Liam Gibbs staying? on 09:52 - Jun 18 with 2268 views | Pinewoodblue | Guess we just have to make it financially worth his while to stay. Real test for Ashton & Co. If he doesn’t sign we get peanuts by way of compensation. If he does sign we have a high value asset. Get the impression he wants to learn from Kieron Dyer. Let’s hope Town make it happen. | |

Which is a crazy situation when you think about it. | |

If he's a good as people reckon we should give him a decent contract, even if we are ultimately going to sell him. Just to ensure a decent fee. I mean if we extend Kayden's contract in the hope of getting a fee, giving a contract to someone whose actually really good seems like common sense. | |

Some (slightly old) figures about the amount of peanuts here. (Cresswell is one of the examples.) https://fullcontactlaw.co.uk/2016/11/compensation-players-24-mystery/ But on the other hand, a club may be prepared pay quite a sizeable fee for an academy player. | | | |

Best player in one of the best U18s teams in the country. I honestly can't fathom why any club in our position wouldn't be absolutely desperate to make sure he stays. Might as well shutter the academy if we aren't, tbh. | |

Seems like the focus has shifted and rather than looking to sign quality footballers with good ability, big physical lads who are athletes is the name of the game. | |

Is he? From what I saw in the FA Youth Cup run he was far from the stand out (I'd say that was Baggott). But then lots who have seen him a lot more than I have say good things about him, so what do I know?! | |

All subjective, but I thought he was class in the cup run - composed, creative, technically gifted. General consensus is that he's the star of that team, too. | |

Interesting but not relevant. Read last sentence of first paragraph again “This is not to be confused with training compensation under the EPPP regime (that applies to Academy players), an entirely different proposition.” | |

Maybe I'm confused. Gibbs is a professional player, no? (Just one who has not yet made it into the first team much.) https://www.eadt.co.uk/sport/gibbs-sign-pro-deal-with-ipswich-2633168 [Post edited 18 Jun 2021 12:47]

Smells as if his agent just getting his value up. Do we know how serious the 'big' club interest is? | | | |

Are we one of the best teams in the country? Having a good Cup run is not really a good barometer. Even the Dark Lord got us to a cup semi! | |
