Very unlucky last season. If he stays injury-free the future is bright for him.
Azeez with another long range goal yesterday. Way too good for U23s.
Kido Taylor-Hart officially signs. I assume he plays with the u23s this year but maybe he’ll make the bench for a League Cup game or something like that.
Kevin Betsy, who has coached England U15, U16, U17, and most recently U18s, has been appointed as our new U23 coach.
I know nothing about him as a coach but I like that resume. Seems like an upgrade on Bould, that’s for sure.
Is this more deep rot or just one of those days?
Probably one of those days, I think several of West Ham bench players were playing this game.
This is a Wenger player right here.
I really like TJJ from what I have seen. He has struggled with injuries the last couple years but his game is very well rounded - a lot of people in the academy rated him higher than Nketiah when they were coming through, despite Eddie putting up much more impressive goal scoring numbers. It is a little hard to see exactly where he would fit in most sides today if he did stay healthy and put it all together, maybe as an Iwobi-esque wide playmaker or a team playing a false 9 alongside two goal scoring wingers. You could see him being a really fun second striker in the 1990s in the age of two man strike partnerships
Yep, that’s what he needs to do now. Stay healthy and start getting more goals.
If he does that I would love having him in the mix with Auba next season.
I just saw this video of Patino in the last match against Palace. He needs to mature physically and has a long way to go but he just looks like a player. The ball stays glued to his foot, he always seems to have time, and I think this is only his fifth match at this level. Promising stuff.
Balogun next?
Good move for him I think. He needs regular minutes against grown men more than anything, I’d rather have him guaranteed to play 35 matches in League One than be in and out of a Championship side. And the manager is apparently the same guy who was at Huddersfield and did a great job with ESR as a loan player.
Hutchinson torched and tortured the poor fucker playing LB for Spurs today. Two assists, set up at least 3-4 other chances, drew a foul and hit the bar from a wicked free kick afterward, dribbled the same guy like 20x.
