Would be pointless buying another 28 year old regardless of how good they are. By the time we've gotten rid of the deadwood and our young talents are mature enough to compete for big trophies, we'd be having to replace them.
I think this will come with experience. Teenagers usually play within themselves a little due to nerves or fear of making mistakes but we've definitely seen glimpses that he has the ability to make those more difficult longer passes.
Also, he's...
Probably a good thing Mainoo isn't getting called up. He's putting up a lot of minutes for his age which always makes me nervous from a long term perspective. Last thing we want is another Pedri situation on our hands where he was made play every...
Cheers - thought he was a good bit older than he is to be fair so puts a different shine on things alright knowing he's U14. Good sign all the same. Even McNeill could come good later in his career i.e. mid twenties. Hard at the top for those fox...
Anyone know what age group he's playing in? Is he always this prolific. Feel like I've seen a few of these social media posts after he's notched up a bag full of goals.
If Tel's off the table, we should go for George Ilenikhena from Royal Antwerp. Still only 17 and has 7 goals/5xG in 8.8 90s in Belgium. Scored against Barca in the CL too. From what I've seen he looks great. Reminds me of Tony Yeboah although...
I'm happy for Maguire because I think he's got a positive attitude and has got his act together this season after a couple of horror seasons. However, I also think his athletic profile is part of the reason why we can't play a high defensive line...
Barcelona have been blessed with four teenagers with 'best in the world in their position' potential coming through La Masia in recent years, players any of which could have sold for well over €100mn if Barca were wont to do so and in spite of...
McTominay, as much as he is a scapegoat, has elite gifts. Physically elite, fit as a racehorse, strong dueller and think its fair to say at this point he's an excellent box crasher. Won't really help you control the game at all but can win you a...
Definitely wouldn't class Lacey a sure thing even if he's arguably our most exciting prospect. Just far too small and lacking in top pace at underage level to be considered an absolute certainty regardless of skill level. Got burnt with Angel...
He's only 18 and young strikers usually get shifted out wide when building experience so wouldn't necessarily say that position is set in stone. As far as I know, he played 9 coming up the ranks.
Yeah, supposed to have a great attitude and strong leadership skills. Barring injuries, he's as close a guarantee to a future star as there is. Still only 18 but is tall and already built like a man. Perfect time to get him too as he hasn't...
