I’d be interested to know where our released / ex-loan players end up for next season. Thought I’d set up this post for when anyone gets info or news they can post here. Wish them all well at their new clubs, no one on the list that I was relieved to see go.

Yes it was a bit like the Emperor's New Clothes with Adshead. Everyone at the club was saying what a player he was but we never really saw anything 'wow' in his limited few games for us.
Hill really talked him up didn't he even saying he could be a premier league player.

I mean technically Norwich signed him in June 2019 when they had just been promoted to the Premier League so I guess Hill was half right. He only ever played 2 games for their U21's though.
Its a BRILLIANT goal to cap a BRILLIANT start by Rochdale - Don Goodman 26/08/10

He also featured for England at both U18 and U19 level, scoring at both levels
Despite around 90 appearances as a professional, he's yet to score

If I remember correctly 1 of his England goals was a worldie too. Think he scored for Dale in a Football League Trophy game. Like Matheson,Townson he never went on to fulfill that young potential - thousands of young footballers have had the same story for whatever reason. It takes more than just a lot of talent - that dedication to carry on doing it every day when you think you've already made it.

It also requires physicallity and Athlicism, both Matheson and Adshead had the required skills but unfortunately not the height, pace or power. Teams at the top of the pyramid simply work on the theory that if you start with 10 youths for a particular position with the requisite skills, one of them will perhaps turn out to be a Premiership footballer, or at least someone that can be sold to a championship club for more than the cost of their training and development. Its hugely cynical, the saving grace being that the majority of those going through the system will eventually find a level at which they can earn a living or add decent money to a wage earned outside football. The Peterborough model is similar but they tend to concentrate on finding forwards rather than defenders on the basis that goalscorers are more likely to attract big money deals, they prey on lower league clubs who have to sell talent to survive, We were one of their victims when they took Nevett. Their player turnover is huge but, I guess if you can make two or three million a year by buying and selling players its not a bad business model.
