Academy scouts are part of the academyNot sure how much credit we can really claim when we pinched him in summer![]()
The credit goes to the scouting team at youth level which was led by David Harrison. And we also had the likes of Jamahl Jarrett and Stephen Ajewole focused on player identification down south. So the credit goes to both the team of scouts and the coaching staff at youth level who have combined together to create a winning machine. Special mention for Adam Lawrence who has done a tremendous job coaching the youth for the last couple of years.Not sure how much credit we can really claim when we pinched him in summer![]()
I feel like that would be a waste though. You can find midfielders with that skillset. You won't find LBs with that type of press resistance. We want Mainoos all over the pitch theoretically.He’s so good I genuinely think he would also be great in midfield.
Bugger, that's a real shame for him.Had his right foot in a protective boot yesterday. Would be gutted for the lad if misses the U17s Euros.
The Fm player in me agrees and Im sure ETH was tempted but the reality is with how badly we were playing it might have really hurt his development to be flung in and caught out by savvy Prem wingers. Esoecially as our lads just refuse to track back. I hope he gets into the U21s next season then we can slowly integrate him the year afterSurely deserved some playing time this season given our dearth of left-back options. Would've been a better option that Amrabat or even AWB on that side.
We should loan him to WrexhamHe can’t do anything else at this level anyway. He’s really class! He’s built like Dan James though. I used to wince when players streamed into him. I fancy him to get some minutes in the cups next season and then probably a loan
Shaw was always a physically strong player and a promising attacker probably worth around 25 million old money at 16. He is going to be a hard act to improve upon but someone reliable and explosive pushing into the team along with him would keep everyone happy. I want it to be Amass! He was immense this year but i would loan certain players to Salford Wrexham Ipswich INEOS etc and anyone else who will mind the lads and provide a platform at a suitable level to establish themselves as early as possible. Chelsea and City are good at this but I think our youth system has also been developing very solid PL and international level players. The standard is high again.We should loan him to Wrexham
Yeah, but even if he's still not all that athletic, he should become more athletic than he currently is. Either way, his playstyle to me would be more like a central midfielder in the LB spot. Could be great in a system where the LB steps into the midfield space vacated by others. He would help us dominate possession.very skillful left footed player but lack of quick first step. I am not quite convinced he can make it here. I would be happy if it is proven wrong in the future

Spike Brits is a cool name. Certainly better than Oliver Whatmuff.![]()

It doesn't happen often that our youngsters are involved in a youth tournament therefore this is fantastic.Nice! Fit enough to be called into the U17s Euros squad. One hell of a squad, but they’ve got one hell of a group too.
I'd love to see a match thread for each of England games too. This will be the first time I watch a youth Euro finals, even though most of the games will be started at like 1:30 AM in my time zone.It doesn't happen often that our youngsters are involved in a youth tournament therefore this is fantastic.
Shea Lacey is injured otherwise he would be surely in the squad too.
And oh yeah this group is really a crazy group considering the nations in the other three groups
I'm not allowed yet to create a thread therefore i would be nice if someone could make a thread for the U17 Euros in the "Football Forum"![]()

Any chance he could eventually move to a more attacking wide role like Bale and Saka did?He struggled defensively today. Still needs to improve in that area. Going forward he’s class though.
Don't see him struggling in the video above unless they omitted those bits? Didn't watch the game...He struggled defensively today. Still needs to improve in that area. Going forward he’s class though.
Yes. He's talented enough. I would say I have seen some hunger for him to win the ball and defend so he's well suited to left back but he does have enough ability to play further forward with a very good first touch, can beat a player and good passing.Any chance he could eventually move to a more attacking wide role like Bale and Saka did?
Looks good enough to make few appearances next season.Tweet

He isn't rapid, but isn't particularly slow either. Perhaps similar to someone like Trent.Does anyone know what's he like in terms of pace?
That's what I was thinking.He isn't rapid, but isn't particularly slow either. Perhaps similar to someone like Trent.
I'd absolutely have him in the squad next season. The kid is class.That's what I was thinking.
He's too young to go on loan.
He'd be better off training with the first team and maybe making 10 appearances.
Don’t you think with his range of passing and ability to beat players, he would be wasted at LB? An attacking player who can do his defensive duties would actually make him even more of a complete player.Yes. He's talented enough.

It takes different skill sets/profiles to beat players in different areas of the pitch. Amass is as effective as he is because he is generally coming on to the play, it allows him to see the whole field, take up good positions and play smart passes. Those sort of things can be lessened when moving a player further forward.Don’t you think with his range of passing and ability to beat players, he would be wasted at LB?

Yes they have. He was caught a couple of times by the tricky winger, and one horrendous little pass in his own box, which could have looked worse as the player he passed to didn't move towards the ball at all, allowing the Spanish player to get the ball in a very dangerous position, the defender actually defended that well.Don't see him struggling in the video above unless they omitted those bits? Didn't watch the game...
The video omitted it. He made a couple mistakes defensively but he’s still a young player. Still a top prospect but a couple years away from first team football for me.Don't see him struggling in the video above unless they omitted those bits? Didn't watch the game...
