Underage squads: Best Prospects

U21 player Jack Taylor signs for Peterborough. Looks a right prospect. Hasnt had much gane time with 21s but some of the goals hes scored are outrages.

It's gas how he moves for half a million quid, while players leave LOI clubs for pittance.

It would be based on his contract, which would be more secure than LOI contracts, and the fact he already has forty or fifty games in the football league. It is far less of a risk for Peterborough and his security at Barnet would mean they would need to be reimbursed.

Until LoI clubs starting tying down young players to long-term 3-4 years contracts they never going to be in the strongest position to negotiate a decent fee. Also until LOI players stop being so hit and miss and show the standard of player to be of a more consistent quality they wont get a decent fee. Pat Hoban and  Graham Burke  stood out here but couldn't hack championship, l1 or l2. Likes of Doyle and Coleman did well as did Long. Then there is the likes of Horgan and Roy O'Donovan who while steady enough they didnt meet expectations, prove value for money and moved on without doing anything spectacular after either. Peterborough know the conference in a tough league and a lot of teams that go up to lge 2 go on to be promoted again within a year or 2, when relegated most teams struggle to get promoted straight away and a lot struggle in conference.

Came close to making the breakthrough on a few occasions but never quite happened for him. Wonder will he come back to Ireland or drop down to L1 or L2? His previous loans weren't great but started season well, 7 apps 2 gls and an assist but just faded out of the picture for whatever reason I think he’s born in England. Saw some rumours linking him with Bristol Rovers, but I would love to see him take a chance in the LOI

The twice winner of pne's scholar of the year award has had very limited opportunity at PNE. A move back to the LOI or there's a mention of a rumoured move to Bolton Wanderers would help him kick start his professional career.
