Can't honestly blame him. Even if he does have anything (which these days is not a given anyway) it must be boring/exhausting going through all the names.PWADDICK said:Looks like Cawley has given up with replying to everyone asking about transfers under every article he posts0 -
mendonca said:I think the next step for Deji will be a loan, even if an old fashioned 1-3 month period.
I dunno. he's only 17. Best keep him in house for this season.
If it's thought he's ready to be loaned out, best he's sent somewhere local like Welling, for example.
Then it won't disrupt his home life, or being with family and friends - important for many youngsters.

Has he even played for our u23s yet? That must be the next step, when it comes.mendonca said:I think the next step for Deji will be a loan, even if an old fashioned 1-3 month period.
I think we need to utilise our relationship with Welling and Dartford a bit more. With Covid hitting these clubs are going to struggle to build competitive squads. Correct me if I'm wrong, but can't we just send them the odd player for a game or two. If they've got small squads it's got to be worth chucking them a player for a month if they have an injury or two.
Young players (under 21, I believe) can be loaned out but at the same time available for U23 games with the parent club.
Is it called a Development Loan or something like that?

It's "work experience" for scholars. So they train and do the educational elements with us but can play men's football for "them".Oggy Red said:

Good job we did not have the save attitude with players like Paul Walsh a d Robert Lee …RedChaser said:RonnieMoore said:
Why bring Sims in just to calm fans when we have a young lad Charlie Clayden know which one I would rather have in our teamMarcusH26 said:I thought Cawley had ruled out Josh Sims? Decent enough player but not someone I remember us being linked with before.Okay I’ll bite 🙄. In the words of a famous tennis player ‘you cannot be serious’! I can’t recall Sims against us for Donny but he’s now 24, an England youth international with over 75 first team appearances for a few league clubs under his belt, over a third of those last season.
Clayden was plucked out of Orients disbanded youth team, aged 20 no league appearances, a late developer. Showed promise scoring in the first half Welling friendly who offered little competition. Not so good for the 2nd half against Dartford who offered a much sterner test. In fact I thought he should’ve mixed it up a bit rather than trying to be Roy of the Rovers. He’s got a lot to learn and a way to go if he is to get in the ‘team’ as you put it.
Sims could do a job now, Clayden is one for the future and slowly introduced to the squad IMHO.
If we can’t blood young players in league one then we might as well close the academy and save millions of pounds each year
Paul Walsh and Robert Lee belonged to an era 35/40 years ago, with small squads and less intensity in League games.
Compare with the athletes and levels of fitness in most teams today.
Anyway, with youngsters today it's not just about skill or ability ...... they need to be strong enough, both physically and mentally.

You can surmise as such by their writing style.
You're new if you joined CL after 2006.

Doncaster fans really rate Sims by the way, they reckon he's good for a mid-table Championship move.0

I wouldn't be impressed at all if we get Solomon-Otabor after his medical issues. We are/were moving away from these kind of transfers.9
