To whoever asked - Phil Cannon is our Head of Recruitment for the academy.
Tony Fawthrop, ex-Bristol City, joined our staff in September as a south-west scout. He probably had something to do with it. Who was the older bald fella who came to watch Lucas with Sheedy when we played Newcastle in th fa yoof cup evrton chris? Any idea? Millom |

and I doubt it would've done his big move any favours if he'd blurted out to those behind the Arkells - yeah, I'm signing for Everton lads.
Successful clubs don't sell their best players.
Ambitious clubs don't sell 17 year olds whose value will only appreciate, and score goals in the interim.
Successful clubs don't have boards with the foresight of ours.
If we'd managed the debt, paid the CVA, we wouldn't be selling. Diamandis, Bowden, Holt, Starnes, whoever....if you have any sense of satisfaction whatsoever in this deal you are not the right people to be running this football club. Muppets.

Can have Beattie and Anichebe aswell. Both shite
If you think Anichibe is shite, you'll not be too impressed with Lukas. He first came to my attention a couple of years ago in the reserves, and looked a useful lad, having watched closely this season, I' ve said he looks to have the potential to be a decent lower league striker and no more. |

I doubt you'd even think that about Victor. How he's even near the first team is beyond me. The more i think about it, I reckon Lukas might be an academy signing - but then why was Moyes sorting the deal out :? |

Same old shit with this club/board.......Lukas is a real prospect and at only 17, can only go on to improve a hell of a lot further.
He's looked really good when playing in the senior side, and he's a class above the rest when playing for the Youths.
Such a nice person as well, so i wish him well.
And in reply to what someone else said, he will still be able to play for us for the rest of the season as the transfer window isnt open.

In some ways I feel a bit sorry for the boy....thinking back to Paul Rideout, who Everton fans will fondly recall, it was obvious he was going to be a player, but he had a couple of seasons playing in Div3/4, scoring some goals and learning his trade, before moving at 19 to Villa. So when he arrived it wasn't too much of a step up.... Lukas wil probably just go the same way as the Mills's and Collins's.......never making the first team not learning their trade. |

What's happened to Leigh Mills anyway? Not really lived up to the hype at Spurs?
Shouldn't have turned us down..

Can't really disagree with this. Lukas is nowhere near being a proven player, even in this league. If a substantial fee was/is offered it would only be realistic to accept it. Selling youth players is always a gamble, but the club is not in a position take such a gamble. It just angers me that it is this board who have done this deal so god knows what we will get out of it. |

http://www.bbc.co.uk/wiltshire/content/articles/2007/03/15/stfc_150307_feature.shtmlI think back to when caton was being hailed as the next big thing and look at all the bad luck he has had. Yes it would be great to keep him and watch him grow but i'd take five hundred grand and a decent sell on clause any day of the week. we are a small club and cannot afford to take a gamble on him. we should be happy that we have him to sell.

I would be happier if the board now announced that a good fraction of the CVA (i.e. not just the outstanding 100grand) can be paid off with this windfall. I suspect however, it will all go on something else - possibly a big stack of plates for smashing, some ouzo and some shoes with them curled up toes.
