sir_gary_cahill Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 17 year old right back for the youth team has just signed his first professional contract. I've seen him a few times for the youth team and I've been very impressed. He's very good going forwards and also adept defensively, I'm looking forward to seeing how he develops over the coming years. I think he's a very special talent 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillanousOne Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 (edited) hate to say this, but it's been years since there has been an academy graduate/youth prospect who has gone on to do anything in the first team, Cahill, Albrighton and Davis were good but we rewarded that talent by flogging them/letting them leave. Ridgewell was the best, well when he played for Birmingham. we're still talking about whether Gardner, Baker and Clark will make it and Clark at least is in his mid fifties.

VillanousOne Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 he looks like Justin Bieber! but seriously, fingers crossed he is awesome. Get him in the team now, he can't be worse than Hutton of Bacuna 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sir_gary_cahill Posted July 8, 2016 Author Share Posted July 8, 2016 I forgot to mention that he plays for Wales at u17 level, so it is unlikely that he is related to Ciaran Clark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparrow1988 Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Well Ciaran captained England underage (correct me if I'm wrong - probably am) and now plays for Ireland. Maybe Mitchell was born in Holyhead or Fishguard on the way back from a summer trip to the Emerald Isle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sir_gary_cahill Posted August 29, 2016 Author Share Posted August 29, 2016 Another great performance today from him, it's hard to believe that he's only 17 years old, I'm glad that he's on a professional contract, class Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sir_gary_cahill Posted February 23, 2017 Author Share Posted February 23, 2017 Very good performance last night from him, he played centre back which I think is his best position. He can play right back too, he's an excellent young player, he can hold his head high after last night, very mature performance from a 17 year old Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted February 24, 2017 Moderator Share Posted February 24, 2017 Was he our number 5? The dark haired centre back? (the team sheets had a couple of the numbers wrong) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
