  1. Potential Centre-Back Signings

    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.
  2. Is Mainoo the real deal?

    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 18 so despite his talent, he's still the rookie...
  3. Is Mainoo the real deal?

    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 minute for club and country in his breakout...
  4. Miscellaneous Reserve/Youth News

    Looks so dominant at that level. Nice to see he seems to have a mix of really strong physicals with decent dribbling and shooting technique.
  5. Kai Rooney Signs For United

    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 in the box strikers when they don't have top-end...
  6. Kai Rooney Signs For United

    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.
  7. Mathys Tel

    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 admittedly its hard to judge on such limited minutes...
  8. The left-back market…

    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 so while he's been one of our better performers...
  9. Harry Amass | Signs professional contract

    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 the club's appalling financial management could...
  10. Evan Ferguson - Top Irish Prospect

    In what way do you think he's like Hojlund aside from being young? I don't see them as being similar in style at all.
  11. The left-back market…

    Patrick Dorgu at Lecce is supposed to be very good.
  12. Amir Ibragimov

    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 game with is nose for goal and help out defending...
  13. Amir Ibragimov

    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 Gomes (who in fairness will have a nice career) and...
  14. Mathys Tel

    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.
  15. Mathys Tel

    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 exploded yet and can provide cover across the front line.
