Kane Thompson-Sommers currently on tv playing for Hereford in the Cup.

[jonwoozley]

Kane Thompson Somers proves he wasn't good enough to wear a Woking shirt, playing for Hereford and losing the ball that concedes an equaliser.

[Old Woking United]

Occasional loanee Spasi Spasov totally anonymous for Banbury at Farsley.

And of course he then scores!

I meant “played”.

Neither Fernandes or Amartey spoke to me on this day two years ago, or any other day.

Which of our wide options - RGC, Korboa, Daly, Lofthouse or Johnson - would you get rid of to make a space? Decent enough player but he wouldn't get close to the current squad

This always happens with academy graduates. Their ability and worth is massively inflated because of a bias that doesn’t equate to reality. Several posters on here were claiming we should give Hamblin a lengthy contract and he should be in ahead of Casey, after one cross!

SS always looked a talented player, but clearly someone who needed games. He was never going to get that with us - so he’s dropped a level and is now doing well. Whether he will ever get up to this league or above (see Reggie Young) is still in a mystery.

How many Academy players have we had near the squad not utilised and then gone onto better things?

I can only think of Ollie Palmer. He didn't get games because we had Gez, Gray, Hammond and Cowan-Hall at the time

The only others to have played at a a higher level than we were playing at the time would be Ross Worner (sold) Joe Mc and Gez Sole (left on a Bosman after several years service).

Anyone else?

Not sure if it counts but Chris Hussey was in our academy at one stage and has gone onto have a solid EFL career. Currently at Stockport.

The most recent example is Jayden Wareham (did get a handful of games ofc) who is playing on loan at Leyton Orient at the top of League 2.

Charlie Carter - moved onto Chesterfield at top end NL then into EFL2 with Satanage, now back at Eastleigh mid-table NL

Palmer also had that ridiculous Twitter spat with Adam Newton where he proclaimed himself to be the future and Newton the past, causing other first-team players like Jack King to jump in and tell him to stop being such a dick. Don't think that helped his chances of staying...

[Nonsense Potter]

Didn’t Palmer have to drop a level (Havant?) to get game time to develop?

[Lurker]

Yes, I think Garry Hill said at the time they'd paid us a bit of money. Of course, it was while he was at Havant that Chelsea began their relentless pursuit of him...

[doylie]

Ben Gerring (on Twitter) says that he was released by Weymouth this morning - by text message.

Ex loanee Louis Britton set to be announced as a yeovil player in the coming days

Unlucky for them

[celtic card]

Ben Dempsey's Ayr Utd currently live on the BBC Sport website. One up at half time, top of the table.

[CardsWFC]

Louis Britton officially signs for Yeovil it’s getting to the point I’m starting to feel sorry for them
