    We sign 14 year old starlet and piss off Stockport...

    LINKY

    It has emerged that Liverpool have taken 14 year old Ben Robinson, a goalkeeper with a seemingly great future, from County and Jimbo is not impressed at all.

    At the age of 14 he has already been representing the County youth team alongside players such as Greg Tansey and Ryan Crowther who are also wanted by the Merseyside club. The youth team have had an incredible season as they won the Youth Football League Cup and only just missed out on securing the league title.

    It is unfortunate that the big clubs are able to steal youngsters without any worries as the fee will usually be settled by a tribunal. But the clubs don't fear this as the tribunal fee is usually lower than the club would originally ask. This case mirrors Chelsea's illegal capture of Harry Worley, a defender who is also set to have a bright future.

    Jimbo, speaking in the Stockport Express, said: "We have been up front, forthright and professional in all of our dealings with Liverpool, and all the players concerned, but unfortunately this has not been reciprocated."

      I think the term 'steal' is a bit melodramatic, big clubs are always going to snatch up young talent if possible. The lad doesn't have to join us but obviously sees it as the best move for himself, it's not like he's on a big wage and we've screwed County out of a big player. He may yet fail to make the grade.

                        not really sure whats really gone on but i am in favour of protection for smaller clubs when it concerns young players.

                          Is it against EU law to have a release clause in junior contracts, that way the selling club can get a set fee that they want and not rely on the tribunal? i know that under 17 year olds cant be held to a contract but im sure with some work it should be able to be brought in and also please the EU people at the same time as you have signed the contract and no one has forced you at gunpoint to do so, so you made your choice.
                          You learn nothing reading signatures.

                            I've seen the lad play and he's big and athletic which is mostly what they look for in keepers nowadays. It's amazing that a 14 year old goalkeeper is already taller than our Number 1 back in the 60s, Tommy Lawrence, but that's life, eh...
