I know he was generally a little more advanced, but could put in a tackle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted April 13, 2020 Moderator Share Posted April 13, 2020 I would say that the five players most likely to come through that are currently in the academy are: Jacob Ramsey (CM) - based on coaches opinions and his performances on loan and for the U23's Louie Barry (ST) - based on one viewing for the U23's and a whole lot of good opinion from elsewhere Carney Chukwuemeka (CM) - based almost entirely on Christian Purslow's opinion - I've seen him a couple of times, but not enough to know one way or the other Kaine Kesler (RB) - bright, lively, quick and talented - he's one of two that are unheralded but really stand out for me. Jaden Philogene-Bidace (LW) - quick feet, tricks galore, goes past people for fun and will give full backs nightmares - he's a joy to watch and a huge talent - the other less heralded player that stands out and for me the biggest talent in terms of the limited performances I've seen this season. What's very worrying is that we could lose two of those for nothing this summer - it's something we really do need to take care of at our academy. Of those, only Ramsey really is first team ready for day one of next season - the others are all still growing and learning - but I really look forward to seeing these again when the game restarts and I think we'll do very well in the FA Youth cup with them.

Sort the contracts out Purslow! Jacob Ramsey signed a new 3.5 year contract in January before he was sent out on loan.

Thanks for giving your opinion on the other players Yes, the contract problems for me are Chukwuemeka and JPB - I'd be gutted to see us lose JPB to City or Arsenal or Bayern and watch him turn into Jaden Sancho. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t get me wrong, I think Philogene-Bidace is a very good prospect but he is nowhere near as good as Sancho. Sancho is a once in a generation player I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It needs more than just putting in a tackle.....you need to manage the game and dominate from centre midfield....you need to be physically uncompromising and at the same time start attacks with slick passing. he is nowhere near that.
