Some depressing news if true. Noni Madueke our U16 and England U16 midfielder has been poached by Manchester United!. Can any of our more knowledgeable contributors confirm or rubbish this?

It's in Mail today

Manchester United are looking at signing Tottenham midfielder Chukwunonso Madueke, 16, after he turned down the offer of a new contract from the north London club. (Mail)

IG where was the game Rush green ? On a scale of 1 to 10 how bad a facility is it lol ?

Ye lol. I was going to post at the time, the faces of our players coming out of the portacabin changings rooms was amusing especially as it was raining. It had flooded all around. You know when you hear about PL players having all fancy facilities and not knowing how to slum it when they go on loans, that was a taster for our players. The 2 pitches from what I can see were decent, put it is basically just a pavilion (really small) with portacabin changing rooms. As I only have our place to compare it to which would be a 9/10, I don't know how bad their place is. But the fact it is attached to a primary school surely can't be higher than 5

I doubt anyone at the mail even knew Madueke existed. They’ve just got that off here or twitter.

edwards assist at 2:45




norwich have a few injuries for tomorrow so hopefully he can get on the pitch, finally.


Nice little flick in the build up to first goal I think, good to see he still has his confidnce

We won our first game of MIC Cup 3-0 against De Anza Force and drew 2-2 against UE Quart

Norwich have 2 games in 48 hrs. So if they have injuries as well he really should get some minutes. They have nothing to play for so you’d think he may give Marcus minutes. Also I’d guess there’s a strong possibility he could go out on loan again, and if he feels comfortable there would make sense to extend it another year. Could be used as a make weight in Maddison transfer.

england u16s beat cameroon 2-0, malachi walcott started.

interested to see him properly as he didn't leave me with a great first impression from the arsenal highlights from earlier on in the season.

Think it was an unfortunate game for him. For someone tall be looks very assured with the ball

u17s beat dynamo kiev 2-1, parrott and markanday scored.

Kalum Cesay still around didn't recognise him in the squad pic I posted a couple days ago. Probably confirmation Cooper us staying.

Saw a tweet about someone that used to go to Poch jr school that said they didn't think he was that good and were surprised he was at an academy. Says a lot when even school kids don't even rate him.

england u16s beat cameroon 2-0. walcott started, albeit out of position, he did about as well as you could expect from a massive cb playing at rb. cirkin came on at half time and was decent again, put in a really nice cross at 28:45 in the vid below




he seems like an intelligent heads-up player to me, comfortable on the ball and supports attacks well. kind of how i imagine a 15 year old ben davies would've looked.
