The news just gets better and better !!!
West Brom forward Louie Barry is set to join Barcelona, according to Sky Sports.

The 15-year-old has been in prolific form for England U16s, scoring 10 goals in 5 games.

He turns 16 later this month which could see him secure a move to the Spanish giants.

So much for the academy
Going abroad now means we get around 260 k ??

Good luck to lad, but how that's going to help him long term I find it difficult to believe.
We will always be at risk of losing any of our bright stars, but we do fill our first team with players that came through other
clubs academies? That's football, we have chances to play our youngsters and fail to stand by them and then let them go.
Making and losing Darren has been a major issue. Did Jenkins not understand making a club cult hero, who is worshiped 
by the youngsters the manager and then dismissing him would destroy club loyalty. Probably never crossed his mind ? 
Looking back Darren should never have been made manager? 
We now have Dowling saying "Trust me" - i'm sorry but he has ruined his own reputation with a sack the backroom
staff gaff. No manager for months, nobody making decisions, we do appear to be in a race to the bottom 
Apologies if it's negative, but we have little to cheer about atm.
