Isaiah Dada-Mascoll

Agreed. Bobb, Ndala and Dada-Mascoll are the big ones for me as well. Got to keep an eye on Lakyle Samuel and Justin Oboavwoduo too. Samuel is someone that could do the Stones role in the future
Good call on Justin - his rate of improvement was really rapid last year.
 
Great to see. These young lads will all have seen Rico emerge last season and been encouraged they could follow suit. As much as the level we're at dictates we need a high quality squad, it would be lovely if we could keep developing academy players and for them to be a big part of our continued success. I'm not quite expecting Barcelona levels, but it was nice to see so many academy lads involved in our pre-season games, particularly as aside from Bobb they're English. Throw Walker, Stones, Phillips and Grealish in and plenty of English lads too.

It'll probably be all English lads from now on at the academy.
The likes of Bobb and Borges would no longer qualify to play for us.
Not sure if it will make any difference.
 
Top talent but to put some context on it and not overhype, most of academy U18 lads have trained with the first team in the past 12 months, including many not hyped on here. The club Regularly dip them in depending on position needed, if they are fresh legged and not played too many minutes that week for academy etc. good system where most get to experience first team sessions. You can often pick up an unfamiliar face from training pics and videos.

I imagine he would have made a good impression

He was the under 18 top scorer last year wasn't he? Seemed to have a really good head on his shoulders in the video we put out of all the teams top scorers watching eachothers goals. Normal haircut, no tattoos, eloquent and humble.

His goals weren't bad either! Erling, Carlos & Bunny all said one of his strikes was their favourite.

What is the new rule now? Cant see how Borges wouldn't be able to play for us?
