Toon Scout Watching The Championship!

He has apparently been been checking on two Championship prospects.

Sheffield Wednesday's 18-year-old centre-half Mark Beevers, and Crystal Palace's 17-year-old striker Sean Scannell.

So that has obviously allerted the rest of the Premiersip, I'm sure.

What happened to the days when it was all cloak and dagger? They slipped yer dad a week's beer money, gave yer mam a £25 Marks & Sparks gift voucher, and had you signed up for a tenner a week?

Those were the days.

Beevers was this week called up into the England Under-19s squad, while Scannell signed a new two-and-a-half year contract early this year to ward off interest from a number of Premier League clubs, notably Arsenal.
