Not sure how strong the WW team was but this is fantastic result. Well done to the lads.

Think they rested some players..

Sounds like a good game. For those of us too tight to spend a £10 on this do we know if the replay will be on AvTv or just highlights? 

Eventually...

Newcastle, Palace, Liverpool, U21 all got beat. Leicester losing 3-0

Spurs won

Right so that's why theres not any premier league teams in the finals. Is this then Wycombes best team then presumably?

No it isn't their best.

9 mins OT ?

Lindley was one of the 'unsung' heroes of the FAYC final. Looked promising.

agreed, but i thought maybe 60?

He will be in the next youth match - acc to Dean. No rush

Just now, MaVilla said:

Sanson off at half time, lets hop that was planned and not an injury!

He was never going to go 90 mins

Should have been two - Thorndike blasts it over. 

From what I'm reading from various comments - it should be 6 

@lexicon - Thanks. I'm just an amateur statto.

You can see the difference a bit of experience makes tbf

Strangley, on the club site Swinkels is included in U23 - Bogarde U18. Born one day apart.

Excl Thorndike / Sanson - avge age is 18.6

Our front 3 are all 2 yrs older than Swinkels & Bogarde

Sylla is still on our website, so has his move to Spain fallen through?

The club is usually very quick to update these things. 

Not sure about that - they have 8/9 players listed in U18 - with no date of birth.

seeing all these deals flying through is making me a sad bunny....

Why? We made 5 signings - all good.

I assume that Sil S & Lamar B are being saved for U23 - as they still qualify for U18.

I wonder how this will affect the players and their start to the season, obviously I hope it doesn’t have an adverse effect but I fear it might.

WTF?

Why do we, it’s nobody business why someone leaves a job. 

This. Not a problem...

Looks like 1. not yet (declined a contract offer), .2. no and 3. quite possibly.

Looks like we'll have to hijack Spurs' attempts to sign Caleb Chukwuemeka but you'd imagine he'd choose us with his brother here.

I thought Town had rejected our first offer ??

Seeing as the Carabao thread has closed, I'll post this here

Remember this guy, Academy watchers ??

Fate, eh ?

Yup. They worked with the bloke and liked him. I have no problem with it.

Christ, another example of VT upholding it’s reputation

I liken Raikhy to Trevor Brooking. 

The Academy is no longer 'top heavy'

mainly 17-18,  only 4 players 20+

Louie, when you look at your peers for inspiration and find someone to follow in terms of example set, please do not let it be Jack Grealish. Let it be Lionel Messi or Totti. 

 

Don't want him following Totti. Too much fun with the ladies can play havoc with your game.

We are still up £20 million in net spending so surely we still need to strengthen?  If Buendia was bought to replace Grealish then this City deal must have been in the background for months.

A clever club buys players in case you need them - in case your star has injury problems

I do not believe for one moment that Jack is motivated by money.

New contract won't (I think) make a blind bit of difference to his thinking.

Strange that the talk is ofCity lodging a bid - but no mention of 'activating' a release clause in any of the many tweets/articles we've seen.

Strange - if there is one...
