I find it very encouraging that we have invetested in the youth team with players and coaches etc and we seem to have a really good crop of youngsters.. Worst comes to worst and we sell them it will still put some money in the coffers
A young player from Derry, Mikhail Kennedy, is said to have signed for us according to twitter. Only 16 I believe so one for the future.
In the same N Ireland youth team as Micheal Martin, one of our 1st year scholars. Good crop of local lads in the academy, but also good that the network of scouts we put in place last year is picking up players from further afield. Only takes a couple to come through to make it all worthwhile.
The Nigerian player who we have 'signed' just tweeted
@Endurancemiz1: Check my Real name out OLANREWAJU KAYODE for those asking about me...
Pretty sure someone on here had posted a goal of his stating we should look at him (could have been ackworth)
He has tweeted that his deal is subject to confirmation, but that it needs the approval of his previous club FC Lucerne (not sure how this works given that he was only on loan there, but maybe they have a first option).
Appears to be a 20 year old Nigerian youth international who has impressed and scored goals in youth international tournaments including the FIFA U20 World Cup (3 goals) and the Youth ACON (scored in the final) but has already had a fair few clubs. He was on loan at FC Lucerne from our old friends ASEC Mimosas - the loan expired in November.
I just signed up to cybereagles and reviews look pretty good for Kayode. Says he has been linked with Lyon before, great pace but needs to work on his finishing. Some call him the Nigerian Gyan, but that could be down to his dance.

Scouted by Real Madrid at 16 as well. The internet really is full of it!
oops, was all good lol He said, ”One of the other players, Olanrewaju Kayode, cannot also be under-17. He wanted to play for Sharks feeders in 2002 and he said he had finished secondary school back then. How then can he still be under-17? There might still be others but, as a lawyer, I don‘t want to speculate. Story from an Nigerian player

Taribo West, Nwankwo Kanu and Obafemi Martins don't know what you're talking about.

Given the size of Real Madrid, there's every chance he's been watche play by a Real Madrid scout, or more to the point one of their scouts has watched a game(s) he's played in. Scouting him and considering signing him are 2 very different things.
The internet is full of shit though. I'm still conviced Moutouakil's French U21 caps were just the figment of someone's imagination.

Tbf when I saw some of his pics on his twitter I thought there is no way he is 20 or under. The dude looks about 30

Definitely an interesting one.
Is but another name for absolute power
And clearest insight, amplitude of mind,
And reason, in her most exalted mood.''
just what I thought & he is currently injured into the bargain - you couldn't make it up !
I do love the transfer window !!!!!

Our new chap is the new Kanu according to this!
Applied for an u18-u20's team in 2002 so he's actually at least 27
