Give him time, he only turned 18 two months ago.
Not that unusual. As you step up through the youth teams you find yourself playing bigger better players.
At levels under 18 if you are physically strong for your own age it can be a huge benefit.
You lose that as you progress into men’s football. So for him at 17 he’s been playing against people up to age 23. Makes you adjust your game.
Be interesting to see what they feel is his best option over next couple of years and if he ends up going out on loan to play at a senior level.
Position? Video clips?
Google?
How would Donley or Moore compare to Scarlett?
Looked really good. Sounds lazy comparing him to Kane but he's strong, great first touch and has the awareness to play others in. Very promising.
Youth thread. Stickied at the top of this forum.
Moore is 15 years old and plays in the U18s. Fantastic prospect.
I think Donley and Scarlett are just two different players. Scarlett is abit more Defoe in his style, pace and a great finisher, certainly at youth level. Whereas i feel Donley is definitely more Harry Kane. Creative but knows where the back of the net is.
It's a shame we seem to be stuck in limbo of what we want to be as a club. Because we should be giving a path way to these young players to be making our squad and playing minutes in competitions.
Very different players :
Scarlett atm is very much a centre forward who finishes very well.
Donley is a player who plays equally well as striker and no 10 (lazy comparison - Harry Kane)
Mikey Moore - a winger/striker. Exceptional dribbling skills, tight control and excellent footwork , exceptional finisher (very very lazy comparison, might have some of Jimmy Greaves skills ? Except Greaves never a winger. But I can't think of a better comparison)
Similarly to Kane, you want him both crossing the ball in and the one of the end of it. Got high hopes for him
First time I've watched him, but reminded me a bit of Eden Hazard.
Maybe, but I think aged 15 he might be better than Hazard in a few years. But so difficult to compare some players. This video shows off his skills well, superb dribbling around players and tight control/good feet followed by a very precisely hit shot whilst under pressure
Mikey Moore is 15?
Yeah 16th birthday in August so about a year and 4 months until he can sign his first pro deal at 17...not that i'm counting the days or anything...

I suspect you were'nt referencing our very own Micky Hazard, but he was a gifted footballer who happened to be at Spurs at the same time as Hoddle, Ardiles & Villa.
IIRC Hoddle then managed Hazard at Swidon, so clearly recognised his outstanding talent.
Anyway, great night for the U17s. Let's hope some of this generation make it through to the first team.
