How the hell did we get nearly £9m for Arvin Appiah?

Because he was about 12 and had the Ollie Burke factor and found someone to pay a silly amount.

not complaining

I didn't realise that both Cafu and Appiah were at Rotherham.
Surprised about Cafu, thought he was a good player and would go to a better club. I liked him as a player so hopefully a better Championship club will take him on. As for Appiah it is nice knowing we screwed somone for that transfer fee, we should be docked points for that outrageous bit of fraud !

At one point apparently academy staff were undecided as to who'd go further between he and Johnson. Funny thing youth development - you get some amazing youth players who don't make the grade and some you wouldn't think we're special that do (while he's always had the mentality I doubt there are similar stories about how far Yates would go for example).

Ethan Dekel was meant to be the next good thing, what happened to him?

Went back to the states I think. Zach Abbot was one talked about, and Kristian Clarke got that wrote up in one of the papers as a top prospect. Never straightforward though...

Zach is still only a kid - he has a bit of the worrall about him (not just being a tall blond lad) so he might make it.

I knew Ethan went to the US - which kind of proved the point really that even though he's what, 22/23 now, he's nowhere near the professional structure here. His background is from Israel though not the USA. (It's Mighten who was born there)

I've seen Abbot play - wasn't impressed but the lad Fewster stuck out that night - He's gone now and didn't cut it in a loan. There was decent centre back too I thought would do well - he's up in Scotland.

Finn Back was the one I had real hopes for, but injuries haven't helped. Be interesting to see how far he can go - like BJ he'll have the mentality drilled in from his old man. That's where the comparisons end really, though I thought he's make championship level.

Tough bringing youth through at this level. Can't see that run of games lasting that much longer.

Saw Finn Back play at Newport last season he was very impressive but as you say injuries have derailed his progress.

Remember when Birmingham were 6th in the championship after 11 games then sacked the manager and replaced him with Wayne Rooney ?

Well now there in the relegation zone.

Has there ever been a bigger relegation scrap as this season? 8 teams involved for 2 spaces. 9 if you include Swansea who are 5 points clear in 15th.

I see my boy Che has scored today. I've been telling you all we should sign him for ages!

We tried to but our recruitment team is so stupid they signed CHO by mistake.
