Academy and Youth

Renny Smith (Arsenal youngster) has rejected Fulham to sign for Bologna. Presumably wanted him for u21 team.

Della Verde has joined Fleetwood.

U21's lost 2-0 to Maidenhead. A new center back called Jens played.

That may have been Moritz Jenz who played for our U16's last season I believe

..also, unless I missed it, I find it very odd that Della-Verde's release was not mentioned by the club but all others were

It was Moritz, came on for Casasola who I was not impressed by. Moritz for a 16 year old looked quite assured in what was a very young U21 team.

I had noticed that too about Della-Verde's release. Did the same happen with Tom Richards?

It appears that way, he signed for Aldershot but I don't think the club mentioned it

Crikey.

Hopefully the u21's get to sign a few players even if it so that they aren't hammered every week.

One player I've seen progressing through the ranks is Stevie Humphrys, pretty decent striker, scores for fun with U21s now, previously did for U18s. Signed from Burnley 2 years(?) ago. Definite prospect

Apart from him signing from Bury, not Burnley, you're right. He reminds me of Dennis Bergkamp, he's got great technique for a bigger player. One to watch for sure.

I really hope this doesn't happen but just got a message from someone whos close to Bettinelli who said his move to Chelsea could be back on

Hew Jennings must be in despair! Lost Roberts and potentially losing Bets, Dembele and Hynmdan. 

[mike_corkcity12]

Noe Baba on trial at Birmingham. They love our youngsters, signed McDonald off of us last season! I think that was in exchange for Nabay though. No word on Sambou.

I posted this today on viva El Fulham  about the pre season games and players

Sol Sambou is on trial with Bolton.

Ange Freddy Plumain is training with a French club.

Mesca signs for Cyprus club - http://www.kerkida.net/articles/a-katigoria/eidiseis/ael/116911-galazokitrinos-o-meska

[Jamie88]

Shame if Plumain will leave - I know he is not going to turn into a world-beater, but I liked what I saw when I watched him. Felt that he could have offered a reasonable back up on the wing

[mike_corkcity12]

DJ Buffoon going to Utd apparently.
