Where Are Our Ex-Players and Staff Now?

Question is could he do that for us in the Championship

It seems to be a long, long time since we had any youngsters making a success in the first team, SADLY

 

Former Watford defender Juan Carlos Paredes has been linked to alleged drug trafficking according to reports by Ecuadorian website Aficion Central.

 

I see he's still going strong in the top division in Ecuador at the ripe old age of 35.

 

Well a little sniff probably gives him energy....

 

In case, like me, you had been wondering - Jerome Sinclair at 26.

Reading that after watching our youth team last night, makes you wonder just how many youngsters, with high hopes, will make a full time career out of football. So often when you look to see where a player is now, you find them playing for a non-league side alongside part-time players. When Watford started the Academy, part of the ethos was to give them a good all round education as so few would be full time players, and they needed to be prepared for a life outside football.

 

It actually sounds like he had a good attitude—the managers have good things to say about him—just never quite managed to step up. I think luck does play a part in building a career. You have to get the right break at the right time to get a run of games when you're in form. If other in form strikers are in front of you in the pecking order, or you get an injury at the wrong time, it can torpedo your chances. It does seem strange he couldn't forge a career at least at League One level.

 

Might bump into Troy on a night out.

Least he has found something to do and could make it a success.

 

Did you mention Isaac Success? ...another one!

 

I think I saw him falling over for Udinese at the weekend when flicking channels. I think it was him, didn´t put too muich attention to it though. I thought he'd live up to his name, but just got worse and worse.

Oh dear God. I daren’t show my Dad.

 

Must be something that comes from playing for Everton

 

A familiar face helps his new club celebrate an early goal on his full debut. 1-2 was the final score.

 

Ended a losing run I think too .

 

Chalobah gone to WBA.

Let’s hope he doesn’t come back to haunt us !

 

Mattie Pollock making his Aberdeen debut - five minutes in and they haven't conceded yet. Already has hero status.

 

They lost 3-1 - not helped by having a man sent off in the game .

 

A solid but unspectacular start for him - and unsuccessful, with St Mirren winning 3-1. Yellow card for a poorly timed tackle, but apart from that didn't put a foot wrong.
Aberdeen's defence is a shambles - very much like ours at times, with no apparent organisation. I'd hate to be in his boots when they play Celtic or Rangers...
