Going to go watch the u21s against Newcastle in a week or so. Will likely be a fair few trialists but will be worth the watch. The one to watch for me this year is Bobby Moore who’s just joined the u18s as a scholar. He simply has to make it with that name but he is also light years ahead of everyone else at this stage
He’s only 18 still but yes it will be and he is very highly rated yes. He will probably make it at City too he has the ability and mentality to do so.
Owen Foster snapped up by Middlesbrough...Those smoggies know a decent keeper...If CITY didn't already have enough goalies to sink a battleship he'd have stayed. Good luck Owen....Nice kid....
Nothing too specific. I think we may see a few breakthroughs this season/next though. The current u18s are very good hopefully they can do well in the likes of the FAYC I’m off to watch them v Newcastle in a week or so
