WestYorksRoyal I wonder what's taking the likes of Abrefa, Dorsett and Ehibhatiomhan longer than Pereira. You won't get a better offer than Reading lads.

Perhaps the club is changing heart…

According to Wiki: Since the [Reading FC] Academy opened in 1999, 89 graduates have gone on to play for the first team [listed roughly in order of debut]…. Alex Haddow Darius Henderson Nathan Tyson Jamie Ashdown Darren Campbell Peter Castle Jamie Young Simon Cox Shane Long Curtis Osano Alex Pearce J...

What sort of numbers is Wirtz gonna have to put up to be considered successful? With a 150M price tag it's gotta be high! Something like this, which is his 24/25 season vs. Lamine Yamal, and puts him in the same ballpark. Liverpool will want him to create - only Yamal and Salah created more chances...

He also scored the goal to put them through. Indeed. 40 years old, bullet free kick into the bottom corner. Football, eh. Jumpers for goalposts, etc. https://x.com/PremSportsTV/status/1932909793993252907 Somehow missed this, but Oviedo's manager is Veljko Paunovic. Sacked by Mexican club Tigres UAN...

stealthpapes Ex-Leeds, now plays in France.

any good? Just noticed his name in both squads, that's all I know of him

Presumably the son of former Preston, Sheff U & Leeds player Richard?

Paul McShane has been appointed to the coaching staff at Huddersfield Town.

Academies bring in young talent, but it takes more than talent to make it. You need to be highly driven and competitive, and able to handle pressure. The stats don't really surprise me, it’s attritional at every age group. If you start at the U11s and skim off 20% each year, you'll see a very small...

Pepe the Horseman Some angry people on Twitter because Trent had the audacity to learn Spanish before his move.

Probably just jealous because Trent can now be understood in two languages while they struggle in one.

given the thread, any thoughts on the U-21s today? Squad is: JAMES BEADLE - TEDDY SHARMAN-LOWE - TOMMY SIMRIN CHARLIE CRESSWELL - RONNIE EDWARDS - CJ EGAN RILEY TINO LIVRAMENTO - BROOKE NORTON-CUFFY - JARELL QUANSAH ELLIOT ANDERSON - ARCHIE GRAY - HAYDEN HACKNEY JACK HINSHELWOOD - JAMES MCATEE - TY...

Winston Biscuit Charalampos Kostoulas joins Brighton from Olympiakos for £30M. forward who turned 18 a couple of weeks back

Presuming you don’t spend that sort of money on a player for your academy, I presume Pedro must be going then

TAA having 'Trent' on the back of his shirt at Real Madrid Feels a bit mean giving it a :| , but it's getting a :| all the same https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/ace/standard/800/cpsprodpb/vivo/live/images/2025/6/12/27e5472f-d448-4bcf-802b-bf1442419227.jpg.webp Can’t Alexander-Arnold be pronounced in Spanis...

Terrible idea. Football's broke, so let's just let clubs who are already cheating do whatever they want and watch loads of them explode out of business. Yay. :| And that would be bad to see “cheating” clubs go out of business? Would it have been bad to see us go out of business? Of course, but a ph...

Listening to a Football finance man on Talksport earlier and he first said that PSR is f*cked due to Chelsea's shenanigans and needs a complete rethink (ans says it will probably get one), and also said Villa are about to break PSR rules so they need to sell a player, but he predicted they will mor...

I am sure there was a team photo last season, and there must be one this time as well. I know Jason Dawson is the photographer and has been for some years. Looking at his Instagram page he also does the royal family quote a bit, as there's some photos of King Sausagefingers interacting awkwardly wi...

Possible spin off thread, but Panini have signed a deal with the EFL so expect to see our players appearing as Panini stickers. Might be interesting, it’s termed as a “groundbreaking multi-year partnership” Football League Press Release on the partnership Might have to get a copy of Match later thi...

So very few minutes for Stevenage in L2 a few years ago. What looks like an ok spell in L2 with Bradford season before last and then an ok last season in the SPL. Good age. Certainly a player that sounds not up to Championship/PL in terms of staying at Norwich, but from a decent youth set up and le...

Rather have Stephen Tompkinson

However Jonathan will be available on a free on 1 July, he has played for Bradford and Stevenage on loan as well.

Just a reminder as to where we are currently Name (age at end of contract) Contracted until 2026 Kelvin ABREFA (20) Ben ELLIOTT (23) Harvey KNIBBS (27) Emmanuel OSHO (19) Contracted until 2027 Charlie SAVAGE (24) Contracted until 2028 Lewis WING (33) Plus we are rumoured to have re-signed Wareham an...
