whats the benefit and who are these kids we signed up? uto xxx

Well we have little depth to our squad soI suppose first benefit is we have a couple of defenders. They are clearly for development squad, both released by Premier Clubs who presumably have stronger reserve squads than ours.
Its possible we can turn one of dev squad members into real asset. We took Caolan Lavery at similar stage and he hasbecoe an asset.
Few years back we took Whelan and Brunt who had been released and they became a success.
Young comes from very successful Southampton Academy and was captain of their development squad had a trial and impressed. Plays right back.
Sanders comes from Stoke City Academy. We need centre halves so will get opportunity to develop.

Not all will be a success but if you find a decent player a season will make it more than worthwhile.

So its not due to loovens and gooch not signing as a scare buys. ? uto xxx

It's a bit early to be a scare buy surely.
Especially with today's news.

I don't believe till today's take over is written on the dotted line uto xxx

Buying young is better than signing some old has beens that just want the pay check.

This report has more credibility than any previous rumour. Radio Sheffeld which poured cold water on others has indicated it is accurate.
From questions uto seems to be glass half empty person.
The scare story question is something a fan of another club would put forward as a wind up.

I can assure you i'm all blue and white! uto xxx

The trouble with the development squad is that they are mostly too old. IMO the development squad should be 16-18 year olds. If you are 21-23 then you are just not good enough because at that age you should be in the first team.

Drogba, Klose, Ian Wright just to name a few didn't sign pro until late on, so it is possible.

They are very much the exception. You only have to look at our own team, Wood, Beevers & Spurr are Div1/Champ players at best but all broke into our first team at a young age. If your 22/23 then the door is that way.

Also Drogba signed for Le Mans at 19 & and Klose for Homberg at 20. Both broke through into first team football not long after that, so hardly venerable old men. Just because you hadn't heard of them doesn't mean they weren't Pro's

Drogba didn't SIGN pro until 21.
I'm not saying that you are incorrect, just that it is possible.

I have worked in Baku a few times over the years and witnessed the infrastructure grow at a fast rate of knots due to the offshore/onshore oil/gas resources.
This may be of no relevance but if Mammadov has his fingers in those pies he certainly be worth a few bob.
The Azaris also take their football extremely seriously.

I had not heard this chaps name mentioned anywhere prior to announcement. Think most of those who follow club have thought something in wind for a while. I was surprised to see players we had released saying thought we would do well and making complimentary noises for e.g Taylor.
Actions of Mandaric, challenge for promotion next season /put down of Jonathan Hope Qatari bid and clear out of players all indications bigger pot was cooking.
Hence think we should have known something coming!

I think MM is a shrewd business man. I know I would keep my cards close to my chest.

Heard this takeover talk before not believe any thing till signed sealed delivered

Huge story Hafiz Mamadov has bought Wednesday, reported in L'equipe, Eurosport, Sky Sport, BBC Radio Sheffield.

Azeri billionaire already owns FC Baku and Lens. Has investments in Porto and Athletico Madrd.
E50 million investment to get us promoted.

Hopefully this will stop moaners posting.

I'm sure the negsperts will still find an angle mate.
It's quite funny how they have been harping on about RU and our lack of ambition in comparison.

Sounds promising though.

I have a source at Southampton and am reliably informed Wednesday have made an offer to released Brazilian midfielder Guly Do Prado.
