What a refreshing contrast to the poor first team results

CafcWest

Good result with only 10 (young) men...

Interesting to see Mick giving a trial to Kevin Foley, one of his former Wolves players. Could do a job for us as RB (and LB) cover, only 31

I know it'll come across as another dig at the club, which it actually is, but ffs could they not have got him to sign in one of the boardrooms?

Big moment for the lad, his parents are there, and he's signing a contract in Boysie's car lot.

In the days of Social Media, image is everything.

Was this on the OS, I never saw it, or are they not putting it on their anymore as they have so many young players signing contracts

Thought that myself.
It wouldn't take long to drive down to the valley from there either.

Perhaps they have sold the boardroom as office space during the week!

I agree it would be better to do it in the board room at the Valley but the players are at Sparrows Lane.

Sparrows Lane is more than a bit run down which one of the reasons it is being re-built.

it could be better but if you've been to SL you'll see there aren't that many "smart" places to do the photoshot.

Congrats to the lad, not sure he's too worried.

Yeah thats fair enough but why not invite the kid to the Valley on the morning of a match and do it there.

Its the little things.

Least his parents know where the Camera is...

Is anyone else trying to peer round the picture to see what Dijksteel is looking at?

Ok. Im not blaming the press team one bit btw, its obvious they have their hands tied.

KM should be trying her best to showcase the young talent her and roland believe will earn them millions, not getting them to sign contracts in a broom cupboard.

Probably the game we noticed him, playing for Nike Academy against our boys

Ollywozere

The photo would have been taken for him, personally, rather than a publicity shot. Nothing has been announced as the move is still awaiting a few formalities to do with international clearance etc... although he's still eligible to play for the U21s

Good explaining of a simple situation that doesn't in fact involve the end of the world again @Ollywozere

Still answering questions at 6.24pm Olly, you will get a reputation for being a dedicated worker if you are not careful. I assume this is why it has not been on the OS.
