This isn't true by the way. U21 players don't count towards the squad limit so we can play whichever of the young players we like. There's a good reason that we don't though, they haven't been good enough.

Wouldn't hate it but whether they go down that route is another thing. Henderson also spent time in conference North. Yep it's not necessarily a bad thing. The habits they pick up from family are almost as valuable as the training. Then you've...

Not a single one of the wide forwards on our books last season aged between 18 & 21 in Jack Harrison's position will play at the same level Jack Harrison has

I think it's quite surprising because I don't recall us ever paying money for a second choice keeper before. I posted that a week or so ago and only 2 names got put forward, 1 from 25 years ago and 1 from 40. I'm not saying it's a bad thing, but...

Is Mark Travers good enough? I'd say he's a lot closer to Angus Gunn or Fabianski than he is Jordan Pickford

£4m on a back up keeper does seem an odd one when there's usually a load of that type floating round on a free. Hopefully it's a sign of an increased budget rather than a strange use of what we've got to play with.

4 million on a player that's never going to play. We must be absolutely brewstied

Then 5 minutes later… LOL

Can't be true, someone who knows his postman said he has no interest in being 2nd choice

I've been to Frankfurt. We've got absolutely nothing to worry about 👍

Look at the level if player juve have got it wrong and sold too quickly. I'd be all over Luiz if available, as we should have been when he was leaving city.

I think or at least hope we're going to be quite aggressive in how much we promote him this season, or at least I hope so anyway. Everything so far suggests they rate him as highly as a Lawrence/Ishe/Small level player. If he rises fast its not...

I’m taking it as positive , we need to nurture this kid and another who needs to be shown there’s a pathway for him . We do appear to be doing that with his appearance in the stadium test game, starting at u18s , trip to Abu Dhabi with the...

It's a relatively safe assumption that over the course of the year, players will get loaned out or injury prone players will miss time through injury. If we get to September and no one has been loaned or sold ill hold my hands up and say fair...

Not sure how much, if any weight we can put into it, but Nsangou is currently wearing 88 on his IG story. Previously Okoronkwo's number but would indicate he's being thought of as a full time member of the 18s squad given U16s get numbers 100+
