He's only 19 has come back from injury. Hopefully he can show something this year.

Certainly impressed from those clips.
Good strength and some pace, good positional awareness too.
2 assists and a goal.

Thanks mate, but I think it has been posted if its the same one as the Tournoi du France or something. Good teams there. Let's hope there is a stream.
Also on the back of the news of Lloris' injury, though there are now reports of him being back for the season who do we reckon would have stepped up us as 2nd keeper. Has the loan of McGee been confirmed if not, would you have preferred Glover or McGee?

I was wondering how Sinlcair would be able to further himself with the scousers, I reckon he could be a good addition to our development squad. May fit in with our English bunch too ?

@THFCAcademy 2nd video on CCV this time him playing against the Southampton u21s
Other than his dominance in their air, composed nature on the ball and no nonsense defending, this also shows examples of his pace and strength against their striker.

Yes but quite a few months ago now, when he wouldn't be so much direct competition for Harrison. My guess is that he carries too much baggage with him and with a year left on his contract not sure he wouldn't prove expensive. Would want to look at him-plus a few 19 year olds to see who would be the best, not sure Sinclair would be first choice as an acquisition if he hadn't said 'here I am, I want to leave Liverpool, who's interested'

Agree Harrison would win hands down for me like Kane Harrison is a finisher and scores in big games at the level he is at and if he can keep on doing that as he goes up the levels he will find himself in the same position as Kane in the fist team even though he is a different type of player to Kane.

Glover for me a big keeper with good Communication skills.

McGee would certainly be number 3 - he is a talented keeper though still needs to improve his distribution skills, though his pretty good on the ball, he made a few errors last season which cost goals notably at United and Liverpool at home but overall had a decent season
Glover for a first year did well he is a big lad still needs to improve his decision making which hopefully will come with experience and has a happy knack of saving penalties. Lots to like about him but he is a bit behind Luke in terms of both experience and overall ability at the moment which may change in the future
Hi Ralph do you have a connection with the club or just watch the youth players I saw you commented on Edwards as well

I live close to the training ground and have had the good fortune to see a lot of the games over the last few years - just opinions like anyone else and talking to people over there -
I have been reading this board for a while and in particular this thread - its great that it generates the amount of interest it appears to - I would encourage anyone who can to try and watch the youngsters but it is a different game to senior football - players all develop at different rates and it takes time and the moves forward in levels for the boys though they don't sound huge are really significant. A boy can be playing U18's and then like at Leicester U21's last season face a team where 8 or 9 of them had played senior football or even like Maghoma last season who had looked really good for the U18's was then played of the park at Norwich by Hooper a no more than reasonable centre forward. Then its not about performance its about how he learns from it and he continues to do so.
I think currently we have some really talented boys at the club but they need opportunities and I hope and believe a few of them can push forward this season and pressure the first team
To be fair though I thought Mags did ok 16yrs old against a 26yrs old (former youth player) with a lot exp, not desputing he didn't get an education but at 16 I am sure Reece Oxford would have had problems, also not seen much of Oxford but he looks good but at West Ham he is there golden boy whilst at Spurs we have so much talent if you asked who out golden boy was there would be a lot of answers.

I wasn't intending to criticise Maghoma who I have a very high regard for (personally I think given time he will outshine CCV as a defender but that's a view not shared by many). More of a point that football for the youngsters is all about education - Maghoma was beginning to find it easy at U18 level and that game served as a lesson. For me after it he took a little time to find his level again but gradually he did, improving in particular his aggression and his awareness which is something I think Sprs and in particular Ehiogu have worked on with him
West Ham have a couple of decent youngster mainly defenders and a boy they got from Arsenal looked good but to quote Barry Davies 'frankly who cares'

I don't think you were saying anything at all negative I think your post was spot on, my point was more different people have different expectations and views, although we both agree Mags needs to develop some could argue he was out of his depth I thought he did really well considering and he would have improved from the exp.
p.s I like Maghoma but I think CCV Is a better defender currently.

The goals have come against very low level teams, but it's a good start for him anyway.
Their fans seem very impressed by him so far .

My point was about west ham
Loosing there youth players, was not pay related they were not very good at the time and got relegated if they had built on what they had they would prob have kept them, plus there fans hated lamps no wonder he could not wait to leave.
You say we don't pay enough how do you know ? We have paid less than the top 4 for a very long time and managed because levy understands we can't compete so we operate a very different way. I doubt we will loose josh, Edwards is far more complex, josh has played well above his age at spurs for a very long time he will get a pay increase if he needs one. Let's be honest levy has been very good at this since sol, and everyone not long a go harped on about bents leaving.
