Not exactly a rumour, but... Noah Smerdon, 18 year old left back/midfielder currently at Gloucester City. He started out at West Brom but supposedly turned down a scholarship there and joined Gloucester in 2017. Made his 1st XI debut in April 2018 and has played for England Under-18s, captaining them on his third appearance. He has recently spent a week training with Watford so presumably with an eye to sign for the development squad if he impressed at all. https://www.gloucestershirelive.co..../gloucester-city-prospect-spends-week-2180454 https://www.gloucestershirelive.co....ews/gloucester-citys-former-west-brom-2193757
West Brom to Gloucester - seems like a natural step up in level to me. Of course, whether or not he can make the Big Jump Up to us is anyone's guess...
He scores goals 2 by 2 He hasn't played for 40 days and 40 nights He's got a flood of clubs interested
Noah Smerdon? Sounds like he should come from Barnsley as in I’ve done owt, I was down t’feathers wit Noah Smerdon.
England Schools Under-18s... that's a huge difference. For the record, the actual current captain of England Under-18s is James Garner of Man Utd.
Because of the restrictive health and safety measures inflicted by lefties and the EU, our schools are not able to practice using a football and so the standard may well be lower.
Surely, you would have to say 'I've done nowt' or 'I've not done owt'? Usage of 'owt' is similar to that of 'anything'. Horace may be able to shine a linguistic torch on this.

The pessimist in me likes to anticipate the away day experience post Pozzo. A little forward planning.
Without question gurls can play football. Just rarely any of those chosen to participate in the half time shoot out.
It's counter intuitive that, whilst Deeney, a powerful pro footballer, takes his penalties from 12 yards, the schoolkids of Little Gaddesden or similar, spot up from 12 1/2 yards. Maybe this is why the ball doesn't always roll as far as the line, let alone defeat the catlike custodian.
Maybe TD9 should take the half time pens vs Kieren, aged 11, from Abbots Langley. Morale boosting for Troy, exciting for the Rookery & will keep the St John's Ambulance gang on their toes.
If you are reading this, Noah, I hope all went well during your training week. Please ignore all posts, especially mine. Except this one.
Yep, my mistake. I just had a look at the page I got the information from and managed to totally miss the word 'schools' when reading it. Thanks for picking up on it.
This thread should be locked. I keep clicking on it thinking there will be news we've signed this wonderkid. Instead it's you lot punning. Boooo.
If the heat is getting too much for you in the comedy kitchen then maybe you should consider joining the Gloucester Bugle forum to keep up with developments.
