enough. If not, do U23 teams really need a 3rd choice goalkeeper? Unless Blondy’s league cup bench appearances are to suggest he will be promoted to second first team, or if Broome will head out for a bigger loan than last time (Mickleover?) this doesn’t really make sense to me. Three young keepers for one position likely means that two of them will not progress much at all. |

I would imagine Broome will be out on loan this season again, well I hope he is the best of Blondy, Bursik and him imo. And maybe if we sign Gunn and don't get a taker for Butland there's room for Blondy going on loan too? Whenever I've watched Blondy tbh, he looks bloody awful. |

That’s interesting, and I’ll have to take your word for it as I don’t watch the U23s, but like to check in and see what’s happening there. Why do you think Blondy and not Broome has been on the bench then, is he older? |
