Sending the u23 and u18s to kortijk and sarajevo

Tue Feb 12, 2019 8:20 pm

See a lot of people on here going on about how there’s no one coming through, surely a better idea for the club would be to send them out to Belgium and Bosnia for a better standard of football than a reserve league ? Maybe we could develope more players that way ?

Sarajevo top of the Bosnian league - experience in a successful competitive team
Kortijk - mid table in Belgian league - decent standard of football would surely benefit them ?

Tan owns both teams maybe it’s time to use those teams to help us a bit more ?

In theory a good idea, but in principle we don't have players good enough to play at those levels. Nor would those teams want to play our reserves/youth

Surely there must be at least one or two good players ? Coxe ? Lloyd humphries ?

Coxe for sure.

He has been around for sometime now and if he doesn't progress soon then he will be another lost academy player. For his own good sending out to Bosnia for example could be the making of him similar to when Rob Earnshaw went to Scotland all those years ago.

It is probably not as easy as it sounds to do your suggestion but I think it is a brilliant idea. :D

No because we haven’t got players good enough for league two never mind those leagues

correct, if our academy had players capable of playing at that standard we would have championship and league one clubs knocking on the door to loan them. instead one has gone to Hereford .
