From the U17 team at Triangle Cup in Bermuda; 24 goals over 3 matches, no goals conceded. Finals to be played on Sunday. Robert - 8 goals Nsangou - 7 goals Doughty - 1 goals Olayiwola - 3 goals Moses - 1 goal, at least 4 assists Murdock - 1 from well outside the box apparently McEverly - 1...

I have the sneaking suspicion that Barnsley and Pickford will be the tandem for the U21s, at least for the first half of the season, and Luckj/Seve will be the tandem for the U18s. The club really doesn't seem that enthralled with Eze.

I think Akarakiri is in line to come up first for MF, suspect him and Clarke are the most likely to float up and down through the first few months of the season.

I was seeing that it was a loan movement, not permanent. But with his contract ending end of this season, probably makes sense to move him on for something with a sell on clause as opposed to walking for nothing.

Apparently have signed Rueben Savvas from Liverpool as a U15 Goalkeeper for somewhere around 250k. Has been called up to England youth national system previously.

Turned 23 in April according to transfermarkt

Does look like him, but that would be a strange signing as he’s already 2 years too old for the U21s

probably not that relevant but it looks like he’s represented by Jay-Z’s company which is a little different; also the only description of playstyle I’ve been able to dig up so far. Roc Nation

Have to imagine that pro deal was agreed to/signed as a pre-contract when he was bought, just doesn’t kick in or get announced till he’s 17

Tooting my own horn here but I went 9 for 9. Merry Youth Team thread Christmas everyone!

Agree with all of that. I should have clarified and said that’s “opening day” as opposed to the long term starting 11s. It will also be interesting to see who of the scholar class can step up, which may push some of the U21/U18 fringe players up earlier in the year

Was being reported he was going to Strasbourg for 8Mil the other day… hope we had a sell-on clause in there.

Won’t argue about OSS there, just get the feeling he will get picked over Finney for at least the first few months. I don’t know about experience though. There is no one on that squad who has more than a year of U21 under their belt. I know we want to be pushing the youth ahead as fast as...

Not having Armstrong available definitely made a difference in the back half of the cup run
