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? Older and Broome is injured I think. They seem to rate Blondy tbh too. |

Whenever I've watched Blondy tbh, he looks bloody awful. seen Blondy a couple of times, made some superb reaction save, really top drawer but also looked a bit crazy spending lots of time closer to half way line than his own area Yeah he's absolutely kamikaze. Bursik is a bit like that too tbh but not to the level of Blondy. |

Better move than what was being lined up in the summer for him.
Good luck to him but the right thing to move on.

Must of been a tough decision, playing with the Swiss alps in the background or the stoke incinerator. |

Our U23's are looking a bit ravaged this season. It’s alright, we’ve got plenty of crap in the senior squad we are unable to shift and can throw in there. Show them how to not lead their careers. |

He’s not that good. So to get money for him is excellent. He was never going to get a game here. The better players are either in the first team squad or left. We still have a couple of players in Forrester and Porter who could make the step up but it is what it is given the drain up to the first team and with Sankoh, Godfrinne and Akandji leaving. |

Fair enough, I've never seen him play, but his goals do kinda alarm me - did we not want to throw him on at some point? Sounds like we need some new blood at that level otherwise we're going to have to continually shell out for players. |

Sounds like we need some new blood at that level otherwise we're going to have to continually shell out for players. He scored 6 in 14 in the PL2 league last year apparently. He’s got 4 in 3 this season but all 4 in the one game where Leeds weren’t playing with a recognised centre back. He’s 21 too. So he’s not exactly on the young side of the spectrum with the youth team. Absolutely the correct thing to sell him. It’s a better move than it looked like he could get, he should get a chance of first team football and we got some money for a player we were never going to play. Happy days. |

I think the attraction was he seemed to be a forward scoring regularly (Stoke definition: scoring in two separate games in the same calendar month) which apart from Stein, Sheron, Thorne and odd purple patches from Sturridge, Saunders etc is something we have lacked for much of the last 40 years hence Dadason, the norwegian part timer and all the others being annointed the new messiahs. |

Don't dispute that but very few people ever saw him so like Stellings good doctor at gretna he looked good if you just checked the scores. |

Oh indeed and then out of him and Campbell he performed better in the 2 youth cup semi's too which are the games people watched. Like people watching the game Kymerateng scored 4 in. It's not the whole picture. |

I mean, Gifton made a career out of just being big and pretty crap at everything else. That's not me advocating that this was the wrong move and we should have kept him, but if he can apply himself then he may have an okay career in football. |

Who's career seems to have flatlined at the age of 21 (guess) already. Kymerateng might take his chance with his Thun but there was no way he should have got a chance here. |

Would be interested in understanding the reason(s) why a number of our better prospects left this summer?
Financial? Opportunities in another country to develop? Did we not try hard enough with them? Or something different?
We spend a lot of money on the recruitment of youth and their development. Started to see a group coming through but the next group seem to want away or have already left......

Or something different? We spend a lot of money on the recruitment of youth and their development. Started to see a group coming through but the next group seem to want away or have already left...... Sankoh was the main loss and going to a Bundesliga club (Stuttgart) who may have offered more money and a quicker route to first team football (see Bellingham, Sancho etc) would seem a sensible career move for him, same for Josh Ireland to Dortmund. Others needed to go as they would not make it at Stoke and were clogging up the u-23 team. Otherwise, with Campbell, Verlinden, Collins, Souttar, Tymon, Oakley-Boothe, and even Edwards, around the first team, and Bursik and Sorensen impressing on loan and, hopefully, coming back stronger to challenge for a first team place next season, the club has not looked better served with young players coming through for quite some time. There does seem a bit of a gap behind them, but Blondy has his admirers, and Varian, Porter and Forrester could have very good futures ahead of them. We've picked up a few new kiddies already, but it would be good to add one or two more, especially in the forward ranks. |

Slim picking for the u-23’s these days.
Concerning that Shawcross not getting a run out suggests he’s still nowhere near fit.
