Cirkin was Watching the u18s match on Saturday with Michael Craig so he is about,Statham was walking about with no boot or crutches.

Do we know what Bennett injury was a knee or something else?

No, I haven’t heard anything, sorry.

Also, I’m not certain on Bennett, but I’m pretty sure.
Do you or anyone else know if we have a u16 player called Max Mcknight and is he a RB?

Probably worth mentioning that its important to remember that kids don't really have a "position" until they're about 19/20 and even then its primarily in order to aid the development of a particular skill set.

For example Ryan Mason and Tom Carroll played a lot of youth football as forwards but both ended up as central midfielders. Danny Rose was a number 10/8 and has ended up as a left wingback. Jacques Maghoma was a deep lying playmaker and ended up as a left winger. Harry Kane and Reo Griffiths played just about everywhere before they settled as no.9's.

Just because someone like Tarrelle Whittaker has played up front up to this point is no guarantee that he won't end up as a right back.

Watched a clip of him last night but did not know if he was still with us or not.

Yes he's still with us. Reuell Walters nis another RB that left that was good so. Seen Mcknight a few times.most recently at Ipswich looks decent

An interview with Malachi Fagan-Walcott who is not a Wonder Kid and I wish they would not say things like that.

Ramell Carter still around?

Yep, saw him on Saturday being moved in a minibus by himself. Looks like they were trying to hide/protect him, but I could possibly be influenced by what I know of him.

That could just be a way to get one player for whatever reason from one part of the centre to another and him being by himself may be onconsequential.

No mention of Spurs on his insta and no Spurs merch in photos. Not totally sure he’s the sort of prima donna they’d want around ??‍♂️

Don't assume from social media. You also know very little about him, to call a 10 year old a prima donna. Spurs have kept him for a reason as he's a talented player.

I did wonder when I saw him, how Spurs are planning on managing everything around him though. I can't think of any other child in football that has this sort of profile

Did he take part in a u17 match vs Atlanta United Preseason?

Strange situation with Sashon Aird-Munn. Was released by us midway through last season after being highly rated or a number of years. All signs indicated that he'd signed a scholarship with Fulham but he's not listed on their website and he hasn't feature in any of their opening 5 games at U18 level. Wonder if the reports of him winning a deal there were premature.

Another one who supposedly got fixed up with a club that hasn't been seen since is Johnny Nfleko, who was rumoured to have signed for Leciester. Its a bit more difficult to find out because they don't list their scholars anywhere but from my little bit of research he's another one that hasn't featured at all for their U18s which makes me wonder whether that rumour was also false.

I highly doubt it he's an u11 I think. I reckon I would've known if he had. What makes you think he did? Can the game be watched back I can check it out if so.

Sashon Aird-Munn wasn’t released he left off his own accord. I am unsure of the reason.

Johnly-Levi Yfeko is currently a first-year scholar at Leicester. I believe I heard somewhere that he is currently injured, so that would explain why he hasn’t made any squads.

We definitely did. Has played all across defence at various times but is primarily a centre half, I believe.

Maxwell (Max) McKnight is primarily a right-midfielder, but is also a competent full-back (left and right). I don’t recall him ever playing centre-back, but I could be wrong. He is an Under-15, whereas Reuell Walters is and Under-16.

He's a late 04 born right? Whereas Walters born earlier in the year.

When we were looking at Wilmot it was clear in my eyes who was the better player, but he due to circumstanes ended up on tour and showed everyone how good he was despite being behind Dinzeyi and Eyoma apparently, and essentially stagnating last year. Everyone was raving about him, but now he will disappear again and the whole preseason will be meaningless.

I don't even know what the plan is for him, did he resign a new contract. He like Hinds is one that should try their luck away from the club.

As I'm on Hinds and also been speaking on Chelsea, if we could between us actually bring through at least 2 of these 4, KWP, Hinds, Lamptey and James England would have the best RB options in the world hands down. Two will have to leave though I reckon, but both clubs have done well for producing RBs, that's even forgetting to mention Aina and Sterling at Chelsea.

KWP - you are kidding right? :)
