It's well reported Barcelona want him, not many would turn their advances down. Dortmund & Bayern Munich also very interested from abroad. 

I am slightly ITK on this as a good friends son is one of his mates at school & a club much closer to home are now also pushing & that's my fear for where he will end up.

I hope I am wrong & he signs what is offered.

Thanks for the info.  Worrying, if true.

Not really worrying is it. Not much we can do.

Rules need changing.

Well, it's worrying that our future stars could be cherry-picked by our near neighbours.  I can accept losing young players to the likes of Barcelona, but not the Wolves and Villa ...

Fairly obvious that Villa will be all over our best Academy players with Harrison going there.

As M'Galea says, there's nothing we can do to stop it. Money talks & we haven't got much.

Losing Harrison to villa is bigger than people realise. Not just in the short term with him knowing our best youngsters and their contract situations but in the longer term Harrison's local connections with clubs and scouts have been the envy of Villa and Wolves for a good while.

The only hope is we can hang on to the equally brilliant Hopcroft to take over.
