We should start putting a minimum height requirement on our prospective recruits like they used to do with the police. We need some height in our team!

Either that or make the players wear tall helmets...

The academy appears to have a revolving door, looks like Stevens is on his way to Harrogate. Hasn't worked out for the lad, shame really.

Showing you age 46, no longer the case that police officers need to be 6ft, just proportional. Doubt if Warwick Davis could get in the Met but times have changed and being below average height is no longer a disqualifying factor.

I'm fully aware of that - that's why I said "used to do with the police"

Mind you, "leedsfanfor46years" is a bit of a give away as well. 😕

47 is not old at all,

I maybe need to get a life but Bate at £1.5m+add ons is our 55th highest transfer fee in and the most expensive fee for a teenager.
Seems a lot of money.

Very highly rated within our academy

Should give making the jump to full PL pro a good go at the least

Livramento is a RB, and we already have Drameh, so its not a position we need another young player. The fee is fine. Similar fee to Greenwood.

Right midfield who can play right back I read, but Chelsea's academy player of the season last year.

Tino was viewed as the prospect most likely to be able to have a crack at the first team if he stayed

Bate was the other big hope from that age group but the plan for him no doubt included a couple of loans whereas there was a feeling Tino could have been put in the squad

RWB, but more a RB than a RW. Besides, he will probably be a first teamer at Brighton, whereas Bate won't be for us.

It what it is

I don’t blame any of them for thinking they have a better chance outside of Chelsea

The prospect of making it into the first team squad isnt the same as when Lamps took over and there was a transfer ban
