mad_mac 3,151 Posted January 7 Ruben Sammut has had his loan at Falkirk expired. They've sent him back to Chelsea. I asked a Falkirk fan why, and he said that Ruben was one of the worst players in the team. Sad to read as he'd looked good in the youth games I caught him in. But, Falkirk are a different breed, battling relegation, and maybe it was too much for them to gamble on Ruben. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ugbo has had his loan at Sc**thorpe ended too sadly, 2 goals in 18 appearances. Edited January 7 by the special one Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gone from a promotion battle to a relegation one. Yet another one who I had fairly high hopes for who doesn't look like he will fulfill his potential. Will join old youth-team mate Jon Swift at Reading who again is another one..............................etc etc 1 robdog reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anyway, hopefully we have learnt from that as the current crop are doing better................................... Horribly handled. There were so many players with potential coming through then that we handled terribly by loaning them out to garbage teams that never played them, and ended up wasting season after season. The list of players I can name is literally through the roof. THANKFULLY though, we are slightly improving in that aspect with RLC and CHO both getting game time with our first team on a fairly regular basis, so maybe we are changing just a little bit? Though of course that all goes out the window is this moronic board decided to just sell CHO to Bayern 1 ducavis reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The last I heard was that Chelsea was going to report Bayern to FIFA for tapping up CHO. 1 yorkleyblue reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nibs 6,337 Posted January 25 Another of our youngsters who is getting rave reviews is full back Reece James who is at Wigan. He's put in a number of MOTM performances and is one to keep an eye on. Has pace and is good on the ball and is quite a specimen with seasoned pro's apparently just bouncing off him! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
