Yep, I actually know him so it's been good for him to finally play for England.
The chants for Kenny Dalglish that were heard again on Wednesday do not necessarily mean that the fans see him as the saviour. This is not Newcastle, longing for the return of Kevin Keegan. Simply, Dalglish represents everything Hodgson is not and, in fairness, everything Hodgson could or would not hope to be.
I for one love our new youth recruitment policy. Pretty much what I do in Football Manager too
Doesn't seem immature to me, seems to have a good head on his shoulders.
jay had a spell at leicester and played some regular first team football there - robinson has not had that yet - if the club felt he would have benefited going on loan for a few months and playing tough competitive games then I'd be more prone to trust them than the opinion of a spotty teenager -
At the very highest level, tactics make every difference. They are the difference between United grinding out a win against Barcelona (2007/2008) and them being played off the park (08/09). They are the diffference between Spain going out early at the world cup and winning it, between England getting to the final of Euro 2004 and losing out on penalties to Portugal (in that case, cause Scolari threw the kitchen sink at England)
He's a quick skillful winger, similar to sterling but left footed left midfielder, he should link up with ohanlon well for the u16,s. Great job by camolli and good news for the academy.
Spearing turned down two loan offers before going to Leicester. Sometimes it is about the right loan deal rather than a loan deal.In any case, I remain far from convinced that the club recommended a loan deal to Robbo, he has become part & parcel of the first team squad at a young age, and is very much seen as a star of the future. Even at 14 he was head & shoulders above his age group at the academy, generally playing in central defence, he looked a professional amongst kids.The club have and have had a long term plan for him, and that is going according to plan, hence the new extended contract. Some shite spouted on an internet forum is really irrelevant in contrast.
fair comment big man - was actually thinking that as i went to bed last night which surely can't be healthy?i suppose if he was going to go on loan it would need to be to a side where he would start and they would play decent football.where was he rumoured to be going?
I just don't think that's true. He is our back up left back and would have played at Stoke if he was fit.I have heard nothing about him going out on loan yet. If anything Flanno would go out first because we have 2 players in front of him at right back. Plus if there was any question mark about his attitude he would not have just signed a new contract would he ?
i'm not a fan of the spuds or indeed flash arry but they do seem good at loaning out their best reserves to gain experience rather than suffer that gap between 18-21. do they actually have a reserve side now or did they disband it for good?
Looks like we'll be playing winners of group 4 in nextgen series which is most likely to be Spurs.
is it a two leg affair?
NextGenSeries NextGeneration The Quarter Finals will be played over one leg at the Home stadium of the Group Winner. #NextGen
I trust the King, but if we lose a few more on the trot now - he may have to step aside, and we have to purchase another manager in the middle of the season. If we are relegated, this could be the end of our ambitions to win any title the next 100 years.
Nathan Quirk trained with the first team today. A bit surprising as he isn't really one of the standouts for the u18s, he seems to be more of a utility man.
We didn't offer him out though, a club came in for him. Kenny said he should take the opportunity and it would be good for him as did his family, but he didn't want to. Pretty stupid really
Really, if it is spurs away I'll be there for that,anyone know the date
Spearing turned down a loan move to wolves this season. Its good in one way that payers want to stay and fight for their position. Robinson is plenty young if he went and played league one he could get disillusioned when he comes back. Kenny will guide him, plus we don't know robbo side of the story.
It could be in Dubai or Qatar sometime in Jan. Spurs have solaman codabayle who played for Ghana in the u17 world cup Google him if you haven't seen him play he is a goal machine.
He played left of a forward three for England, looks very quick and strong and direct with an awkward running style a bit like Krasic
Saw Ojo play play a game and a half in the victory shield and was very impressed. He played on the left but as far as I know he can play all across midfield. From the games I saw he is an all round Athlete (amazing that he won't turn 15 till next summer) with very good technical ability. Wonder if he'll go into the u16's or u18's? Probably a bit of both like Sterling did when he arrived?

Interesting that it looks like Pelosi is playing left back again, looked mightily impressive going forward but a bit shakey in defence
