Ryan Ledson

[Pabbers]

The way I look at it, all those scouts, coaches at United & England and even Villa see something in him, as does our Manager....and they know more than some blokes on a message board.

I think Ledson and Kenny will make premiership players, but gradually over a two or three year period, they are after all just young boys still.
But, how many others ?
Lundstram will be lucky to make a living out of the game and as promising as young players like Dowell, Grant, Long and others are we will be lucky if just one or at best two ever play for the first team.

Ledson needs to go out on loan and get some first team football under his belt. At the moment McCarthy, Barry, Besic and Gibson are ahead and with less games next season there won't be many chances. For this reason we also don't need Cleverley.

He's 17.

He's 17.

You would know.

 

[bluemangroup]

You would know.

Most of the credit has to go to the Internet for that.

He's 17.

He's had 2 years as an u21 regular and needs to take the next step. He'll be 18 by the start of next season which is the same age as Barkley was when he went on loan to Sheffield Wednesday.

I didn't know the Internet had more uses than porn and online shopping.

Ledson isn't the same build as Barkley was and wasn't pushing hard for first team games like Barkley was. For want of a better cliche, Ledsons footballing education has been more gradual and settled, let's keep it that way until we are certain he's ready.

That reminds me, I must stock up on more porn.

take it you would be happy signing wes brown and john o'shea this summer to replace distin and alcaraz then?

Serious question

If we have this lad, why are we even looking at Tom Cleverley?

Out of every single position, Central Midfield is where we have probably the strongest collection of promising players in the reserves

Ledson, Lundstram, Wilson, Dowell, Junior

Why are we spending money on Cleverley when we could just promote from within and use that money on a CB or another striker?

Lundstram and Junior are wank, Dowell is a #10, and funnily enough, we don't have anyone called Wilson, clap clap clap.

That said, I agree, I'd sooner see Ledson brought through than Cleverley.

Too small anyway, at the mo. I grew half a foot for real when I was his age though so he could still make it.

 

[bluemangroup]

People have such unrealistic expectations of the youth academy.

Is it embarrassing buy a pair of shoes one size and then asking for one for your baby foot?
