Taz Posted May 18, 2016 Report Share Posted May 18, 2016 Signed predominantly for the development/ under 21 squad, to push towards a first team place. Nice to see we are finally signing decent young players from other clubs though, it only takes a couple to come through and make a name for themselves then others will follow suit. Also with Lee in charge, he's already proved that he is willing to play the youngsters if they are good enough. Encouraging signs, but don't expect to see him in the first team from day one.

brad blit Posted May 18, 2016 Report Share Posted May 18, 2016 Regardless of being an U21 or first team player, it's still great to see the club act quickly on players compared to last summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbored Posted May 18, 2016 Report Share Posted May 18, 2016 He's playing against lads of his own age in those clips so it's difficult to judge how good he his. That said it great to see City signing a lad with decent potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bris Red Posted May 18, 2016 Report Share Posted May 18, 2016 Good to see us taking punts on these young'uns. Got to be realistic and admitt the majority wont blossom but you have to be in it to win it so to speak.. Wonder what we payed for him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pongo88 Posted May 18, 2016 Report Share Posted May 18, 2016 The words "one for the future" fill me with doom and gloom. We've had a few of these in recent years, who are never heard of again until someone on the forum asks whatever happened to what's his name? Let's hope this one breaks the trend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmersonsRed Posted May 18, 2016 Report Share Posted May 18, 2016 http://www.bcfc.co.uk/news/article/smith-joins-city-development-group-3117070.aspx Not seen it mentioned anywhere and I presume as he's signed it's allowed to go in here... Only ever seen the kid once, got an assist from what I remember. Friend of mine tells me he used to play as a defender and was adapted into a winger around the age of 15. Now a winger. Exciting that we are looking at players like this for the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
