Andrade and Sendles-White released

[Shania]

I thought both were hot prospects for the future? Obviously not.. Hmm.

[JJB]

Us realising them doesn't mean they wont make it... Chances our they will both go on to utter world beaters!

[march56]

i have seen bruno andrade play he looked half decent bit lightweight but surprised he has been released.
not seen sendles-white play but by all accounts was a good player with lots of potential

[3London]

real shame had hi hopes for both.

Sendles-white played in the pre season games .played at international level. and made the bench and then just disappeared maybe he got a bad injury

[Timmy the Doc]

Just highlights the level of our EDS.

While I myself live in Canada now, I have a good friend back there who goes along regularly to watch the youngsters play. In his opinion the 'cupboard is bare', no one even remotely knocking on the first team door. Hopefully he is wrong and/or that changes quickly. Right now tho' the signs do not appear all that good, again, in his opinion. All too depressing right now !

[RoryTheRanger]

Andrade has been "knocking on the door" for ages. Chances are he'll be signed by Stevenage in the summer after his loan there, which is about his level realistically.

As for Sendles-White, never seen the guy play but they'll be letting him go for a reason.

Think it's better to focus on who it is Les and Ramsey actually want to keep hold of. Really hoping Harriman and Sutherland sign the deals that have been offered. Sutherland will I imagine, being a QPR fan after all. Harriman I'm not so sure about, I think he really wants to stay at Luton

[hertranger]

Andrade struggled to get games at Stevenage, spent majority of the time on the bench. Lower league 1/league 2 is probably his level.

[nasser95]

Played with andrade once at harlington, along with a few others in our promotion season. He was much better than me but like, seriously no where near the quality of anyone half decent professionally.

[westsussexranger]

swear andrade (like doughty and ehmer) has been a 'promising' youngster for the past 4 years

[stationcafe]

It's make or break time in Andrade's career now, feels like he's been around forever but hasn't done much.

Hope the board don't put too much faith in our youth system for this season, it needs a few years of nurturing before anything comes from it. Know a few lads who play/played for our youth sides and with the greatest respect they are no any good. League 1/2 level at best. The local talent is there, we just need the coaching infrastructure. Hopefully in 5 years things have changed.

[ArcticHoop]

Andrade's situation reminds me a little bit of Angelo Balanta. Where is Balanta now anyway?

[Shania]

Bristol Rovers^^

[maidstone_hoop]

The good news Though was we retained 4 youth players including furlong on a 2 yr deal.

[HoopDoggyDogg]

We wouldn't release youngsters unless we were really sure that they didn't have a future for us.
Remember that Dean Parrett that went to Spurs as a youngster, he was meant to go onto great things but failed at Spurs, then ended up at many league 1 clubs from then on.
I think he is at Stevenage now.
