Academy Under 23s / Youth 2018/19

[Robin127]

Keeps him fit plus his experience will help the developing players.

 

[Jeff]

It’s crazy that King is playing really.

If we're trying to get rid of him, it makes sense to play him in competitive matches so he can stay fit, and other clubs can watch him play.

We'd probably be playing Benalouane too, if there was any chance another team might want to take him off us.

 

[Robin127]

Can we get Benkovic back and send Benalouane up there?

I don’t buy that. Firstly who’s watching Leicester U23’s vs Sparta Prague? And secondly who’s going to use a tinpot game like that to make a judgment on signing him?

 

[Jeff]

There are always lots of scouts at under 23 games. Not just from English teams either. I know for a fact that there was a scout from Eintracht Frankfurt at one of our under 23 games last season.

Apparently German clubs heavily scout the U23 games in England, these days.

For up and coming players like the likes of Nelson and Sancho maybe. Not for King or Benalouane.

But English clubs that are thinking of signing King will want to watch him.

There will also be lots of scouts from EFL clubs, looking for players to loan, or sign permanently.

1-0, Knight. Knight was moved up front, and scored a couple of minutes later. Proper striker's finish too.

 

[Jeff]

9 minutes gone, 0-0

 

[Jeff]

1-0 to Leicester. Knight.

 

[Skitzo]

I see the trialist dropped out and Muskwe started, I remember Muskwe being highly rated a few years back

 

[Miles Away]

No Choudhury. No Uche.

More surprises coming? Or have they not been playing in these?

 

[Jeff]

No Choudhury. No Uche.

No Loft, Elder, King or James either.


Probably just wanted to give some of the younger players a game.

Or Maybe some of the players have loans lined up for January and we don't want them to risk getting injured.

Full time, won 1-0.

 

[Motown Fox]

Who was the trialist though? Jeff, anyone?

It probably wasn’t Jeff.

He didn’t play in the end, he’s an Irish-Algerian lad called Ali Reghba

The new Mahrez!!

 

[camberwell fox]
