Wilson Carvalho - Nike Academy

[nodge]

19 year old winger, had spells at Fulham and Stevenage.

Currently contracted to Nike Academy, who report he's having a trial with us.

I'd assume again, this kid is lined up for the development squad

"Fresh from a strong performance against Barça, Wilson Carvalho is on trial with Port Vale."

 

Now those are the kind of headlines I could get used to! :D

Who's working through the summer then? I would have thought everyone was on holiday.. Is Micky having anything to do with the development squad or is Page over seeing it??

[cheeky]

I would imagine George Foster(?) is heavily involved with this.

Got to be Foster, pretty much the same thing he did for Stoke back in 2007

Let's hope Glover isn't involved, otherwise we'll probably see Danny signed up and getting picked every game!

Can't understand us with this development team, surely most of them are from outside our patch?

I think the rules have changed for academies, but this is post academy is it not?

That lad looks a class act and appears comfortable on the ball with both feet.

Hard to tell from short clips like that if he is a class act but i agree he looks comfortable using both feet(which is quite rare these days) and looks like he can play on either wing or in defence,this development squad is taking shape well.

 

I am sure the first team will take shape too when Adams is back.

[The French Connection]

It's brilliant to see the club getting in a raft of young players like this. What a feeling, the Club is going in the right direction at last!

I was being sarcastic mate, relating to V2001's reign!
