Speculation The hysterical and annoying, but traditional, totally unfounded summer 2023 rumours thread - it's started already!

U23 isn’t really a thing now, they’re U21 leagues as of last season.

Yep.

I don't have a problem with signing 16/17 year olds that haven't made it elsewhere but our scouts think they have something.

We seem to go for the 20/21 year olds and that makes no sense to me at all.

We've signed loads of them over the last few years and they've all been shite.

 

[pork pie fox]

But that view has been proven wrong time and time and time again. It only takes one or two gems to make millions.

I disagree, but that’s fine.

I'm certainly not getting excited about anyone who signs for the academy, but you need a whole squad. Aa team of eleven and substitutes are going to be needed so a few that look unlikely to make it to make up the numbers but who will complement those for whom there are higher hopes could still be needed.

Can’t remember a single 20/21 year old that we have signed for the u21s/u23s who has ever been any good, or that we haven’t subsequently released on a free

Plenty who have come through from a much younger cohort (Chilwell, Barnes, Choudhury etc.) but none I can think of from an older age group

 

[homer]

Maybe Iversen came by that route ?

Cant remember now

[homer]

Super stuff

No idea if he’s any good at all, but it’s recruitment into a position we need filling

 

[Jeff]

He was 18 when we signed him.

 

[camberwell fox]

Looks a lot like Daka.

Agreedididi

 

[Graz]

I don't want to be greedy
But I hope the new boy Mavididi
Can connect with attacking mid Wilf Ndidi
And together fire us up the league...y

 

[City Fan]

Looking forward to seeing Mavi’didi play.

Whooosssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

 

[Volpone]

Looks a lot like Daka.

Apart from being black he looks nothing like. Ridiculous.

 

[homer]

Apart from being black he looks nothing like. Ridiculous.

And another whooooosh…

 

[Orifice]

A work colleague (Liverpoo fan) was saying that it's amazing that we're getting him - seems he's highly rated (by a Liverpoo fan that I work with).

 

[ThaiSweetChilli]

Looking forward to seeing Mavi’didi play.

He's the right type of signing for the a position we're desperately lacking in. Now we need another similar player, another striker, CM and a defender.
