Currently on the books at Atletico Nacional in Colombia. This was him at 14/15. All very spot on. My mate is a massive nacional fan. He hasn’t played much but apparently he was born in Birmingham is what he just text me. If true. No work permit problems. Just been called up to Colombia u-20s but would be eligible for England if he’s a Brummie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He won big trophies with them as a youngster himself and then again as a returning legend) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MentalM Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 Awesome match yesterday! Great ending to an exciting season. The match also shown me, it is a huge gap between u18 and the PL squad. Could clearly see there are much needed to be learned for Chuk, the potential is skyhigh! Cannot wait to see him more involved in the PL next season. Cant wait to see these guys continue their journey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 (edited) Based on the July 1st cut off point these are the ones from our current U18s/U23s that will qualify to defend the trophy next season... Josh Lane, Oliwier Zych, Frankie Ealing, Sil Swinkels, Aaron O'Reilly, Seb Revan, Ben Chrisene, Lamare Bogarde, Edward Rowe, Taylor-Jay Hart, Tommi O'Reilly, Chisom Afoka, Kahrel Reddin, Carney Chukwuemeka, Dewain Sewell, Ruben Shakpoke... Barry and McBride will miss out by a matter of days, not sure if Chukwuemeka will take part if he's more involved with the first team squad... As well as those there will presumably be a few new signings and the players promoted from the U16s. Edited May 25, 2021 by useless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weren't telling goal contributions (one nearly was though, i think ended in a Barry blocked shot). Chrisene worth a mention too, Swinkels despite some sketchy decisions looked class at times, Bogarde has really good feet. Revan had some good moments too. Young and Rakhi were superb though, Rakhi has got an excellent range of pass and some filthy first touch outside of the boot passing, looked class. Young looks like he knows the number 9 role inside out, fantastic running and the all important timing of the runs were perfect most of the time. Barry reminded me a bit of Overmars playing on the left, hopefully as he matures he'll get even better. A lot of talent all over that pitch, hopefully a few can make it with us long term.

DCJonah Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 Gregg Evans has written a really good piece in the athletic this morning. To summarise, this is all down to the owners. Over the last 18 months they've provided the funds to hire coaches and played a big role in our aggressive recruiting. The owners message was pitched to all potential players. Bogarde was seen as a massive coup. All very positive stuff. And it sounds like the following years will be just as fun. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 Looking at the records our 4th win puts us level with the beaten finalists Liverpool. We are ahead of clubs such as West Ham, Everton and Spurs. These teams have last reached the final in 1999,2002 and 1995 respectively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of interest how many from last night were bought in? Chuk from Northampton but I dont know that story, swinkels, bogarde, sylla, Barry, any others? Hopefully the owners get a buzz from it, huge indications that what they're doing is working Said in the wolves thread that what we're trying to do is crazy hard and ultimately what wolves did is no different from what several other teams have tried to do... But maybe this is slightly different, can't think of anyone who's had a huge crop of youngsters come through as part of their push up the table Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could produce some brilliant talent and ultimately will add value to the club. Millions are wasted on average players, at least this might be productive in the long term. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
