Youf/Academy Thread

[Bojan KantKick]

Mou says that Axel Tuanzebe will debut soon. About bloody time. Shits all over Rojo.

Youf Cup on tonight. Us against Southampton.

Geordies the only ones through to the next round so far with a derby win last night.

Weird, he's not even American.
Good experience for him though I guess

 

[moomba]

4-0 to us. And off we go to the next round.

 

[moomba]

We loaned Angelino and Shay Facey to MLS but a bit different circumstances.

Seems a strange move.

Think a former board member or something is the head of the franchise. Might be the first of many loans out there

 

[jd2010]

Darren Eales is the president there. Former executive director at the club.

For someone like Walkes who I don't see having a PL career maybe its a good move for his career in the long run. Is it better to be a League One / lower end Championship player or a very good MLS/A-League type international player?

 

[Magma]

pretty sure angelino came close to the best left back in mls or something. now he can't even make girona's match days squads.

 

[moomba]

We got through 4-0, Sancho, Foden, Nmecha and Duhaney. Foden has been on the bench before, and I reckon it can't be too long before Sancho does as well.

U15's had another good derby win. Aggregate of 14-1 over the two games so far this season.

 

[Magma]

phil stockport iniesta foden.

 

[moomba]

Sixth Round draw:

Middlesbrough or Leicester City v Chelsea or Sheffield Wednesday
Newcastle United v Tottenham Hotspur or Norwich City
Preston North End or AFC Wimbledon v Stoke City or Brighton & Hove Albion
Aston Villa or FC Broxbourne Borough v Manchester City

 

[Magma]

stockport iniesta has a goal and assist as the u/18's are up 3-0 in 26 mins vs newcastle.

[Art Vandelay_]

2-0 up over LFC in the U23's. Edwards with a tidy left foot finish and then Will Miller with the 2nd (may end up an OG).

 

[Art Vandelay_]

2-1 Pool pen. Poor defending to stick the leg out.

Kevin Stewart with the winner 3-2 lol.

Kevin Stewart with the winner 3-2 lol.

I'd have scored too if Onomah and Tracey didn't stop me getting a free header. Pathetic defending.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Not bad on his comeback from injury.

Would love him to start making the bench and seeing minutes this season

Concerned he'd get pushed off the ball but that's just me. Looks a little slight.

Anyway, the club has re-signed Steve Hitchen to be head of recruiting, he was responsible for Modric and then Suarez at Pool (should have been here but Timmy and Arry said no lol). So Mitchell will no longer need to serve his notice and he can get cracking on summer signings.

Yeah does look tiny but would be better to get him some experience to it now just in case he never does shoot up and has to deal with it forever being small. He didn't look weak in the pre season games against Juve or Atletico

I daresay he would have been if he hadn't have suffered that fairly nasty injury a few months ago. That Liverpool game was his first in 3 or 4 months.

UEFA Youth League on tonight. We're up against RB Salzburg.

 

[moomba]

Lost on pens. Deserved it really, lucky to take it past 90 minutes. Really disappointing performance.

It's a competition I really want us to win and with Chelsea out it was a great opportunity. Oh well, heres to next year.
