dannyboy55555 Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Personally id play Hamer, Edmundson and Stott in a back 3. Its the future of the club. If they aren't good enough (i think they are) - why are they at the club? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they aren't good enough (i think they are) - why are they at the club? Agree in principal to blooding youth at the earliest opportunity, especially after their displays at the end of last season, but think playing all three together may be a shade early in their careers. Think they will learn plenty playing alongside Clarke which will stand them in good stead throughout their development, however I wouldn't have any qualms about playing all of them should injuries or loss of form necessitate.

FWIW I'd build the team round them, but they will develop into better footballers if they are handled right and not just chucked in. They acquitted themselves superbly last season, but it's not ideal i don't think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club reported it. Presume he's another one dropped by a Premier club. I wouldn't trust the name of that website. They list 19 of our youth players, at least 2 of whom have long since left the club. It's just a long list of players at different clubs.

Midsblue Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 I think Clarke will be more a Player/Coach next season to coach Edmundson, Hamer, Stott whilst shoring our defence throughout the season. He’s a leader no question and having him at the back in games, leading the kids and his heading from set pieces will be valuable. Is Gerrard leaving by the way?

Google translate says fourth year, but just putting vierdeklasser translate as 4th class, so I think you are right about 4th tier. A 4 year deal for him would be unthinkable of course!
