Apparently we've bid 250k for a 17yr Barnet striker who scored over 50 goals in their under 18s last season. But Barnet have either rejected the bid or the FAW have blocked the move as we made an illegal approach. Anyone know what's going on with this? |  |

I'd be happy with this.Wityh our system of one up top there's no way we can keep all our strikers happy if they're PL quality.A youngster with promise is what we need if Gomis is to stay.Kenji Gorre can't be far away now either. |  | | |

We are not signing some 18 year old who plays for the Barnet youth team as a back up to a striker who is getting £70k per week !
He will be signed for the development squad.
And I can't believe that any supporter would think this was the sort of signing we'd be happy with for the first team squad. He can't even get in to their team let alone ours!
I don't know why everyone i falling over themselves to buy someone to keep Gomis happy. If he ends up unhappy we sell him. But surely no one thinks we should only get a crap striker so that we don't upset him? It's not Messi for God's sake. |  | | |

Spot on if Gomis can't handle a bit of competition he shouldn't be a professional footballer.
Still have a feeling he won't be here the end of August. |  | | |

I'm sure if good enough he'll be an option.He was never going to displace Gomis but you never know he might come good and be an option of the bench at some point.I'm happy with us signing promising youngsters.As I said earlier they're happy in the knowledge they won't be our main source of goals when it matters.It's difficult getting 2 classy strikers in with only 1 position to fill as was proved with Bony nad Gomis so a young striker with potential I see no harm in. | | | |

well if he was good enough he'd probably have played more than once for Barnet to be fair. That doesn't mean he won't become good enough.
We have to sign another top striker in my view. | | | |

Without sounding arrogant 250k is chicken feed to us these days.
We got rid of Donnely probably hoping 1 day one of these punts will come good .... As Lisa said he will be no where near the 1st team | | | |

As it's already been pointed out - if he signs it's not for the first team squad. [Post edited 4 Jun 2015 21:55]

Matty is a great kid. He's the polar opposite of the typical pro footballer.
He's also a 2 time England boxing champion too. |  |

He's 17 and we're taking a punt on him.It might work it might not but I'm just glad to see the club going down this route.Not everyone will be a Rory Donnelly. | | | |

Well I can tell you first hand he's one of the nicest kids you'll meet. His dad's a nice fella too, they're a family of boxers and their feet are firmly on the ground.
Before Warwick bans me 😂😂😂😂 [Post edited 4 Jun 2015 21:56]

I would say he is better off at Barnet in league 2 rather in our u21s. Rory is a lesson for me. Also i still want us to try and bring our Academy players through rather than body snatch young players from smaller clubs. I think quality players like Grimes are worth the investment, others seem like gambles to be honest and none has made an impact at first team level to date - maybe Gorre will be the first. |  |

Our academy has not been up and running to a premier league standard for long. So it could be 2-3 more years before we see any of the youngsters come through to the U-21's and then hopefully move onto the first team. So until then we need to bring more youngsters in from around the UK to increase our youth reputation and Ofcourse find players with the potential to make it into the first squad. | | | |

Fair points - and certainly our results are now good, whereas previously results were not so good. | |

Let's hope it's a £200k to £250k initial punt rising in stages to £1m when he starts his first team game, scores first league goal, gets first international cap, scores winning goal in World Cup final. | |
