Still a million miles to go whether he is or isn’t in tomorrows squad. Plenty of players have made the bench for clubs this weekend from the academy. Judge them when they’ve proved themselves over 10-20 games in the mens game.
Nothing to get excited over a right back neither.
No he’s not 5ft9 at all. He’s more like 5ft6 or 5ft7 max, possibly even 5ft5. And I think he’s finished growing height wise.
I mean an academy player that comes through the ranks at the same club .
As I say my expectations are high, and I don’t think mcatee or palmer will make the grade neither at our club. Foden was a freak.
Good luck trying to replace Kyle walker with an academy player though! Hopefully we give the lad experience and sell him on for profit. But to replace Kyle’s pace, power and ability to get up and down the pitch, I just can’t see it coming from a young academy lad.
Mate chill out. Our academy is fantastic.
Also why on earth do you seem so sure a 17 year old is finished growing?

he should be played as a winger. as a fullback he will be like playing a kid against grown men.
Perhaps he has an array of skills that Kyle doesn't. Football is about what you are good at as much as what you are not, and Kyle would tell you that he has no left foot whatsoever, just as one example.Good luck trying to replace Kyle walker with an academy player though!

Amazing moment for him, he was told yesterday to expect it. His family are rightfully so proud..!

Sounds like you perhaps know the family.
Lewis is probably the best academy prospect, at right back, I have ever seen in the last decade.
He can be like Cancelo for us on the right side in the future.

I know his mum and Grandparents, his Grandad is one of my best mates. We knew he'd get his chance this season, but not this soon..! Thought it'd be in a cup game.
His younger sister is in the women's academy too.

Thought he had a decent debut today, only a cameo but 12 passes with 100% completion is a good start.
It won't be the only time he plays this season, so he deserves his own thread.

First time I’ve actually seen him in the flesh, and was surprised by how small he actually is. Great to see him get some minutes though. Think Pep likes him.Thought he had a decent debut today, only a cameo but 12 passes with 100% completion is a good start.
