3 players with the same surname, when did that last happen?

 

[imissworthing2]

Agdestein?

 

[RM-Taylor]

The trialist striker will be Deniss Rakels

i've heard those trialist triplets are pretty handy

I'm guessing one of the others is Jesse Starkey (he is definitely out there with the squad).

Reminds me of when the Young triplets - Eric, Alan and Willie lined up together back in 1984

He went to stringer, a year above me, last I heard he was playing for Chelsea

Without wishing to add to the criticism of EVERY SINGLE THING the club do, which is currently prevalent on here, at a time when the club is publically stating its wish to cut costs, do our reserves really need their own overseas pre-season tour?

Isnt it likely that they need to fulfil the criteria of Elite Player Performance Plan.

I am not sure if foreign opposition is part of that obligation, but personally I wouldn't want the club to cut costs on this part of the club.

Of course it would need to be deemed relevant and appropriate to those young players development, but if so well worth it if we are to be serious about developing future first team players.

One up through Goodwin.

If so, then fair enough. Unlikely though.

At first glance you cannot help but see a cost when young wannabes are tucked up in a nice 4 star hotel for a week of training and a couple of games in the sun.

But if any academy is to be taken serious then I guess it is necessary for them to play teams with different styles of play and the associated experiences that foreign football and travel offers.

Ultimately if you cant afford it you cant afford it, but I can see the benefits.

I believe youth football isn't counted when it comes to FFP, so I assume this will be budgeted for in the youth budget
