Another Good Day For Our Young Uns

Good to see both our U-17 Eoropean Championship players having a good time, yet again. Freddie Woodman saves a pen and Adam Armstrong scores with England beating Turkey 4-1.

Those two continue to impress I have to say.

 

We should really push them on and try and use them wisely next season. Not loan them out but get them involved.

 

I'd like to see both out on loan next season. With Armstrong (unless he is a world beater), I'd like to see him spend the first half of the season on loan in league 1, somewhere like that. Did wonders for the likes of Defoe etc. By Feb 2015 he'll be turning 18 which is the right time to start to introduce them. He could be exciting for the season after next. I'd like to see Campbell on loan in the Championship. At 19 he needs to get some confidence and start bagging a few goals. Target a club like Bournemouth who will look to develop him rather than sending him up to Scotland.

Woodman is a long way from first team football. At 17, a goalkeeper has a lot to learn.

The likes of Streete, Mbabu, Aarons, Kemen and Satka are all 2nd or 3rd year scholars now so either have to be used in the first team squad or loaned out for first team experience. Going off what little I've seen I'd say maybe only Aarons is ready to be tried out for the first team.

 

Very impressed with what I've seen of Kemen.

In fact most of the youngsters could have done as much as some of our supposed senior players.

Maybe Pards doesn't get close enough to them to ruin their style of play.

 

Kemen and Aarons look real good players in the making.

 

Kemen looks like a fantastic prospect.

 

If he turns out to be the deal then he pays for quite a few of the Vukic's of the world. The thing about buying wunderkinds is that about 1/5 turn out to be wunder, and the rest turn out to be kinderfodder
