Neil. Having been employed in the game for 40+ years I do understand the benefit of having a good reliable keeper. The problem was that your post got certain people on here expecting a finished article, whereas in reality there are 100's of keepers out there of a similar standing to this boy.
C of E, Academies release kids like this every year, some go on to proce them wrong while others go from club to club before they eventually find a level that suits them. Really hope the boy does well, but dont heap pressure on him it is hard enough.
