That's disappointing.

Thankfully we managed to keep hold of Tashan Oakley-Boothe who also had other clubs circling, losing both would've been a real blow.

So does that mean he has signed on a scholarship with Cheatski insteadi? He's too young for a pro contract isn't he? So are wages the driver here (even at scholarship/development level)? It can't be progression prospects. Sorry if these are stupid questions, I'm not clear on how this all works. I thought there was some sort of 'gentleman's agreement' amongst PL clubs not to poach each other's academy players until they get to pro-contract stage? Or maybe that's just a myth?

He'll have signed a scholarship(which are fixed wages across the country as far as I know) initially but with a guaranteed pro deal for when he turns 17 and that could be on any amount.

Thanks. There is no doubt they do have a very good academy, but not a good reputation for bringing players all the way through the ranks. I hope he does manage to achieve whatever his dream is.
 
IIRC he was photoed training with the first team earlier this year.

It's a kick in the teeth to the club and all those in the setup. Hopefully this will just be a rare case and not something that happens too often.
