He had 4 or 5 season and never had a sniff of first team football. if he didn't play he is probably lacking something to make first team football. Maybe Ajax will sort him out as he might find Dutch football easier.

Professional football is littered with the discarded young lives of those who were going to be world beaters at 16, surplus to requirements at 20. Such is the way of the dog-eat-dog world of the top flight game. 

AVFC is not unique in that respect.

Five or six years ago the PE teachers at our local High School were raving about a lad called Kieran Trippier.  One of the staff who has been there for 20 years or so and has seen a few lads who went on to play professionally, reckoned he was head and shoulders above anyone else he'd ever taught.  Anyway, Kieran made his way through the Man City academy, signed a professional contract, played for England at his age group level... and spent the last year on loan at Barnsley.  I don't know how he's done at Oakwell, but I wouldn't now bet on him making it at the highest level.



Curiosity got the better of me. Scored two goals this season. Both late equalisers.

I wish him well, I just wonder why we have stuck with Osbourne and Salifou so long?

Why would we release him if he's recently impressed in the Hong Kong Tournament?

And does this mean Houllier thinks he's staying?

That was my first thought, if Houllier was leaving wouldn’t they wait to get the next managers assessment of a player that they spent quite a bit of money on (in term of a youth player) and who had recently impressed in an international tournament?

Because we gave them long contracts. Nobody would be daft enough to pay us a fee to sign them.
