I've not come across half the names on the list, can any of the academy watchers help out? Most are through the ranks at Shirecliffe but there are a couple of exceptions.

Will Lankshear (joined from Arsenal) Forward who made his U23s debut at the end of last season. Seems to score almost every game he plays at U18 level.
Owen Hampson (Man U): midfield?
Sydie Peck (Arsenal) central midfielder, rated at Arsenal but struggled with injuries. I think we paid a release fee of around £150k for him.
Johnny Oluleye
Levis Pitan
Luke Faxon
Sai Sachdev
Charlie Staniland
George Dickinson
Ben Drake (joined after a trial. Google suggests he may have been at Bracknell Town at one stage)

Johnny Oluleye is a great name. Sounds like a mildly racist 70s wrestler.

Who is the little Ginger lad? players that small at that age tend to be some talent.

He wasn't on for long but I thought McLachlan looked decent v weds U18s the other night.

Lovely mix of suits there. Props Eyob-Abraha, recently left Newton Heath) for going full tux/bow tie, to Lamine Sidibe for staying true to his roots and to Alfie Hough who clearly forgot his dress shoes but rolled through with his pocket square anyway.

 

[Weasel]

Good luck to them all. Hope they forge a career in football, many of them hopefully with the Blades. In reality, even if we get 1 or 2 that make the grade with us, we will have some well with this year's class. Such is professional football.
