Parkhouse back – is this a surprise, or part of the standard GerrumBackTemporarilyToAssessDevelopmentBeforeGerrumSentBack?

His contract runs out in June I think and according to an article in the Derry press we’ve only offered him a year, despite some other clubs being interested. That makes me think we only offered the contract to make sure we get compensation. I can only assume this is to check how good he actually is and whether we should be making greater efforts to keep him. But I’m just guessing, I’ve no idea on this one really.

It's difficult to say. Doherty & Parkhouse have been on loan in leagues which DON'T have the same dates as ours. Summer leagues if you like. So they've come back home at an odd time of year. It would be fairly normal for development players who they want to keep slipping into the U23s as part of continued development/assessment..(My understanding is they've offered Parky a contract)

I see Kamari Grant is playing? I’ve heard of him in the rumours thread.

He's not in the XI I understand, Reece York in for him as a late change.

Think we are entitled to a fee if Parkhouse joins another club in England as he is under 24. Not sure if Celtic can get him for free?

I think that’s right as they’re a ‘foreign’ club. There was talk of changing that to stop the Germans from nicking our academy players like Sancho but I’ve not heard of any change.

See the Moussa Dembele transfer from Fulham as a prime example of this.

Do you think Amissah on the bench on Friday then?

 

[Ball_Sup (Phil)]

I make that over 40 players in just 17 U23 games this season. With the return last night of David Parky Parkhouse, Jordan Jordy Doherty & Oliver Oli Greaves. In a Full Blown Keeper Crisis, you'll want to know about Jordan Amissah an' all. And a trip down the Carrier Bag Firm memory lane, as a vocal coach encourages Brooksy - and it ain't Travis & David.

I'll also take the liberty to hijack my own thread & plug my Blog from the BornToBeFylde game. The beers I slugged included Lime, Ginger, Forced Rhubarb, Natural Cheesecake Extract (FFS), Saskatoon Berry, Maple Syrup, Mango, Vanilla, Lactose & Coconut as ingredients. Surely you'll want to get outside that lot.....

Where's Olly Greaves been on loan. Was trying to think of him the other day, always looked a tidy player when I saw him.

We're at the Arsenal game, flying out for The Wanderers Test, back to Heathrow in time for the Palace game. In. Surgical Strike. Out.

Barrow. I think at that level he's allowed to nip back for U23 games (maybe........)

I am fairly sure that he and Doherty went abroad - USA, I think - which is why they are back because their season has ended.

Oliver Greaves is at Barrow ..... The Carrier Bag Firm have had eyes on him earlier this season

Your "all too quiet " comment on your blog reminds of watching the second team out on Cup games. Is it because they are afraid of making mistakes if they push too hard?

 

[Ball_Sup (Phil)]

Dragging this thread back. The Blog explains where Parkhouse, Doherty & Greaves have been.
