MCFC U-18's

In about three years time we should have one helluva good first team squad there are a lot of good players in this group who are showing at this moment a very good chance of making the grade. The first 11 against West Ham was a very strong team.

We have one helluva good first team now.... and they're quite young.

Yes we do ;) but when we can have a larger group of players coming up through our academy adding to it we will have a bigger squad and we won’t have to compete with other clubs who will pay the highest price for the elusive elite players if we can produce that here.

I think if we get two or three every three or four years we will be doing exceptionally well.
Currently we have Foden, Diaz and let's say Muric.
As I said we'll be doing well to get three palyers from the current U18's. I sincerely hope we do, but it'll be extremely difficult to take the place of our current
crop in their early twenties.

New signings Ben Knight and Jaden Braaf are obviously 2 to look out for.

From what I've seen Fiorini and Ogunby are class players, Ogunby a natural goalscorer, Fiorini more of a silky attacking midfielder.

Tommy Doyle is the main man for me though. Class touch and passing, all round midfielder with a great long range strike.

Also be keen to look out for D'Margio Wright-Phillips, son of Sweep.

Doyle is probably the stand out and hopefully back from injury soon. Ogunby is good but not at all convinced he will make it at the top level. Not seen enough of Fiorini but clearly there is real talent there. Good first touch , good awareness , scores goals but I do wonder if he disappears a little when he needs to show he is the dominant midfield player in the game. Bit like Manu Garcia in that respect.

As I said a bit early to judge and it's not the best time when we are thrashing teams 6 nil. Wolves were woeful!

One I do like is Rowan McDonald. Captain's the side from holding midfield and then slipped into the center half role late on. Composed and strong.

I have heard good things about Jason Mcatee who played for the 16's I think and then came over to the 18's for a brief late appearance. Reminded me of Foden!
