Sancho has real talent. The 2 he scored today were good goals but I think the keeper should probably have saved both of them. He saved some better efforts later. At times I felt sorry for the guy marking Sancho as he was made to look bad as he just left him for dead with amazing quick footwork. The one where their number 4 came back to help was really funny. Sancho twisted him a few ways and in the end left him not knowing what the hell he was doing as he bought a dummy and he just walked off.

The lad's just 15!
 
So he's still tearing it up, despite playing in an age group containing players three years his senior... The lad's going to be a star.

He could break Lopes' record in becoming our youngest ever player at this rate - if we bring in Guardiola.

Pep should be the man to mound Sancho, Brahim, Roberts, Barker, etc.

I seriously hope we get Pep in. Can't see how he won't appreciate our academy. There's an arrogance to Pep that basically means he loves being the first to do sumat, doing things his own way - hence why bringing in unknown kids really appeals to him. All truly great managers have that arrogance I reckon.

Sancho was brilliant yesterday. Played like a Brazilian yesterday, with Spanish efficiency. Highest compliment I could pay him. Such a prospect...

Here's my report if anyone fancies a read

Did you manage to get any news on the Brazilian trialist who played for the under 16's?

You say that, but he hasn't done anything with any youth players at Bayern.

Bayern's actually isn't very good though. Our u19s have beat them 6-0, twice, in the past two UEFA Youth League campaigns... ours is different class comparatively, so there is that factor.

Most Bayern fans would claim that's because their academy players are promoted to a higher level at an earlier age. They do have prospects at Bayern but their general approach is to buy the best young players from other Bundesliga clubs once they've proven themselves. I'd hope we would see a better progression with Pep in charge and I think the club have always aimed to get Pep in to integrate academy players. Give it another season and we should be ready to see that. If he comes in next summer we'll be in a position where quite a few players are ready to move on and we can use the academy players largely to replace them. That's what I hope to see in any case. Players like Nasri, Yaya, Sagna, Kolarov/Clichy, Navas, Demichelis can all be replaced by academy players, with possibly one or two established players being bought.
 
I saw him in a tournament here in Greece last May. He is great. Hope to see him the next years in the first team
 
How far apart is Sancho to Brahim? They seem to be the main two players we have that can go on a become real, top-level stars.
