[Update 39] Hercules re youngsters and CE.

[Tucker]

Who: Hercules
When: 11th July
Where: SC

So much activity with sealed lips behind closed doors. The well under 21 player is expected to happen, it is a tricky situation at present. RM not showing the eagerness either financially, or otherwise for CE. He has a deadline which is very close now, to commit. And I won’t go further on that. All the other plausibles & possibles, coming out of the media arm of RM, is deliberate leaks, with little enhancement on truth to move out some of their players to us.

Our targets are rigid and firm, and you know this already. And from what I am hearing, we won’t divert spending our funds elsewhere, until we satisfy all I have stated regarding ‘targets’. There is no panic from our end.

Quite a few of our young potential academy kids we are aiming to loan out to the right clubs. This pre-season is key for Troy Parrot, as he may become integral part of first team squad.

Just to add, we are getting quoted 25m plus sterling equivalent for 18 year olds, that can be argued if they are better than Troy. Expect totally different playing formation this season?
