It seems that the senior staff at our academy will all be leaving. No doubt Jonker is bringing in his own people. I'm excited for the future, to see which of the youngsters will get into the team.

It's a difficult one. Leeds need to try and take the creative burden off McCormack as he's expected to create and score everything. Aneke wouldn't be able to play in CM for Leeds as he's too lazy - although there's already the ex-Crewe captain, Luke Murphy in central midfield. Perhaps he could act as a withdrawn striker, playing as McCormack's strike partner, providing the aerial threat and taking some of the creative burden off McCormack, but he won't solve the main issue with the team - the lack of pace.MutableEarth said:Leeds are after Aneke. How would he fit in, SiMamu?

Brave lad. Hope he does well.MutableEarth said:Chuks Aneke has left the club. He's made a surprise move to Zulte Waragem of Belgium. If they qualify, he will also play in the Europa League. Strange move IMO as he had a number of Championship clubs after him, but it's also a brave move that could work. Few English players even bother playing abroad.

Wow, you'd put Maitland-Niles on the same level as Crowley? Exciting.
Arsenal have raided Barcelona to sign exciting Germany youth international Georgios Spanoudakis.
The 15-year-old, who was highly-rated in Barca’s famed La Masia academy setup, rejected a host of other offers to seal a move to the Emirates Stadium this week.
A cultured central midfielder with an eye for a pass, Spanoudakis joined Barca in 2009 from Eintracht Frankfurt and has since played for the Catalan club’s various youth teams.
He has been capped for Germany at Under-15 and Under-16 level but is also eligible to play for Greece, with some suggestions that their FA has already been in touch about transferring his nationality in the future.
Spanoudakis will join Arsenal’s Under-18 team for the new season but is seen as a real prospect for the future.
