Anyone know if there are any promo codes for Spursplay?
If I'd known they were going to be televising all our youth matches then I would have signed up at the start of the season!

Which of the U18s are likely to move up next season? Black, Baptiste, Olusesi, Ajayi? Also, based on that performance I think the U18s could be a fun watch next season. Williams-Barnett and Adewole both looked very promising.

It’s a really big year next year for some of these players. We need to get some of these young talents ready for the first team.

Lankshear, Donley, Dorrington, Santiago should train with the first team over the summer and get a loan out alongside Devine/Phillips/Scarlett. I’d probably put Gunter in that category too, he looks really good. Interesting to see if Moore is ready too.

Personally, I’d like to see Donley, Santiago and one of Dorrington/Phillips as options for midfield and defence next season with Gil and Gio likely going. Spend that money on a nice shiny striker, winger, DM and backup at FB.
add Soonsep-Bell to the list too, 10 goals and 6 assists in 18 matches

Black, Baptiste, and Ajayi will all be 18 in the summer so move up from the U18 group automatically.

Also in their year group are Rowswell, King, Wilhoft-King, Arganesse-McDermott, Irow, and Akhamrich.

And goalkeepers Krasniqi and recent England U18 call up Carey Bloedorn.

Hall in the same age group has already moved up.

Moore and Olusesi in the year below but my guess is they’ll both move up a year early.

It'll be a massive boost for Mikey to get a bench spot in a massive game.
We've obviously got a lot of belief in the lad by what was rumoured in his contract to fight off the big boys nabbing him.

It's a big step up for the lad, it's a bloody big step up but I guess he's highly thought of for a reason.
Would be nice to bring a teen through soon.

I'm really looking forward to pre-season. Considering that a number of our players will be involved in the Euros or Copa America, likely means we'll see more of the younger players included in the early parts of pre-season and the scheduled games.

What’s Lankshear’s ceiling? very impressive figures for the under 21s but seems to be behind Scarlett who isn’t tearing up any trees either on loan, 1st team or when he’s featured for the u21s.

I’d rather we have minutes to the likes of Donley, Moore, Santiago and hall then give glc, skipp and others minutes.

I’d love to see a bit more integration and if we can’t get top 4 then give them some opportunities.

Pretty sure we broke new ground with the type of contact we offered him, mainly to fight off the likes of Barca, City and a couple of others who were circling.

I'm sure it was said in here that we offered him the type of contact we've never offered a youngster before.
Whether that had certain parts about fast-tracking his progress, I don't know but it was intriguing at the time and I'm sure someone who knows more (and has a better memory) than me will remember what was said and by who.

I think it was either @Hercules or @Trix but I think the latter has me on ignore. 😁

Even if he's not on the bench tomorrow it would be nice for him to be involved in the warm ups on the pitch to get a feel for what is essentially the biggest league game for the club.
