Me mates son's in there. Told me down Wembley he'd been given a 2 year deal. Hope he smashes it. Top young lad from a top family
Looking forward to some analysis from @Scout73 on these lads. Once he's finished on the transfer thread of course.
Ive heard this lad is a really really good prospect... https://www.newsletter.co.uk/sport/...fter-completing-dream-sunderland-move-5205735
Tom Proctor, AMC James Barker, ST Jay Brown, MC Arron Bowman, DL Matthew Burns, MC Lewis Campbell, AMRL, ST Joseph Cowan, GK Charlie Hamilton-Forsyth, DC Harry Hunter, AMRL Alex Lienard, DC, MC Jay Matadeen, AMRLC Finlay Robertson, GK Caleb Shakespeare, AMRLC Robert Walton, DR Positions are just what I could surmise from the article, they might be slightly off. Add these to the likes of: Ben Metcalf, GK Bayley Hester, DRL George Bell, DL Finlay Holcroft, DRC Ben Kindon, DC Archie Lightfoot, DL Charlie Dinsdale, MC Liam Hunt, MC Jayden Jones, MC Joseph Neild, MC Felix Scott, AML Ivan Struk, DM Jack Whittaker, AMC Finn Geragusian, ST Marcus Neill, ST Probably worth adding quite a few of these, although eligible for the u18s, are likely to play more for the u21s next season, Jayden Jones for example played a lot for the u21s last season and the expectation is that he has only got better since then.
Was just looking through transfermarkt at our u18s and u21s for players listed as born in Sunderland, seems a lot of the data is missing for birthplace, but noticed Newcastle u18s and u21s had some players listed as born in Sunderland. Aidan Harris, GK, U21s https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/aidan-harris/profil/spieler/1019170 Jude Cogdon, Midfielder, U18s https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jude-cogdon/profil/spieler/1127330 Henry Johnson, Centre back, U18s https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/henry-johnson/profil/spieler/1169958 Matthew Taylor, Midfielder, U18s https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/matthew-taylor/profil/spieler/1169968 Can't help but wonder if they had the chance to join the lads? Maybe they didn't, maybe they turned us down, maybe they've been apart of their youth sides since we were in the doldrums (parents thought it was a better option), maybe they're just Geordies who just happened to be born in Sunderland Royal Hospital. Makes you think.
