My mate's been watching Brad Young playing for Caenarfon v Rhyl this afternoon in the Welsh cup, being shown live on BBC Wales.

Did TNS ever get the fee from the Saudi club they sold him to?

Thought he would carve out a decent career, not necessarily with us but maybe championship or league one level, as he always looked to have something for our youngsters.
Similar, in a way, to another I thought would do pretty well, Courtney Cameron, winger. Went on loan to Rotherham, their fans rated him, left there and was never heard of again

Azaz has really kicked on at Saints whereas Archer has gone backwards.

Archer is a 1990s striker stranded in the 2020s. Everyone plays one up front now and that will never be his game.

Depends what the expectation levels are.

He'll probably spend most of the next fifteen years kicking around the football league pyramid and retire a happy multi-millionaire with a couple of hundred goals under his belt.

He'd have taken that career back when he was doing rondos with Legion.

If we see this out and the favourites win their quarters, we'll be up against a bizarre CB partnership of Thiago Silva and mediocre loanee Jan Bednarek for Porto in the semis.

116 games! I think I've just phased that half a decade out of my memory. Did he play the first season in the Championship for us?

Good on him though. Hope he enjoys the World Cup. Always tried, had a bit of ability and seemed a decent sort.
