[Albion] Caylan Vickers

[Joey Jo Jo Jr. Shabadoo]

Taking a youngster off Reading, how the tables have turned.

 

[raymondo]

Not a fan of this shift to saying "2004" talent rather than their age.

For that reason alone I'm going to decide this kid is shithouse.

Me too... I have to do mental arithmetic every time RDZ says one

 

[Jimmy Grimble]

Worth remembering Reading are at the wrong end of League One as well. This kid won’t be getting first team minutes.

 

[A1X]

How long before we can play James Milner and a team of players born after Milner’s PL debut?

 

[AZ Gull]

u21 squad is way too big, some will have to go up

If we progress in the U-21 PL Cup (and do well), make further progress in the PLIC and do well in the PL2 play-offs we could be playing another 15 matches or so this season. Plenty of gametime for everyone!

Pretty soon if it’s Milner, a keeper and 9 attacking midfielders.

Do feel a tad bad about picking up a highly thought of prospect as part of what appears to be asset stripping from the Reading chairman.

Dog eat dog world though, if it wasn’t us it would be someone else.

Leeds' purchase of Mark Beeney probably saved Albion from going under. We are just paying it forward.

 

[London Irish]

Came on in that game where Reading couldn’t beat our kids

 

[Milano]

He looks about 14

 

[Bodian]

Can we get him a shirt that fits properly?

 

[Hugo Rune]

Can we get him a shirt that fits properly?

They didn’t have any youth sizes to hand.

 

[B-right-on]

Can we get him a shirt that fits properly?

My thoughts too, looks bloody awful. Not sure if it's too big or crappy design.

Anyway, welcome Caylan.

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

Standard stock levels.

 

[Fignon's Ponytail]

Looks like his mum has told him to pose for a photo while on a stadium tour, before his birthday party

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Hopefully we get the vapour run of the green and he turns into a real talent

 

[Mr Bridger]

Probably had plenty of practise at leathering tennis balls.

 

[Questions]

I’m sure this is all part of the ( business) plan…. But

He's older than Crystal Palace.
