[Greystones Blade]

Gone to Fleetwood Town on a permanent transfer.

Hopefully more mobile than his Dad

Wasn't he very highly rated a few years ago and at England youth level? I know he got injured and I've not seen much about him since.

Yeah he was brilliant in the U21 cup game against Southampton (who had a very good team out that day including a couple of World Cup players) and seemed to be very highly rated.

I can only assume conversations with management concluded with him being unlikely to make our first team so fair play to him for getting a permanent contract elsewhere.

That's the long and short of it. Capped by England at U18s I think but then got a horrible knee injury (think it was against Leeds and was arguably a deliberate attempt by an opposition player to injure). Not the first prospect to be derailled by injury and sadly won't be the last.

GLTTL.

Saw him a few times playing in the national league, didnt look great, decent on the ball but seemed to get caught out positionally quite a bit. Hope he learns from that and it helps him build a career.

I think that was Callum Semple who got smashed by a Leeds player?

*If your dreams are to play for Fleetwood, in which case it might be time to get some new dreams.

Kid I was completely unaware we had finds permanent deal in L1. Meanwhile there's people that think that's exactly where we could be 16 months from now and that lots of players in the squad are National League level

 

[Rodley]

GLTTL. Sounds like he’s had a few tough breaks. To go and get a contract someone in professional ranks after that is no mean feat and embodies the Blades spirit. UTB.

As has been pointed out it was Semple injured v Leeds.
Potter’s England call up came after his return from injury.

Never played pro but I was a top seeker for Hufflepuff.
