Probably part of the reason KLP is so sought after is people are now realising that we produce quality footballers, after Maguire, Robertson and Bowen all came through the side from a (relatively) young age.
Don't want them becoming another Greg Luer, need to develop them, get them in the right loans or opportunities in our first team over the next few seasons.
Plenty of lads released at a similar time to Greg still playing at a relatively high level. That was a very money dominated era for us which saw a lot of these lads not given chances they may/may not have deserved.We gave Greg his first/only professional opportunity.
Fact he's playing for Eastbourne isn't to do with the FACT we gave him a platform at a young age to make the most of - that hasn't defined his career.
Bullard trying to be his 'agent' at the time probably did though.

I have regrets over Cairney.
One Bruce Definitely got wrong.
A period we were willing to spend rather than give opportunity. Hoping we don't make mistakes like that again, because we have players will the potential to be on that level coming through.I have regrets over Cairney.

I repeat. We signed Slater. A young Northern lad who'll develop.
That wasn't a McCann signing as a certain podcast suggested last week. It's a signing made by the regime who watched our promotion last season.
I think Cairney just got unlucky. Didn't he get injured early in that 2012/13 season so Bruce never really saw him, then sent him out on loan when he was fit and that was it?
Think a lot of places were suggesting that was a McCann signing. But it's great we're signing a young promising player, but we do need to continue to develop our own, too.
Do you mean living on it at sea? If so, you might want to reconsider, it’s ****ing awful even on the flat Mediterranean - you will get thrown around in a small boat. Boats are for travelling in, you need to be in a port to sleep.
The good thing about the med is everything is within a days sailing to get there. I’m based in Mallorca which is dead centre
Love Mallorca, prefer the north of the island, but would love an apartment and boat in Palma marina.

Totally agree, he should never have been let go, also Cooper, though I have gone right off him with all his talk of being a TWS supporter. Maybe it was just for TWS fans' ears, but IMO you should always be honest about who you support.
Well someone has suggested KLP is a ManUre fan so make of that what you will.
The bit pointing at menorca is quite nice.
But I'd rather go to menorca.
Probably cos I'm old and can't be ****ed with rowdies.
Could well be, but he always makes in know how proud he is to play for his hometown club. Unlike our days, people of KLP age have been brought up on a diet of SKY wall-to-wall football, and I know from my Grandson he's a City supporter, hardly misses a game, but he also supports Liverpool as a 2nd team. I think a lot of kid of their age are similar.
Yeah I'm so proud he wants to bail when city finally have the chance to go somewhere.
If he wants to go **** him.
I just hope we get maximum coin.
