Hey @Lilywhite Rose do you know the status of Dante Orr?
Very difficult player to find out any info on Dante Orr. No social media presence or known agent.

Last came on for 17 mins vs Liverpool on 3rd September an u18 PL cup match. Not made any squads since.

Next years scholarship Intake I have been able to confirm so far as:

Warren - GK
Archer - GK
Logan - CB - From Ipswich
Adelusi - CB
Adekunle - CB
James - WF - From Man City
Lehane - ST

Offers made to Moore and Olusesi - No decision as yet.

That's interesting because Brentford only started their academy back again at the start of this season and its rated category 4 which is the lowest you can get and operates more like the Glenn Hoddle Academy model than a typical academy.
More than likely he has signed for their B team set up, rather than the academy, so likely to have a longer contract set up for once he turns 15.

lots of kids want to go to Brentford as their model is pretty impressive

Hopefully they sign. Moore could be sensational with the right coaching and exposure to games above his age level

Genuinely, what is the point of the academy these days?

We never give these players a chance to play for the first team and if they turn out decent they just end up leaving in search of first-team football.

Feel bad for the players/coaches down there.

The connection between the academy and the first team just seems totally broken. Trotting out players like Lucas who are not only not offering anything but we also know are leaving rather than giving a prospect a chance just seems totally non-sensical. Devine will be next to go and Moore will he shortly after. Another part of the club that needs major surgery.

Nah lets play Moura in the first team instead
I'm sure the coaches justify it to themselves somehow but the preference for Moura over younger talent over the last three and a half years is just obnoxiously bad. We have a crystal clear picture of what Moura is going to offer and its abysmal. Can you imagine if Jose had got his way and we'd signed Adama Traore as well. My eyes are bleeding just imagining it.

Devine contracted until 2027 and will go on loan next season.

Would just take the leaking of the Mundle news to Romano with a pinch of salt at this stage. Not sure where the negotiations with Spurs and Mundle representatives are and it could be a case of trying to get a better deal out of Spurs.
