Donovan Wilson has signed for Wolves! Oh no ! Not happy about this - very talented centre forward. A consequence of being in The Conf ?? No he would of gone if we were in L2 |

Don't think it would have mattered what league we're in; Wolves are a big club and any side in the Prem or Championship that want to sign an academy/youth player from a lower league club will inevitably get them.

Don't really see the use of an academy at our level. We just train up kids for some bigger club to use and pay us nothing.

But we still get paid, probably money we need, and some of the ones who don't leave come through including Lockyer and Clarke.

But isnt he old enough that they cant just poach him ? A fee needs agreeing ? I thought it was only under 16s or those on youth terms ?

Despite everything I'll be sad when/if Brunt goes. He gave everything he had for us, even paid for his own treatment to get over that doozy of an injury. Really believe the oft-sighted on here view that we should stick by players that give their all for the club and I hope if he goes he'll be able to play decent football at a lower level.

He's a Bristolian and you never got to see him wear the Rovers shirt - he is a very good finisher and quick ! Once scored 5 goals in a game v Fulham U16s. We have now lost Santos, Ollie Mehew, Marcus Beauchamp and now Donovan before they ever got to play first team footy (not Santos) - sad to see ! |

DC confirmed last night that Donovan's agent had told him that the player would not sign a new contract with BRFC at the end of the season.
Apparently we have been offered a good settlement with "add on's" so we had little choice then let him go now as opposed to a tribunal at the end of the season.

I wonder if we were in L2 or L1 whether Donovan would turn down the chance to become a Rovers first team player - same goes for Beauchamp and Mehew ? Has anyone replaced Tom Curtis as Academy Manager - not heard anything ?? In the last few years we have managed to get our youth set up to the standard it should be - but I fear until we get our league status back - we won't be seeing anymore Mabbutts and Holloways breaking into the first team. |
