The "Others" in the Academy

[Durutti City]

Going back to the original point, it will be interesting to see to what (if any) extent Zin's emergence as a sort of 'touch player' responsible for keeping the ball moving and retaining shape etc. (as distinct from conventionally recognizable full-back skills) will reinvent the role. Could start seeing more midfielders moving (sort of) back to full back...

Callum Doyle loaned to Sunderland for a year. The initial rumours had it being a 2-year loan deal but that seems not to be the case.

I saw that Lee Johnson is their manager. I hope Sunderland sticks with him and Doyle gets plenty of game time. I remember his Bristol City team playing good football and impressing against us a few years back. It'll be a great learning experience for Doyle who really looked like a man against boys last season for the youth team.

Anyone got an appraisal of how Kian Breckin is getting on?

 

[Otamendi's Beard]

I'm looking forward to watching more of the Scottish signings this season. Didn't get to see much of Mebude, Josh Adam or Liam Smith.

Should be their year to shine in the U18s.

I was just talking about these 3 plus Fiorini with the wife. We're up in Scotland and I've been telling the locals that the Scottish national team have a much brighter future after a few decades of dross.

He doesn’t often get a mention and is probably behind THB and Callum Doyle in the pecking order but I thought Finley Burns had a very good second half at CB against Preston, he handled some very experienced championship forwards fairly comfortably in partnership with Sandler

Reminds me of a young Leroy Sane.

Was never really that impressed by Edozie last season for the EDS but he’s looked good in the past two games. He might even have a chance of starting against Leicester as we don’t really have anyone else to play on the left with Sterling, Foden and Torres not back yet.
