Walsall have agreed a three year
deal with Manchester United that will see the Saddlers having first
refusal on the up and coming talent that constantly fails to break in to
the United first team
As part of the deal Roy Whalley
pointed out that our players who reach a "required
standard" would interest Man Utd. Coaches from the school of
excellence will also be visiting Man United's training complex and staff
from the two clubs will meet regularly.
Will this make us the envy of all
Nationwide Clubs, or is this the start of the Nursery Club syndrome in
English Football?
The club stress it is not a nursery
club set up, but will we ever produce a talent that could make us millions
in the transfer market if Man United are there and ready to pick him up
while he is still in his teens.
On the other hand, in the current
climate is it wise to shy away from such a deal when we stand no chance of
making millions from a player unless he is outstanding.
Then again, will may able to compete
with the likes of Villa and Albion when it comes to attracting young
players to the club, because they will have the chance to impress people
from United?
Could a constant stream of young and
promising talent propel us up the league table to mid table mediocrity? Or
will the constant revolving door that could appear disrupt the team
What about if a youngster makes a
name for himself at the Saddlers, United agree to let him leave - for a
fee - We cant pay it - Someone else comes along and snaps him up?
Are we selling our soul to the Devil
Plenty of questions - The answers
will be provided as the season progresses.
