How highly rated is lo-tutala

I mean to play for France at any level you’ve got to be pretty decent. I always like keepers that are a presence and fill the goal and he certainly does that at 18 he’s an absolute unit. Will probably actually have to watch he doesn’t become to muscle bound as he’s obviously just built that way and you don’t see many keepers that look like Traore haha.

Just saw couple of Ramell Carter goals from weekend got a sweet left foot on him. Be on a pre season tour before you know it.
I always try to see if he’s still with us every year or so - great to know he still is as it’s almost certain to expect flashy wonder kid type to drop off…obviously want him to make it but don’t want to get my hopes up yet.

Thanks for the update!

I enjoyed it! Yo mentioned BLF and I wanted to get your opinion on him. Have you seen him play in the DM role? Do you think he'll be better off long term playing as DM or CB?
It’s an interesting one that has effectively opened up by George Marsh being released and Jamie Bowden going on loan. We are so well stocked at CB - Walcott, Muir, Omole and Paskotši that it was sensible to try BLF in another role. He’s never quite reached the really high ceiling I thought he was going to when first seeing him as an U15 CB but he has a great range of passing and composure on the ball. I’ve seen him once live this season and was genuinely impressed. I hope Walcott heads out on loan in January. Shame his spell at Dundee was cut short by injury.

Cheers! It's great to have you on the forum, I check your twitter page daily and it's great to read up and hear about the academy.

told Academy Year 1 player, Axel Piesold has been released. The Finsbury Park born midfielder was announced as part of 14 strong scholarship in July but not made a match day squad for the U18’s this season. Missed a whole year with injuries too. Good Luck Axel

Man, that's a real shame. What you do you make of it Lilywhite? Its quite an unusual move. The only reason I can think for doing this is that we're pretty convinced that his injury has ended his chances at a professional career. Especially considering some of the less than quality youngsters we've kept on for years because of their struggles with injuries, Jeremie Mukendi, I'm looking at you.

He must have been clearly below par, but who knows could be external reasons. Harsh but probably best for both rather than drag it out for 6 months. Wonder if he will be replaced.
