StapleHillPhil Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 After leaving City in the summer he's now been given a contract by Bournemouth until the end of next season. Can any academy watchers say why he never made the grade with us?http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/t...uth/4596066.stmedit:Ashtonyate,Please feel free to use this to take a swipe at the academy. With Willsbridge now retired you're one of the few remaining posters who can liven up this place.Regards,KNR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can any academy watchers say why he never made the grade with us?http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/t...uth/4596066.stmI saw him a few times and he didn't look first team standard to me. Of course clubs can always make mistakes but he didn't hold his own in reserve games so it is hard to see how he would ever be quite good enough. Was quite fast but struggled with high balls/heading. Not bad tackling but offered nothing going forward. Will be interesting to see how he does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Cyril Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 but struggled with high balls/heading. That was down to excessive use of product on his noggin.Surely a criminal oversight on the part of our coaching staff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
