    U23 football aged 16/17 so seems highly thought of. Watched a few u23 games and he is a big lad for his age. Hopefully he pushes on this season

    Just back from local, and a few of the younguns were in who share a WhatsApp group with JC. They’ve said it’s a bit more than 3.5, but that he’s told Conte he wants away, and wants to come to SAFC. Conte said fine, and has made him train on his own.

    Something must have changed in the rules behind these things because I thought there was nothing we could do about it…

    I think most footballers think they’re good enough to be first choice or at least play regularly, arrogance about your own ability is pretty much a prerequisite for being a success.

    They played some very tidy football, a few looked good enough to have decent careers, their goal scorer looked good.

    It's been crying out for this approach for years, buying young talented players who can develop into better players, instead of the usual journeyman

    The bid for Rudoni was 500k plus bonuses.

    You’d think he’d be on high wages (for a championship club).

    It’s a no for me.

    Exactly this, we looking very positive tranfer wise targetting & bringing in good young players....but it is absolutely MASSIVE if we stop our best young talent leaving...shows the huge work in background paying off as were now turning heads that were a good option to stay at.

    These young kids are crucial to our 5+ year plan, obviously if outstanding could be in before then...its shaping up well top to bottom of the club...fingers crossed he def signs

    The club has seen Premier league clubs sniffing around one of our young lads and got him a 3 year contract sorted out! Excellent to see this side of the club has 100% changed with the new regime.

    If we get Clark then we will be almost as strong as we were when we finished last season.
    Ballard would replace Doyle.
    Broadband may or may not be here.

    Even with Clark we only have one LW now that McGeady has gone.

    We are doing all the right things (Gooch/Patterson/Wright/Roberts) so I’m confident the next ‘new’ signings will be the right ones.
    Clark looks like it will happen.
    Rudoni probable.
    It will be exciting when we get all the new lads in because it appears we are going for the right types.
    I’m feeling more confident with our management team now than I have for ages and Alex Neil is doing all the right things.

    I’m sure we will finish in the top half but where exactly I don’t know.
    I do know we are going in the right direction.
