Dylan Mottley-Henry didn't overly impress me at Stalybridge. Quick he may be but he wasted too many crosses. Early days though so let's give him a chance. Don't expect to see him in the first team though. Likewise Kebbie - will be behind Bree, Yiadom and Scowen
It does say on the website they've both been signed to go into the development squad on 6 months deals.
From memory they've done that a few times in the past with players signed directly into the development squad. So yes, guessing they are unsure and protecting the down side.
6 months seems odd though - if Kebbie does well will he be off like Wabara? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Have we ever had a development squad signing move up? We seem to sign loads of ex premier academy kids or bright young conference kids for development squad and we pay them a year or so and then release them. Remember signing ones from Newcastle and Liverpool and never seeing them kick a ball in a first team warm up. Hope these boys Buck the trend
True. Then released him after a year. So the first one that breaks through, makes himself a 1st teamer we release for nothing. Seems like something is wrong. We must have been able to get a couple of hundred grand for a top L1 fullback....
I doubt he'll play for the first team much in the first 6 months. If he does well in the development squad, we might then give him another 1.5-2.5 years thus making him more secure at Oakwell On the other hand if he's awful, he can leave in January, and we won't have lost anything
