Charlie Patino at Arsenal is a English/Spanish silky midfielder. Alfie Devine at Spurs is supposed to be one of the best England youth players. Be surprised to see many playing the seniors this year.
Fecking hell. Dortmund showing everyone up again.
Callum Gribbin plays in League Two while those whatsisnames include Trevoh Chalobah who’s been good in the Championship and now in Ligue 1. Maja who is a good Ligue 1 player and Edwards is finally piecing it together and is doing very well in Portugal. They’re performing at a high level and better than Gribbin or Oxford
2014 has Suliman who is now a starting CB for the same team in Portugal as Edwards. Most do not live up to billing though.
Thank you for the updates. I only mentioned Gribbins because I take it many here have heard of him. For people following Championship or are very interested in PL in general, I see that it can be interesting reading about 3-4 potential PL players in four or five years. As to the OP question,which alligns with my interest, it’s enough to note that roughly 1 in20 has any chance at all to be relevant for Man United in the future.
Would love if even half of that list get a regular spot in the first team.. the United way.
That s their business model -nicking kids and transform them into 100m players
It should have been Shola.
He's a well-known entity, it's actually very similar to how they poached Sancho a few years ago. He had plenty of suitors but Dortmund have built a reputation of giving these players a chance so they pretty much get first dibs on any half-decent talent these days.
Indeed. I still don't think there's anything outstanding about their scouting, the talents they're signing are well-known. Their player development is top notch though, if I had the choice of every club in the world as a 16-18 year old I'd probably pick Dortmund too.
They're a very attractive club for that type of player; guaranteed game time if you're good enough, plus you're likely to get a big move after if you impress
Think Hutchinson is youtube hype to be honest.
Willing to bet Jamie Jackson has probably never seen any of our first-year scholars play so probably inevitable he'd go for one of the new recruits who've been in the news this summer. Surprised they didn't ask someone with a little more knowledge.
Hell have picked him because he came from Barcelona.
Nah he's good. Patino is a good pick though.
Mellon is actually from us, released at 15.
