Is Donley playing for England? I thought he was Northern Irish?

Only joined as a 1st year academy player this summer. Pretty impressive that he's got a pro deal before the club have even bothered to put his profile up on the website!

They must have been impressed with his name.

Presume he was offered the pro deal as part of the incentive to join from Luton last season as Chelsea and others were also
interested.

 

[Spurzinho]

Pele hasn't even made the bench yet so I imagine, as lilywhite says that this was an obligation as part of the deal to sign with us.

 

[kmk]

We have Pele and R9 at our club. What a time to be alive.

 

[Lilywhite Rose]

Told summer signing Tyrell Ashcroft has torn his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and will be out for around 9 months.

Tough news for the 18-year-old right back who has established himself as a first choice at RB or LB in Wayne Burnetts U21s

Good luck to him with the recovery ?

Does anyone know if he's related to the McDermott who was running our academy a few years ago?

Very well judging by his selections this season. Seems to have been moved from a left-back to a Centre-back and had his first U21s start in the Papa Johns match vs Peterborough and has started both of our Youth Champs League matches. Will continue to get lots of game time with Ashcroft and Sayers out long term.

I must've missed the injury to Sayers, what injury does he have?

looks like Mikey Moore having a good start to the season as an U16

Guardian's Next Gen 20 is out today on their site - https://www.theguardian.com/footbal...0-of-the-best-talents-at-premier-league-clubs

Hans Willhoft-King (defensive midfielder) is the one identified at Spurs. This is the write up from Hytner:

Tottenham always pick their strongest team in the FA Youth Cup and last season, that meant starting Willhoft-King in every tie – even though he was still a schoolboy. The journey lasted three games and it was an excellent experience for the standout talent of his year group at Spurs but it is where Willhoft-King intends to go next that is exciting. At the club since the age of six, the England under-16 international is smooth on the ball and was pretty much a regular for the Spurs Under-18s from last October, although he would miss the end of the season because of injury. His range of passing is impressive.

Any thoughts from the regular youth watchers?
