Chelsea will offer him 30k per week and that will be that.

@SuperSAINT any of the new scholars highly rated in particular, aside from the two new signings?

Both keepers are well thought of.

Big fan of the Jake Vallance story, coming from Basingstoke.

Klevi & Wyatt will be worth keeping an eye on.

Hope they all stay injury free.

New signing possibly...

 

 

According to Transfermarkt he played 3 games for the u18 last season (possibly as part of a prolonged trial)? Hopefully he’s more Livramento than Simeu (who did seem fairly decent too tbf)

Have we ever had a goalkeeper come through the academy and become a regular in the first team? Can't think of anyone. I wonder why that is?

Bob Charles, born in Bursledon, was an England Youth 'Keeper (I think) then played 26 games in the 1959/60 season, so a regular for one season.

Gerry Gurr was another young 'keeper that came through the ranks after signing on from Guildford City.

Both of these are quite tenuous and it does seem that the club can develop lots of talented outfield players but not a decent 'keeper.

More recently (a bit) Michael Poke probably got the closest, but in the end only made 4 apps. Played regularly for Torquay. Basically though the answer is no. We've never done particularly well with CBs either.
