I find all this business very stressful, just like when you get made redundant or get a divorce or something.

f*** sake. Why all the negativity? He's signed for a year to the development squad. Regardless of who his dad is, if he develops into a decent player he'll get a crack at the first team squad. If not, he'll get released like any other player.
Okay so he's not Dennis Bergkamp's nephew or some Chelsea golden boy with a "flair" name. If he shows half the guts and leadership qualities as a his dad, he'll be an asset to the Dev squad.

If anything, being called Charlie Oatway is a disadvantage as it makes people believe he is only here for his dad so give him a chance, and Diego Poyet might even play against us this season with Charlton [MENTION=1425]Oscar[/MENTION]
Oh f*** off mate, you and I both know he will not even get a sniff in. favours are called in by coaches of all clubs, Connor wilkins went from our youth team to southamptons (one of the best in the country) when wendy left us and joined them.
same goes for Hinsh and probably many others.

I'll give him a chance to prove himself but sounds like a massive favour to Charlie Snr.
Bit of a misrepresentation there..... Conor Wilkins was signed professional after his scholar ended and when Dean Wilkins had already moved on.
CW was then released near the end of his contract ( no shame in that ) and by all accounts did some training down at Southampton to stay in shape, but never signed or played a game for their youth ( he was too old anyway ) or their DS squad.

According to the Argus he score 34 goals for his team last season, playing as an attacking midfielder. Not bad even at that standard.

With a bit of guidance from his dad, he could make it in years to come. All the best to him.

Hope he makes it as im an Albion fan. However, I saw him play 6 times last season and whilst he looked better than county 2 he was nowhere near good enough for us. saw players of a similar age who looked a lot better than he did (in my opinion). For those that dont know much about county div 2 standard, to put it in real world terms hes been running a corner shop and has been promoted to ceo of tesco! Good luck to him and no big deal if he isnt good enough, im sure we arent paying him silly wages.

Good luck to him. The clue is in the name really, 'Development Squad'

He played up front for me and although there wasn't a lot of physical strength about him at that age he could put the ball in the net 9 out of ten times, he also had a trial with Brighton back then but wasn't physically ready for it.
Good luck to him I say
