The Youth Players/On-Loan Thread 2017/18

[Bullet]

Id agree that lower league loans are more about the experience than they are performance based

Yes, plenty of players say "I was only a kid, surrounded by superstars, then when I went to play for bricky FC suddenly the players were saying 'we better stay up or I'll lose my house' and 'if we don't win my glamour wife will leave me and I'll be out on the streets' so I suddenly realised that this is real life, it really matters".

Such a shame that the UEFA Youth game is day time and not evening wouldn’t have minded popping along.
I’ll just have to put it on my phone while at work if it’s on BT.

The U18s beat Arsenal 4-1 in the semi final of the U18 PL Cup, Griffiths x3 and P.Maghoma got the goals.

We now face Chelsea again, in the final.

Will they have a team of giants like they had last year?

That was actually my last time at the lane.

That Griffiths guy isnt mean to be half-decent isn't he? Anyone seen him play?

They have a good mix of smaller technical types and then a few bigger physical/athletic players. They're just incredibly good at this level and have been for years now, will be very difficult to beat them.

I've seen him a lot but still don't really know what to think of him. He's a powerful player and has a good instinct of where to be but just the way he moves both with and without the ball looks a bit unnatural, it's difficult to explain. He was apparently a defender up until he was 14/15 so he's still a bit rough around the edges technically but he's certainly effective - he's got 21 in 25 this season.​

Luke Amos(on loan at Stevenage) scored a nice goal today:

I imagine Sterling will start, Griffiths on the bench.

What about RR he is not quite highly rated?

 

[Yoof]

What about RR he is not quite highly rated?

He is but he's a club year below Griffiths and two below Sterling, he'll probably be on the bench. He can play as the main striker but at the moment he typically plays just behind or off the right.

Every time I see a Chelsea prospect they fit into two categories ... little skilful players or big beasts

What I think hurts them development wise is they don’t get taught how to be flexible in their play.

It’s something I noticed in the youth world cups. Chelsea players played in an almost robot like way and repeated it

It wins you youth trophies but doesn’t teach players how to play

No Edwards again for Norwich

I see CCV is playing.

Just turned it on what's he been like.
Ipswich look quite useful

I haven't been playing too much much attention to be honest.

Pundits have said he's doing well.

Yep and on the bench either. They making him earn it or is he injured still?

 

[Cochise]

I'm a little bit disappointed that Edwards hasn't even made the bench yet. I guess the experience of being out there will help him, but surely not playing is not.
