Youf/Academy Thread

Almost as good as Harry Gray doing it a full year younger.

FA Youf Cup final about to kick off. We've not been great this season so would be a nice reward if we do manage a win.

Not really a **** up, we did offer a contract but he wants to go to Pool. Not much else we could do.

Interesting that apparently there's been more moves in 16 year olds this preseason than any other. Brexit to blame I've heard with it becoming a lot more cut-throat between rival clubs and academy kids.

Hope hes the next Messi.

Hope hes the next Messi.

Pretty sure to you he will be.

Just quietly, Spurs have put together some incredible talent under 22. From Mikey Moore to Ashley Phillips, Jamie Donley to Lucas Bergvil and now Archie Grey with Luka Vuscovic also in the wings

Apparently we've signed him. United haven't had a transfer strategy that we've followed since the early 2000s. This is surreal.

Charlie Crew looking the goods and you can see why Wales capped him before a club senior appearance.

I’m sure he will be a player in the EFL young player stakes this season as he’s going to get a fair bit of opportunity in midfield this season.

The more talented Gray brother, Harry, got his first minutes for Leeds overnight at 15, Harry is a forward unlike Archie the midfielder, who has broken goal scoring records in the North through most of the age groups.

He’s going to skip the u18 and u21 age groups.

May become Leeds youngest player in their history this season.

Bielsa said he was the best player in the world for his age 2 years ago. Been a lot of hype out of the North of England for a while regarding him. Gorman was the other, but Man City got their claws into him a few months ago.

Early 2000s? Been that long, really?

Nestory's first outing in Bayern.

So turns out we have the next Messi already.

Trey Nyoni.

For your sake I hope he does better than your last next Messi (Jordan Ibe or have I missed someone in between?)

Well do we count all the young guns we currently have like Quansah, Bradley, Bajcetic, Danns, Koumas, McConnell, Morton, Clark, Doak and now Nyoni or??

Cos they could all be the next Messi bro.

Palmer or Saka, surely.

 

[Bradesmaen]

or Olise. The other 3 don't even belong. Branthwaite snubbed again.

 

[RossFC]

Palmer easily.

Can't wait to see this kid next season, just looks so good.

Yeah, you've done extremely well there, even if the transfer fee looks massive for a 17 year old.

You don't do what he's doing in the Brasileirao unless you are a Neymar type talent.

Echeverri the other coming over to Man City from River in December looks the goods also, but not on Estevao's level. Might get loaned out for a period.

Wonder when the last time before today that 3 separate academy graduates at a club all scored their first goals for that club in the same game.
