Three Luton Players Signed

Accepting money to make profit our of their own children isn't what I call "okay".

This is an opportunity for their kids to play in one of the best and one of the most modern academy of this country. Every parents out there would love this happening for their own kid(s). Wouldn't your parents be happy if the best University of your country would come knock to your to door in order to offer you a place in their ranks ?

Meh its what Barcelona do all the time. They scout players from all over Catalonia which is far bigger than Greater London which is where our scouting network is mainly based. Some Barca players leave their parents at 16 and live at La Masia so we are hardly depriving them of a childhood like at Barcelona. Except what Barcelona do is teach the young players a distinct brand of football and only loan them out to clubs in the Catalonian region with which they have special links. We on the other hand will probably ship this lot over to Vitesse Arnhem ASAP where they will play 3 times and then rot in our youth and reserve ranks before buggering off back to Luton or a League 2 club. Gourlay won't care though because its all £££££ for the club.

God, these lads we are talking about are just kids! Parents should not just care about the children's future but also about the present! As I said, Idk if they'll move to London or if they will be commeting between Luton and London. What I wanted to say is that it's not good for a child if it has to leave its friends and surroundings where it has grown up!

Sure, they would accept the offer, but it's not the same if a 17 years-old leaves his family and everything else to study somewhere miles away from home, or if a young kid at the age of 12/13 leaves everything behind him.

Seriously though, those kids are still 12, who knows what our club's policies would be like in about 8 years? I think we should have a bit more optimism.
