@WindyCOYS Duncan definitely looked one of our best players when he came on, good to see him back
Yes and older one, who was apparently better than Marcus but had no interest in football
I mean we seem to be replacing fringe players most of the time, who then are moved on because they arent afforded time to settleReally? Genuine question as I had assumed most would think our squad has improved over the last 4-5 years. Are you just referencing last year with us losing Walker?
Edwards got any brothers out of interest lol.
Really? Son, Alli, Toby, Sanchez and Wanyama & Aurier I would consider part of our core team now and were all bought within our last 5 Windows and that is over half the 1st 11. IMO only 1 of those was a downgrade (Aurier), though that could change once he has adapted/learnt from Poch.Our core of our squad has been here throughout poch's tenure the last 4 or 5 windows hasnt seen much improvement overall
Sorry but there’s absolutely no denying the squad is getting stronger every window.Even the last 2 windows which haven’t been fantastic. We’ve still added wanyama Upgraded Wimmer for sanchez, added very promising youth in foyth. The only area you could argue we are slightly weaker is RB. But still feel Aurier could get close to walker level. And this window upgraded Nkoudou for moura. I would say there’s only 2 possible openings for youth which is CM and back up striker. Both of which I expect we will address in summer. Which will then mean any youth is gonna have to be better than a proven international to break through. I’m actually pretty sure moura will take our outfield international players to 19.
TBH I was mainly referring to the fact that most of Poch's first 11 have come from what he inherited or in his first season, I included Alli in that but he didnt arrive till laterReally?

I'm a bit puzzled by the lack of updates/reports about Troy Parrott. I'd have expected to hear a bit more about him since he signed.

Indeed, first team manager Mauricio Pochettino was said to have received a glowing first hand report of Parrott’s ability from his son Maurizio who played in the game. As per FIFA Article 19, which deals with the transfers of those under 18 and the protection of minors, Parrott cannot sign officially with the north London club until he turns 16.
I must admit I was a little concerned that Kane Patterson did not play in the Alkass tournament assuming he was injured. Now that I know he has been released it does beg the obvious question of what has happened to the following players who I had assumed were assured of a scholarship this year:
Malachai Walcott
Rafferty Pedder
Chay Cooper
As far as I can judge the following will be in the new batch of scholars:-
Luis Binks
J'neil Lloyd-Bennett
Noni Madueke
Harvey White
Enoch Asante
Kacper Kurylowicz
Troy Parrott
If this is the case it will be one of the smallest intakes of recent years. Does anyone know of any newer possible signings?
Musa Yahaya actually happened, there was that guy from romania that we apparently signed that never actually seemed to be someone, that stank of being a scamMaybe he's another myth signing that never happened, like Musa Yahaya.

I have made the assumption that Marcus Muir and Max Robson are U15's though I could be wrong and therefore they could be in the new intake.
