That Lawrence goal is freaking sweet. May not be anything prettier than a long range shot that loops over the keeper.
Ben Pearson and James Wilson both started for England under 19s against Estonia its 3-1 to England at half time
According to the FA's Twitter account Wilson didn't score, but according to their match report he did: http://www.thefa.com/england/mens-u19s/News/Match Centre/2013/estonia-v-england/050913
It was definitely Wilson that scored the first goal
We seem to have opted out of the new U21s cup: http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/...-liverpool-and-tottenham-opt-out-8803731.html
Will be interesting to see who goes.
A few should be looking at championship loans too.
So, What Evans at Rotherham said is that he will get 2-3 loan players and one from United. To difficult for papers to get it right.

Anyone heard of Harry Maguire off Sheffield United? Centre half we've been linked to.
Saw him playing a couple of times against our youth team a couple of years and seemed a solid John Terry style defender but apparently hes had a terrible season and fans would be delighted to get 4 million for him which isnt a good sign. From what little Ive seen I dont think hes any better than Keane or Thorpe just more experienced
Played against us in the youth cup final. I think he scored a goal for Sheffield United but then went and gave away a penalty for hand ball or scored an own goal or something.
Don't remember being particularly impressed with any of their defenders in those games but a century of games aged 20 is remarkable.
This guy's coming along brilliantly. Still just 17, he made his debut in Norway's top div at the weekend and looked the part. He was all set to sign for United on his 16th birthday but the deal got delayed due to an ankle operation. When he recovered he signed for his local top division side instead. Not sure if we changed or minds or if he did, perhaps we wanted to see that there weren't any long term problems with his ankle, but I'm sure he's still on our radar. Die-hard United fan as well.
Pearson and Wilson called up for the England U-19's next month
Good stuff

The U21 match away to Spurs on the 11th is off, anyone hear why?
Next match would be the 21st, so let's hope they schedule some friendlies.

It would've clashed with England v Montenegro.

Under 15 centre half Roshaun Williams will captain England under 16s against Wales tonight coverage starts on sky sports 2 at 7.30
Williams played the full game for England as they beat Wales 1-0. Williams made a bad mistake getting caught on the ball at the start of the game which lead to Wales hitting the post but looked good after that. Reminds me a bit of Desailly in terms of build and movement. The English players who impressed me most were James Yates a right back from Everton and Charlie Wakefield a winger from Chelsea who got the goal. Wales best player was Tyler Roberts a striker from west brom who's eligible again next year. Chris Willock from Arsenal missed out through injury.

Interesting quotes from Warren Joyce. Would be very good for those three guys to get some loan experience.

U21 game with Arsenal rescheduled from Nov 20th to Dec 20th
Hows Andreas Pereira coming along? I half saw him once in an MUTV game at my dads whilst pretending to help him shell peas (my dad, not Andreas Pereira) and he looked the absolute nuts
Can someone confirm or deny that he's going to be the best player in the world within the next 5 years please? Preferably confirm.

Absolutely, he's the real thing.
He's definitely got a chance but not sure he's done enough (in a United shirt at least) to quite justify all the hype yet. A long way to go.
He really has to start influencing games more. He has all the talent in the world but hasn't done enough this season and was taken off after about an hour in the under 19s game last week after being pretty anonymous
I agree with the above about him needing to influence games more. But we said that about Pogba as well and look at him now.
Well, he's also been the stand out player in most of the U18 games. He looks like he should already be in the U21s to me.
But I think there's something to be said for not promoting a player too far too quickly, he can shine in the academy team and hopefully expand his attacking game more easily against younger opponents.

Are you still talking about Periera? He hasnt' plauyed that many Academy games and the standouts have been Wilson, Harrop, Goss, McConnell and Fletcher really this season. His real turn was in the Milk Cup
Sorry, you're right he's barely featured in the U18s tournament. I should say he's looked a cut above in the games he's played, which haven't been for the U21s.
For me he was poor in the one U18 game he's played this season, and his U19 displays haven't been entirely convincing either - some bright moments but anonymous at times too. In his defence, he's playing very sporadically so it's not easy to find form. I don't really understand the way we're using him this season - he should be featuring regularly for the U18s until such a time that there are more opportunities available in the U21s (due to loans/injuries). I know there was talk that he'd refused to play U18 games any more - either way, can't see how such limited playing time is doing him any favours at all.
Doesn't seem to have done much to quell the hype/excitement around him though. Can't help wondering if a kid called Andrew Perry putting in the same sort of performances would be getting raved about as much.

I really hope sign Andrew Perry, heard really good things about him plus he's a united fan too.
A lot of bollocks about Beckham's boy signing around. Trained a few times with us.
