Great stuff. He deserves every recognition he's getting.
I don't think it is.
It´s on BT Sport 2
Any news if Angel Gomes has started?
Gomes isn't in the XI or the bench.
Cheers mate, wonder why he's not included.
Hopefully he will never play for the 18s again. The 19s & 23s are where he needs to be.
I agree but it's concerning that he's not at least getting game time for the u18s. I'm not sure if he's still suffering the effects from his injury but he's not played consistent football for a while, having only played 6 games this season, three of those in the UEFA Youth League.
Looks like the U14s had been strengthen a lot over the summer? I'm a bit lost about who they have right now.
Aren't Sam Murray, Rajdeep Palett and Harvey Rowe who joined from Huddersfield Town recently u14 ?
They are not the only new ones.
Indian/sikh name? What is his nationality?
Definitely an age group they're trying to strengthen, 3-4 new player have come in, not sure where from, think Shola also played today. On another note, the 12's were class today, streamrolled City.
Would guess he's English with Indian parents.
Very very encouraging to see how we've improved so fast. How highly rated is the kid Sonny Pickup from Huddersfield U12s that joined?
I'd imagine one of his parents is Indian, but noticed that one of the highest rated lads, alongside Rocco Fragapane who signed later, on trial from Huddersfield Town was Raj Mahmood, an England u16 International.
Sorry, no idea, they didn't play at the ATC
Been hearing promising things about that age group for a couple of years now, seems like they're quite well thought of? Do you know if it is just a strong all round group or is there some special individual talent in the side?
Seriously? This is an age group we actually discuss on here now?
That scoreline is based on 4 games though, not one single game where City scored 26 goals.
The post I was replying to asked about u10’s. And other kids. I replied. Are you going to have a dig at them as well?
Didn't see that post (as you didn't quote it) but yeah, my criticism would apply to anyone interested in results involving kids that young. I'm sure they didn't used to be publicised? Presume they're being shared and discussed because of twitter?
A semi-decent guide to productivity but irrelevant for now, as it measures pros that would be in their mid twenties now. It is lagging by about 10 years so using those metrics we'd have to wait until 2027 to see the current quality of our academy compared to our peers. If you look at the number of (for example) Chelsea players from the last 3 or 4 years playing competitively for clubs like Vitesse (which are at least championship level), compared to us, then I think these figures would change a lot.
Dont think so, mahmood is a muslim name and wont be associated with a sikh, Raj is a hindu name again(maybe one parent is muslim and another hindu here), Rajdeep is a sikh name that can be used by hindus but never by muslims, either there are two players or the name is different. Anyways it doesnt matter, i just got excited for seeing an indian name among united youth's. That is great.
Not got his international clearance yet i think.
Thanks for the info. Hopefully he gets it soon and get involved.
Heard he was getting rested, also heard he was at a party in London the night before the game.
He had an operation in September, should be available in the next month or so
He's back in full time training with the team so should be available soon
Bit of both, strong overall group, but 2-3 kids that are very highly rated by the club
