Amo-Ameyaw is on the bench for Southampton's first game in the Championship.

One of the boys we lost to Southampton amo something is on the bench tonight for them at 17, which is good at championship level. How highly rated is he?

Markanday scores for Blackburn

Or as Neil Lennon on Sky referred to him as Mandalay. Near enough, he’s not the brightest.

Noticed that Tom Glover is back in English football after some years home in Australia. Sat on Middlesbrough bench today.

Is Ashley Phillips likely to form part of the senior squad or is he going back on loan?

So I'm guessing that we'll see loan deals for Devine, White, Craig, Parrott, John and probably Scarlett (depending on what happens with Kane). Any other players we think should get a loan this season?

Who is the new lead academy coach with Chris Powell leaving?

I expect some restructuring in the youth division as Yaya Toure also left as well.

Lyons-Foster, Santiago, possibly Sayers. Paskotsi if he is sufficiently back on his feet. I believe Soonsup-Bell was promised a loan.

Anyone with an educated opinion on Alfie Dorrington? You think he could become a key player for us and if so when?

After a year out of the game Nya Kirby has signed for Oxford City who were just promoted to the National League.

Woah, what happened there??? Had such high hopes for him, and didn't he leave because he thought he was too good to languish in the youth team any longer?

Not exactly. Chelsea tapped him up when he was still an U16 and Kirby turned down our offer of a scholarship. We explained to Kirby and Chelsea that we were going to kick up a stink and make the move as difficult as possible and Chelski decided to drop it. That left Kirby pissing in the wind. He had trials at the Arse and I think Liverpool but they passed on him and he ended up having to drop down a level with Palace who are a Cat 2 academy. Unfortunately for Nya Roy Hodgson was the manager during his time at the club and Hodgson rarely gave youngsters a chance. He had a couple of meh loans in League One and Two and then got released. I have no idea what he's been doing for the last 12 months because he doesn't appear to have been trialling with anyone, at least not that I can find. Now he's playing for Oxford City who got tonked 5-2 in their first game of the National League season and are favourites to get relegated.

Another billy big b*ll*x from that time Reo Griffiths is currently frozen out at League Two Doncaster where he's on the transfer list and in all likelihood is going to have to drop down into the National League to get any minutes.

When England won the under 17 World Cup , the standout was Foden. Altogether 6 of that squad have played for the full England team. We had 2 in the team , T J Eyoma and Tashan Oakley Boothe , plus our ex, Nya, was in the squad as well.
TJ currently languishing at Lincoln. TOB was at Stoke, then loaned to Lincoln and currently without a club.
just shows how difficult it is at the top level.
even Foden isn’t a fixture at City, will probably be this season. Far superior to Grealish in my opinion. Played half the number of Grealish last season and scored twice as many.
