In my opinion none are good enough , other then skipp who has potential . Chelsea bring through Hudson-odoi , city bring through phil Foden and we bring through George marsh . It’s embarasing , what in God’s name is pochetino thinking .as things stand we are not making any signings, i wonder if the likes of georgiou, amos, marsh, eyoma and skipp would be promoted to the first team

I read this thread quite often and may have posted once in here.
For all those regulars who feel strongly about the youth in the squad and based upon the outpouring currently going on in the TW forum, who if any would you say is ready to be given the chance to come into the first team?
It's a genuine question from me and only asked purely on what they as prospects could offer us this season.

Thank you for this. I hope that these players mentioned are involved and at the forefront of perhaps what is going to happen come season start.i still think the best two by some distance are onomah and edwards but it seems quite clear that poch doesn't particularly rate and/or like either so i don't expect to see them involved. then you have skipp who is a quality prospect but it's a bit too soon for him to be playing significant minutes, i still hope he can make a handful of appearances over the course of the season though. amos seems to be the best placed but whilst i've always liked him, i don't like him anywhere near as much as the aforementioned three, he can come in and do a solid job but i wouldn't expect any more than that from him. obviously there's kwp too but he's already a [fringe] first teamer so wasn't really including him in any of that.
Same as I said to @Blake Griffin, appreciate the response and the names.KWP won't let us down. Other than that...
Amos, Georgiou, CCV, Marsh, Ogilvie, Sterling, Harrison, Shashoua and Tracey would probably struggle.
Onomah, Skipp, Edwards, Tanganga, Roles, TOB & Eyoma all have potential but are not quite there to varying degrees.
The only one I'd have no hesitations about is KWP.
Maybe time to reassess the Edward situation if we don’t sign anyone, would be great if he could feel he’s being trusted and buckle up his shit
Poch's very paternalistic. Whether you agree with it or not he believes that the youngsters should be respectful, dedicated and professional. Fergie was the same. A 'This is my house and you will abide by my rules' attitude prevailed. Ryan Giggs tells a story where he was in so much fear of Fergie that one day when he and some of the other young lads were messing about at one of their houses with some girls and Fergie barged in unannounced, he (Giggs) hid in a wardrobe until Fergie had peeled the wallpaper off and left. Think about that. The future Ryan Giggs, one of the best footballers this country has seen, knew his f*cking place and would rather cower in a wardrobe than give the boss any lip or give him the "Am I bothered" treatment.
Edwards is the sort of young lad that would rub Poch up the wrong way. He's not a complete tearaway but he's also not very cooperative, humble or professional.
Yeah of course but it’s not like Edwards has done anything unforgivable.
Maybe not unforgivable but he was allegedly late for training every single day. He's a representative of the club and It paints us in a pretty bad light if a player we send on loan does that.
