Good to have you on the forum Mr Levy! Welcome.
.It has been highjacked and just landed in Barcelona with a fat Portuguese guy flying it
He's joining us in the Summer I believe.
One thought is if enough of these guys pan out, the club will have far less need for purchases, thus will be in a better position to offer these guys the kind of wages they’d get from the clubs we would otherwise sell them to. So if the team is good, coach is good, they’re happy, London, world class facilities, and they get great wages, maybe they’d stick around into their primes.
HAHA .... fucking funny that ..It's kind of unsettling how many adult men on here are commenting on a teenage boys looks.
King Alfred, circa 872.
I'm not too sure on that mate, though I suspect there is an element of truth in what you say.
It's the chiseled jaw and broad chest and arms that look like they could hold you and you'd be safe from the whole worl--
I am not quite sure where to post it, but I also cannot contain my excitement regarding our future.
We have SO MUCH exiting talent in EVERY line, only don't know about GK but Venom should be top notch goalie for next 6 years comfortably, so fuck that position
But in defense - we already have U-Dog who is just 21 and VDV who is 23 which is just a puppy-age for a CB. Dragusin is also 21 and one of most exiting talents in Europe for me, but already has some real experience. Looking forward down the line, we have secured services of Vuskovic that is so highly regarded 16 yo. From our own academy we have Dorrington, 18, who has been in England youth teams and bossing in youth league for us. Plus we have sent out Phillips who seems like an absolute monster physically already at age of 18. Also not only tall, but also strong.
In midfield - again starting with already starters - Sarr at 21 who already has been THE BEST midfielder of this season for Spurs and his ceiling is ... well there is none basically. He already is a star, and could be one of the best midfielders of his generation. Now we signed Bergvall who, I admit, I don't know all that much about, but for 17 yo player to have senior NT debut and 41 senior games under his belt can't be much of a plodder, can he? Then we have Alfie Devine, 19, that already aced League One and had brilliant start in Championship as well. Plus he has a senior goal for us registred, don't forget that!
And well, most talents we actually have in frontline - Brennan Johnson is just 22 and has double figure EPL goals on his name; Kulusevski is still really young at 23, despite playing so many games already. Veliz is still just 20, but already has his first EPL goal and looks really promising. We've already seen Donley, 19, getting 4 sub-appearances and never looked out of place. We have Soonsup-Bell (feshly 20) who is among best scorers and assisters in U21 league who we lured over from Chelsea. We have Parrott (still just 21) staring, scoring and assisting in Eredivise. We have Yago Santiago (20) who has been on senior side bench number of times and is scoring and assisting for fun in U21 side, we have Will Lankhear (18) who is 4th biggest scorer in U21 EPL and has 3 goals from 3 games for U19 England side. We have Scarlett (still just 19) who was trusted 45 minutes in Carabao cup and who Ange also brought on vs Burnley. Even further down the line, there is Mikey Moore. 16 yo kiddo who is pulling up trees in U18 EPL (9 goals and 6 assists in 9 games) and has 6 goals in 8 games for England U17.
And I left out Gil who obviously is technically also gifted player, but is so far in the pecking order this season + physically made no progress over years, so I'm fairly convinced his time with us will conclude with current season.
Obviously not all of them will become stars or superstars or starters for us.
But from past 10 years I do not remember anything close to this kind talent being "in pipeline".
In total that is already 7 players 23 or under that who are either starters or among first options off the bench. And then further 11 players that are either on loan to get some experience or dominating in youth leagues. As we are on 11 wins from 11 games in U21 EPL and 2nd (with equal points with leader) in U18 EPL.
Future is bright. Future is Lilywhite.
We're playing real life Football Manager the exciting way, not the insane way Boehly is
Germans used to call it something but for the English its just another Albert Ryan.
