Only slightly diamonds related, but a few of our youngsters have disappeared there over the last few years.
Apparently the administrator is to release a large number of their youngsters.Could flood the market with some decent (and rubbish) youngsters.

Re: Portsmouth Academy
It does affect us, quite negatively I suspect, as I guess Paris Cowan-Hall is one of those likely to be released, and I am sure we had a sell on clause on him that we would have hoped to cash in on at some point.
Still if he came from round this way someone could pass on a phone number to JE...

Re: Portsmouth Academy
Paris played for the Pompey 1st team the other night in a friendly, this may suggest he will be staying and is in the managers plans
Re: Portsmouth Academy
I was unaware of that. I would suggest it might have been an effective trial for the season. Hopefully he will be one of the players that gets a chance to shine as they rely on cheaper talents this season.real diamond wrote:Paris played for the Pompey 1st team the other night in a friendly, this may suggest he will be staying and is in the managers plans

Re: Portsmouth Academy
He got me released from Diamonds when I was 11 when he trialled and I was right back. He was amazing back in the day, looked a sure bet to be a pro!real diamond wrote:Paris played for the Pompey 1st team the other night in a friendly, this may suggest he will be staying and is in the managers plans

Didnt he come on loan to Luton last year and converted to a striker?!Mad Dog wrote:If he's still there and one of the ones released, Callum Reynolds might be a shout if we want another CB.

Re: Portsmouth Academy
He was certainly on loan at Luton for a while last season, but I don't think they converted him to a striker! :?Oundle Diamond #2 wrote:Didnt he come on loan to Luton last year and converted to a striker?!Mad Dog wrote:If he's still there and one of the ones released, Callum Reynolds might be a shout if we want another CB.
