I see the u21s lost to Leeds last night - Shirley was sent off.
Barden also played, but he is still at Swindon, right? He hasn't been in the last few match-day squads there, but didn't he have an injury? Is he just back recovering and getting game time before going back?
Yeah - predicted text strikes again.Do you mean Shipley?
Just turned 17 and he's a left back.Young Turkish defender has signed his first pro deal with us.
Vatan Ozcan has signed a two-year deal.

That is an academy product right there!Just turned 17 and he's a left back.
Born in Cambridge
Been with the club since he was 10 years old
8 Turkey U17 caps
Lets hope he does well.

I agree, but you cant class mahovo, fisher Forsyth as our academy players. That was my point where as someone like ozcan you could and djedje (I think we scoured him at 11 when he was playing school football and he had been with us since 14) as both been with us since their younger days.Sure some young players coming through our Academy is great but I am not against us acquiring young players from other clubs, (e.g., Mahovo, Schwartau, Forsyth, Fisher) its just like expanding the pool of players you are looking at.

I wasn't referring to you when I wrote 'you can't class them as our academy players' i should have written people/club/JHT/fans/media outletsI didnt classify them as Academy players:

Hopefully members of both groups make the first team squad and play in the same team.
I think he got another injury in February, but I could be wrong.Anybody know whats happened to Shipley?
