Come on your winding us up
A bloody good one I'll give you that, but you really haven't got a contact at LCFC have you, you've got a mate that works at Walkers Crisps.

And that's as close as anyone has got to insider information - imo (Cheese and Onion btw)

Anything else happening? Lost my ITK contact as he moved up to Crookes facility from Shirecliffe!

I used to speak to an "actual " sufc scout ( he used to do sat/sun watching junior/lower league matches) He once told me he was getting really pissed off because any recommendations were getting ignored, a couple of which were picked up by EPL academies.
As a club our scouting/recruitment team are poor .
I miss rifleman

Don't disagree. In a previous life maybe 10 years ago i would have happily given a list of 20/30 names to united into who we needed to sign/look at.
quite comically all the main ones from the last 5 years or so have gone onto Brighton & Brentford

Absolutely it's been 20 years since I was involved in junior football and Sunday league, at the time there was a lot of allegations/ rumours that a lot of the "top" junior clubs in Sheffield were "feeding " clubs like Mufc,Leeds, forest etc with the best lads playing for them in return for equipment, sponsors etc.
TBF a lot of good young players go to clubs like man city where they get very limited experience before their academy contracts expire and end up in the lower leagues ( if they're lucky) trying to re-establish themselves.
A good majority of them just go because of parents who get pound signs .

There should be a new rule to stop the big clubs stockpiling talented players
