Academy Future Stars - Where Are They Now?

Impeazu (spelling?) has been doing well at Wycombe over the last few months, maybe he might be worth taking a look at, as he might finally be showing the potential he had as a youngster when we signed him.

He might possibly be worth a punt as he would not cost much and if he does come good he would have a decent sell on value too.

 

Lol.

 

Good old Moog

 

Ik.

 

Excellent trolling over the last few days but this is brilliant

 

I think it's more likely he'll end up at Lincoln than come back to us

 

If you look at the top 10 juniors in tennis and look at how many transfer to the top 10 in the adult game it is tiny.
Hingis is the standout,won Roland Garros U 18 at 12 and then had a great career as an adult before the Williams sisters and Sharapova simply out hit her.
Tsitsipas was a top junior,Auger Aliassime and Rublev too but the majority struggle to make an impact. Many don't get past 300 in the rankings,still no mean feat.
'Many a slip...' etc and it's so hard to make the transition from junior to pro sport.
Size,fitness,luck and a very strong mentality are needed in large quantities.

 

He's awful. You know you're not a great football player when your wikipedia entry says

"Ikpeazu is an athletic 6 ft 3 in (1.91 m) forward who possesses pace and power but sometimes struggles with ball control."
