formerly known as ivan Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Not much to go on. I work for a company that deals with housing for a specific target base. One of my colleagues today took a call from a lady trying to find accommodation for her 18 year old son. Unfortunately we couldn't offer anything but she then mentioned that her sin had just signed for bristol city and they were looking for somewhere to stay. When my colleagues mentioned that she knew a few city fans and asked his name but she said she couldn't say and had to go. This makes me think that its possibly a youth team player but who knows!

Thanks, very kind of you to say so. What I put above is 100% true and I didn't think it could be that young keeper. Also tried finding out if they had an Aussie accent but she said no.

'Orns Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 I don't believe this for one second......surely an 18 year old footballer will have a team of people looking for a house, not his Mum.....

Nothing there about a player so I am assuming he's a YTS kid learning the ropes in the kitchens. Not something we particularly need to be ITK on but I am sure I speak for everyone when I say I wish him well and hope the food prep shows an improvement.

LondonBristolian Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Doubting the fact he doesn't have a team of people doing this rather than the story bud. Keep digging!! Not really sure why you seem so convinced there'd be a team of people. Especially if it's a youth player who's joining the club then it's unlikely he'd have all that in place. A lot of the kids who get released from Premier League teams are pretty much on their own. Not even sure all of them would have agents, let alone whole teams in place to find accommodation. Not saying this story's necessarily true but that's certainly not a valid reason to doubt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bar BS3 Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 I would have thought the City, or any club for that matter, that had signed an 18 year old lad who was moving away from home and needs accomodation - the club would have this in place with registered, vetted, host families. Not leave them to sort themselves out through some 3rd party agency. Not doubting the legitemicy of the story, but doubt there is too much to get excited about based on this.

herman Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 mate, they must have mentioned a budget of what they were looking for from that you can quickly work out whether it's an unknown youth player who wouldnt be able to afford all that much, or whether their budget was higher and thus a player of higher standing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
