The final u18s league table, we scored 42 and conceeded 42

Wonder if they'll go full strength, try youngsters or play some of the players being released to put them in the shop window? I noticed Higgins was on the bench in the last game and Dylan Thompson started and neither of them have been offered contracts.

Liam Higgins is returning from a hamstring injury

i assume the teams you quote (Chelsea, Man Utd & City) have the largest element of expensive young foreign recruits that play in a more technical manner. This is my assumption, I’m no longer close enough to the set up to know.
.

To be honest , I was baffled by the original post , that we should play like City and Chelsea , the two sides who have dominated English youth football in recent years, literally spending millions on their Academies , with City Champions at u18 and U23s this season and who’s first teams are also probabaly the highest spenders and will contest the CL Final soon. Fantasy stuff. In both the Youth Cup games our tactics were spot on when we beat them , we had some fantastic individual performances but I don’t think anybody doubted that City and Chelsea had the overall better in depth squads. If we’d have tried to match their tactics I don’t believe we would have won both games.

Your point about “ largest element of expensive foreign recruits “ is spot on . Last season we watched the then 17 year old Dutch youth star Jayden Braaf tear us wide open when City beat our U23s easily. At 18 he’s now on loan and getting a few games in Serie A with Udinese. We can only dream about buying , and keeping, such young foreign talent.... but who knows , one day maybe ....

What a coincidence, I bought him in my Everton career mode from a scouting report, didn't know heck who he was, 4 seasons later he wins a ballon'dor with us!

Would love to see Kyle John get a chance against wolves, Coleman is just completely inept and we've nothing to lose now.

It'll be interesting to see how Leeds develop the next few years. They've been getting involved in the youth market quite a bit and have been tearing through the second division of PL2 this year with players like Gelhardt, Summerville, Drameh and Greenwood at the very front. All of those they picked up for fees in the 1m +- 500k region. If you're asking me, they're all very good business and players that Everton may well have taken a lok at. If just one of them makes it into the first squad, they'll have done well financially.

They're also reportedly in the market for more of the same this summer.

[mightymoyes]

some of the keepers are u18 level seem to be completely hopeless, like cant even do basic shot stopping never mind anything else. another case in point with the Newcastle one here

That’s interesting, and in complete contrast to our starting teams in their last games at u18/U23s were all players who joined us as Academy Scholars. Jagne on the bench for u18s joined us at 17, Josh Bowler and Dennis Adeniran were bought in and will leave this summer, and Markelo has one year left . DCL has been a great success and Nkounkou and Branthwaite appear to be money well spent. Hopefully we’ll get in some more youngsters like these three, as you say if one succeeds then financially that can usually pay for the rest.

Seems as though we’ve

seems as though we’ve taken on 15-year-old Exeter City goalkeeper Harry Lee on trial, alongside Chelsea & Leeds from earlier in the season. looks to be highly rated as he has already been on the bench for the first team & the manager has mentioned his desire to tie him down to a scholar/pro contract.

 

[ZG756]

turned 16 earlier this year even, could potentially get him on a scholarship if the trial is successful

Small and Welch called up.
