Is Pardew supportive. I ask because I gained the impression from his time at Newcastle that they weren't bringing many of their own through which is sad since youth football is so strong up there. Its a mixed blessing at times this Premier league stuff because it is fun watching the kids come through

I don't think Pardew has much to do with the academy at all. Neither did Pulis or Warnock, but that's because they are all first team managers. I doubt Gray & Boateng would have been on the bench if he didn't have any interest in the academy though. Suspect someone else would have been called to fill the gaps.
Have a slightly amusing anecdote about Pardew and the academy in a feature on two academy players coming soon.

Both seasons have seen management changes, with the first manager under loads of pressure. If we stay around this season, keep our manager and continue to build the squad, we might see upper/mid table stability, and the opportunity to give some youngsters some playing (sub) try-outs. |

Think he went off the boil a bit and got a couple of injuries, maybe got a bit complacent? Think he's working his way back into it now and he's still very young, been around since he was 15 i think, i could be wrong

It is of course a career and a relatively short one for these lads so they have to do what is best for them. Loads of lads jump around the Academies. Always have. Arsenal got Gibbs from Wimbledon Academy. We got current U18s CB O'Dwyer who had just signed a pro deal from Reading 2 years ago. We got Inniss and Binnom-Williams from Fisher Athletic Academy. All pro clubs are very quick to release players when they no longer think they will be good enough. We've released a fair few from out U16s and U18s in the last few weeks. Loyalty cannot be a one way street. |

Allassani is 19 now. Sadly struggled with step up to mens football. Still very slight and gets knocked off ball very easily. Had been only sub for U21s a lot but been starting a few of their games now and showing tentative signs of starting to get to grips with physical needs of game a little. Still a long way to go. Reminds me of ex Academy lad who was a star when young but struggled physically with mens football in James Dayton. Club ran out of patience and released him and was not until he was early 20s that he was ready physically and played in the Scottish Prem.
Injuries have sadly put Gus Sow so far behind that I think his time at Palace will very soon come to an end. |

If done sensibly it is crucial to clubs of our standing, and if players like Egbo is as good as "Woosie" says, then we need to make every effort to hold on to them by making every effort to encourage them into staying. |

Should have signed egbo up at 16! Guess he is thinking why sign at palace go out on loan play 21's no chance of getting into first team in the prem at the moment get released in a couple of years time saying he has gone down hill or he developed a bad attitude, this boy is by far the stand out player we have got european u17 champion and we havent got him signed up yet its a blow to the
academy if he does not sign. Sign him up gary.

You can't sign the lads on a pro deal until they are 17.

It would be good if we could get Gary Issott to comment on the situation.

I'm not really sure why he would want to, or what the point would be.

I think he was one of the standby players for just one England squad. Probably about the best man to man marker we've had at the club. Also remember him playing well and scoring in a midfield role when we had players missing in one game!

More chance of me signing for Palace than that happening. Which is totally fair as well. Not something he should be commenting on.
