The Youth Thread

No he didn't, his first start came under Sherwood. He made a few 3-8 minute cameos under Lambert.

Yeah that's what I meant to say (honest)
Seriously though the kid looks almost like a young Ronaldo less the stepovers and shit. No fear, cocky and full of confidence.
Wish more young players would get the chance to play week in week out, but unfortunately they don't .

We all need a Tim Sherwood in our lives.

Only things he needs to work on are his pace and his decision making (which will obviously come with experience), as at times he slows our moves down a little too much.

He could do with bulking up a bit too, he's a bit soft atm. But that'll come with time I guess. Poor lad is currently being abused on twatter for turning Ireland down

 

[Ebeneezer Goode]

It'll be interesting to see who he chooses. Hard to see why he'd delay so long if he had his heart set on playing for Ireland.

 

[JaseTheVillain]

I honestly think he's just waiting for that call from Woy...

This is the lad who might be the next best bet to come through at City. Only joined in the summer, mind but scored a few in pre season and has looked great in the youth team.

Shame he played today as I'd have liked to have seen him given a run out this weekend.

Is he a forward or wut mate?

i think he'd have been called up if it were not against Ireland next

Definitely, he'll probably get a call for the pre-season match.

 

[Ebeneezer Goode]

I doubt they'd have been able to rush the paperwork through with FIFA in time even if it weren't Ireland. I do think that the comment about it being inflammatory is telling from Hodgson though. If he weren't confident of Grealish playing for England then I doubt he'd even be thinking about something like that. I know MON has gone out of his way to suggest that Grealish would find it difficult to get into an England squad, but those comments make it sound like he's nailed on to get called up for the San Marino game if he makes himself available.

Tyler Roberts has been called up for Wales. Would break the youngest player record if he features against Belgium. Must have something about him if even Tony Pulis is getting him mixing with the first team at WBA.

Pretty decent progress. Our kids were playing their games at council playing fields a few years ago.

Swansea City’s Academy will play Category One fixtures at both U21 and U18 level this coming season. The club is continuing to work towards securing full Category One status, but in the meantime the Premier League has promoted the Swans to the higher level ahead of a forthcoming audit at the end of the year.

 

[footballfanwars]

Apparently Adam Johnson has been dropped to the youth team, he's okay with that though; he likes playing with kids.

 

[silkyman]

I see what you did there.

 

[BlueBee]

Unreal banta.

Yup, who needs Sterling. Ibe is far superior already.
