only 4 really figured so far so work in progress

 

[EddieColquhoun]

That's half a dozen U18s that have been playing for the U18s and U23s.
What makes you sure they haven't made their mark?

 

[Geordie Blade]

We have four new permanent members of the starting eleven. That seems like plenty of impact to me, so I'm not sure what your issue is.

 

[blade too long]

I said some for the future, but the west brom younster Barnes shone on friday
as did Brooks last season
If one can make a mark be nice

not an issue , just saying theres several still to show what theyve got
weve invested in 15 players there, we still have to pay them 3 to 4m a year between them

So you want us to sign some youngsters to go straight into the first team?

Henderson?

and the winner of 'weirdest thread of the day' is....

 

[Maidenhead]

and the winner of 'weirdest thread of the day' is....

That's a bit presumptious

There's nearly 9 hours of the day still to go in the UK and nearly 8hrs in BTL land.

 

[Bill Johnson]

It'll take some beating though.

 

[Lane Ender]

Midweek early bar

 

[Carlton Blade]

Harvey Barnes is going to be a Premier League regular and potential international. Not sure why we'd compare him to youngsters signed as a punt for the future?

Odd thread

Close the forum for the day, its been hacked by the Russians

 

[Stretch]

Is Bryan even playing for the U23s?

like a pack of Hyena's waiting to pounce

 

[LoughboroBlade]

It hurts the eyes.

 

[Ricky]

Im still waiting for Jasper
Johns
was a promising player and should
have made
a breakthrough but hasnt for whatever
reason .
hopefully soon

 

[BushBlade]

Is Bryan even playing for the U23s?

Played yesterday I think. First time for a while I believe.

Barnes is on loan from Leicester.

Barnes and Brooks are 21 years old. You're trying to compare them with 6 kids who have just left school (3 of them in other countries).

Pele had already scored 100 professional goals by the time he was 12. These kids need to stop making excuses.

 

[Come from away]

Quina an 18yr old player transfer screw-up we missed, played for Watford

Scored on his second senior appearance I think. Came on as a sub, next game played and scored.

I blame agents and West Ham.

The best thing I can say is Brooks was with us for years before he got anywhere near the first team. He had Travis shouting at him to tuck his shirt in year after year before he was even in the U23s. You have to think of a lot of those listed in those terms. Putting Kean Bryan to one side, Reece York is the most advanced of the Youngsters listed. A more or less automatic choice in the U23s this season.

Pele had already scored 100 professional goals by the time he was 12. These kids need to stop making excuses.

......and won a World Cup. By the time Pele retired he was averaging a World Cup every two years and 100 goals a season. That’s according to Pele.

 

[Sean Thornton]

Imagine if he'd played for us and the board sold him...........

 

[I'll tell me dad.]

......and won a World Cup. By the time Pele retired he was averaging a World Cup every two years and 100 goals a season. That’s according to Pele.

And he's still knocking them in, or is it knocking them out?

 

[Pierre's PC]

knocking them out?

Are you thinking of Bill Cosby, in my old age I often get them mixed up.
