Yeah that's the biggest positive for me. Reece Oxford has joined Gladbach for the season too. Hope more English youngsters follow suit (not from our academy though!)

Not Emery's Old Pal
All that lacked is for him to have had his signature printed on that obvious statement prepared by his PR team just goes through the motions.
This can go in here as well...

Good news?
Country: Iceland
Reading in transfer rumors that Hinds joined wolfsburg. Good move for him. He is clever player but given the talent in front of him his chances here would always be limited.
Another who move abroad. I think it is a good risk worth of taking for youngsters.

I'd say so. Never got much of a chance to play U23 football and he's quite talented. Shouldn't give up on him yet.
Bennacer and Toral played though. Means they aren't going on tour. Toral IMO will be sold and Bennacer is definitely going on loan soon.
Nelson, Joe Willock, Malen and Nketiah didn't play so they most likely to go. Bramhall didn't play either I don't think. Will hope to see Crawley on tour too, he redeemed himself in Holland. Interesting to see what he does.
It's looking increasingly likely that Toral will be sold. So disappointing but he hasn't progressed as well as we'd have liked. My dream was always for him and Bellerin to come through together.
There's definitely a player in there. Be a shame if we don't see him in pre-season at all.

Saw that we sold Kaylen Hinds for £2/3million, which is a decent fee. Youth development is an avenue for generating revenue that we can certainly improve over the next few years.

We should milk a couple more millions for Chuba than we got for Hinds I guess?
Country: England
Crowley has left the club apparently
We need to ensure these kids are going through the academy with good work ethic and attitude in the future, too many missed talents because of attitude issues.

A real clear out at the club this summer...
This seems to have upset people more than Willock leaving. A shame IMO but I don't think he did quite enough on his loans until his last spell. He will fare well in Holland IMO. I do like this trend of our academy talents moving abroad, as England isn't good for their development right now.
Good luck to Crowley. He is a very technical talent who perhaps needed to play a smarter game.

Thoughts on Joe Willock?
His brother, Chris tended to be one that was always talked about as a potentially big talent. Joe seems to have snuck under the radar. Being taken on the pre-season tour is an indication that he is highly thought of. What position(s) does he excel in? Does he have a chance of making it in the first-team?

Didnt snuck behind. Just age behind Chris. Joe was very impressive with u-18 last season and earned him self a few u-23 games.
Joe is similar to Chris in some ways - very good technically and skillful. Where he differs is that he's more direct and more of a passer compared to Chris' dribbling. He can definitely still beat players but Chris is arguably one of the best natural dribblers. Joe is also a slightly more powerful runner and player in general.
He's more central than Chris, but can still play on the wing. Could possibly be a CM.
