  1. Maximillian Oyedele

    I really like Oyedele, he is so athletic and covers distance tremendously. Any manager that likes pressing football is going to have an interest in him.
  2. Miscellaneous Reserve/Youth News

    The reason I put Mather in the dark horse category is firstly because of the developmental impact of being injured but secondly because being a first team player requires an extremely high physical standard, as well as the technical. He could either make it in both respects or fall slightly...
  3. Radek Vítek

    I am not sure Vitek is agile enough against low shots to be a top level goalkeeper from what I have seen so far, whether that can be developed with age I am not sure.

    Mather could be an under the radar good talent. He's very good in most areas without being explosively eye catching. His development has been slower since the youth cup win than others but it looks like he's on the right track nevertheless.
  5. Isak Hansen-Aarøen | signs for Werner Bremen

    I think thats quite hard on Shoretire, he's only 6 months older than Hansen and his first team appearances came 2 years ago when he was only just 17. If I recall correctly at least a few of his appearances were 5 minute cameo's in dead games. I'd also say he's another late developer physically...
  6. Isak Hansen-Aarøen | signs for Werner Bremen

    I think Hansen is a late developer physically and he will realise his potential in the 22-24 age range, like Lingard did. The question is whether he has the patience or the club has the patience to keep him that long. I do find the current social media frenzy around him frustrating though...
  7. Alvaro Fernandez (Out)

    This has been a popular view on twitter but Benfica don't always get it right. One of the reasons they do well is because they sign a lot of young players with potential which increases both the hit and miss ratio. Fernandez does have potential to be good for them and beyond but there have...
  8. Shea Lacey

    I think there is a middle ground here. ETH currently doesn't have the safety to take risks and has to take every game very seriously, he should therefore be prioritising only those fully deserving to play. More established managers can afford to throw people in and give them a chance. Fergie...
  9. Blackburn - Man United U18

    That might be true although both times we've had twins so far I think the lesser rated of the two has gone on to be the better player(Rafael and Michael Keane).
  10. Blackburn - Man United U18

    Its the first I have really seen of Fletcher but he's a really good size with a nice touch. Some obvious promise there for me.
  11. Harrison Parker

    It would be interesting to see the bank transactions of his parents the last few years and more to the point now.
  12. Kobbie Mainoo

    I am not sure that this is true on any level. The only 2 players that I can think this remotely applies to are Scott Mctominay and Paddy Mcnair. Mctominay has unique physical attributes and Mcnair was a much better player on the ball than Thorpe and in the end had a much better career anyway.
  13. Alejandro Garnacho

    I think some people took his lack of time in early pre-season negatively but I always viewed it as Erik needing to see the other players and make decisions on their future's whereas with Garnacho its certain he will stay and develop around the first team. He surprised me today with just how...
  14. Alejandro Garnacho

    If he did that it would be justification of the hype itself. He's younger than the average player to go on loan, so to do that and be a success would be an achievement. Personally I think he'd be much better hanging around Ronaldo and learning. I also think the recognition of him started a long...
  15. Alejandro Garnacho

    I think this might be a very good shout actually. He wants to get in behind and use his pace, he wants to finish and he's actually becoming a lot more of a physical presence as he grows. At the top level he's going to be asked to do more than that from a wide area. But down the middle he'll be...
