Let’s hope this lad can make the step up………. Yes signing Alex Scott from Guernsey FC in the Isthmian league was terrible wasn't it? Or signing Antoine Semenyo from SGS's academy, he was a disaster. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very sad that Josh has gone but happy for him, though if the fee really is £250k then that sounds a lot lower than we were expecting (like half). Believe there's another £100k or so in it for you if he makes it at City. Best of luck for the rest of the season and see you in the summer! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Btw - wasn’t Scott part of the academy as was Semenyo? - correct me if I’m wrong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly wasn't expecting a Bauhaus reference on here, but you're quite right.

Very sad that Josh has gone but happy for him, though if the fee really is £250k then that sounds a lot lower than we were expecting (like half). He’s a great talent, makes and scores goals, strong and athletic for his age and I really think he has a good shot at playing at a really high level. It’s always tricky trying to keep things in perspective and remember that he’s only been playing in the national league, but he has the technical ability, work rate and physicality to play at the top, IMO. I can’t remember the last time a teenager made such an impact. Good luck for the season. Hello mate, thanks for the input. Hope he bangs in a few more for you before the season is out. Random question: do you have a second team/prem team? My mate posited people who support 'smaller' teams (no disrespect intended) ALWAYS have a second team. I disagreed, saying every club has a core fan base of 'one club and one club only' type supporters. So you can help settle a debate for me if you don't mind!
