Tammy scores again in his first start for Bristol. 1-0 over Wycombe in the LC.

uefa youth league will be guaranteed a new champion this season, chelsea not participating due to the u/18's not winning the league title and/or the chelsea seniors not being in the champions league.

Boo.

 

[moomba]

Shame.

Callum Gribbin vs Barcelona last week.

Liking Liverpool's policy of selling with buy-back clauses. Think more clubs should do that for 20-23 year olds who are only going to get 5-10 appearances. Better system than loans imo

Agreed. We've sold Ibe and Canos and let them go to see if they make it. If they do, the option is there to bring them back. I dont see it very often in England, seems to be a more continental european thing.

We had it with Luongo when we sold him. And apparently had something in place with a club with mason before his PL debut season with us too.

Gives the club getting these young guys more of a reason to be actively involved in getting them to kick on

It's win win for everyone really. No idea what the buy back prices are in the Ibe and Canos deals though. I hope both go on and do well though.

 

[Magma]

we have it with a few guys. they're just not good enough

at least when they go out on a deal like that they're like to play 70% of games and aren't written off like some loan players can be when they hit poor patches of form

Exactly, loanee's can be cast aside if they have a form slump or dont fit in right away. Knowing they will just leave again at the end of the loan. With buy backs, the club has outright bought the player so they have committed to him and will ride out the form patches or be patient if he doesnt fit in right away.

Just as important is choosing a good loan deal. We had Enes Unal somewhere in Belgium last year, he didnt play so we moved him to NAC Breda. He really kicked on there. One was great for his development, the other pointless.

In years to come we'll hopefully have an Eredivisie club and a La Liga club we have close relationships with, that we can sen 2-4 players at a time.

Off topic slightly but nothing worse when playing FIFA and you send kids out on loan and they don't play a single game. Should be able to set terms.

Interesting that our squad for the first U23 game of the season had two 20 year olds, and the rest were 17/18. Derby had a similar approach, a year or so older than us on average. Both sides still eligible for U21 football except Martin Olsson at 28. We got battered in the first half, but came back to win 2-3.

Think this season will have a lot of ups and downs, but should be a great learning experience for the kids.

United with 1-0 win at home against a very strong Leicester team. Richie De Laet and Gokhan Inler playing for the foxes. Leicester controlled the game but Axel Tuanzebe was best on by an absolute mile. Even at 18, we should be loaning him to Hull or someone in a good league that needs a centre half. He's strong, quick and reads the game really well. With it being U23's it'll give less opportunity for a lot of kids but the ones who are given a go will benefit greatly imo with playing against men and occasionally, international level players.

Demi Mitchell's winning goal against Leicester. Route 1 ftw

 

[kangaspurs]

Our PL2 side beat Reading 4-1 yesterday which included a spell of 4 minutes where we scored 3 goals! Genuine wonderkid Marcus Edwards scored twice and both goals were lovely finishes while the last goal we scored was as a result of one of the worst GK errors you'll see. Doctor Gero jd2010 go you pups the hype just keeps building!

 

[moomba]

Ours have started well with two wins from two.

We would have a hell of lineup if we went all out to win this.

U18's with a win and a draw.

Both very young teams, but both have had first choice players unavailable over the first few weeks.

 

[Rustin Cohle]

Chelsea U23 beat Liverpool U23 4-1. None of the Chelsea 11 were over the age of 19.

 

[chef]

Tammy firing Bristol City into the next round. Been a great loan so far for the kid.

lel. The GK fluff is peak FIFA
Should be playing Edwards v Gillingham.

 

[Jozzy]

Everton have sold Ryan Ledson to Oxford United, he hasn't really developed on as we'd hoped over the last two years but to already give up on a player who turned 19 this week is madness.

Haha yeah, it's a genuine howler, isn't it?

That's one of the reasons to be excited about the Gillingham draw. Hopefully we see all of Edwards, Onomah, Winks, KWP and CCV in that game as well as a few other likely types filling the bench like Miller, Amos and Walkes.

our u/18's are 3-0 up on liverpool after 17 mins...
