Popular Post chartpolski 27,465 Posted June 20 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 20 Well, I must be the proudest grand dad in the world at the moment ! We got a call last night telling us our 10 year old grandson has had a trial for PSG , and he’s been accepted into their Academy in the Middle East for a 10 month intensive coaching course that could lead to a scholarship in Paris ! Very early days yet , but I’m as proud as Punch ! Cheers. 19 11 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I said I a previous post that he is fluent in English and Arabic and was learning French. I know there is a very VERY high attrition in trainee footballers, but he is a very focused young lad. Early days, who knows, PSG might do all the hard work, then I get him to sign for Newcastle ! LOL ! Cheers. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They are moving on from signing super star players at the end of their careers and now going for younger players with potential . My grandson did a months course here with FA and UEFA coaches and they were pleased with him and he picked up player of the week award. Who knows what will happen when he hits puberty ? LOL ! He may go in a completely different direction when girls come on the scene ! Cheers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Long way to go mate, only a very VERY small percentage make the grade, but he’s got his foot on the first rung of the ladder. Cheers. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He will get all the support I can give but as I’ve said, there’s a very high attrition with young footballers. Cheers. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
