The Current u16s seem not have as many standout talents just like it happened with the 02 group after the multitude of talents in the 01 group. Sydie Peck and Bradley Ibrahim probably the best but haven't played for u18s and they've already turned 16. I think Jimi Gower is another one but he might be in the group below .The group below has many interesting talents who I'll probably name check next season . Luis Brown, Ismael Kabia, Stanley Skipper (Lampard's nephew) . Notable to note that 6 players have been called up to the national U15s (06 born) recently more than any other club .

I refuse to pay attention to players who were being born when Casino Royale was still in cinemas.

Poor goalkeeping but it's a nice little ball behind the LB & CB by Norton-Cuffy. Still waiting to see his goal.


Such an accomplished finish from Taylor-Hart there. Some player. Nice little ball between two opponents from Azeez to Cirjan. Really opened up the space.

I’d keep him at the club, with or without European football. Think he’s the type of player who’ll benefit from training with the first team rather than playing in league 1. 5th choice and reevaluate in January.

Agreed entirely. Notwithstanding how impressive Azeez has been in the Academy, he strikes me as the type who will look better with better quality around him. His speed of thought and execution will stand out when he has others on the same level in that regard.

Also an equally impressive goal by Taylor-Hart. Azeez's reverse pass to break the lines in the build-up eerily similar to Partey's pass in build-up to Auba's goal way to Burnley recently.

Hope Taylor-Hart signs soon. The thing I like about him is you just know what he is. No questions about what type of player you're getting. He is not a CM, CAM, CF or Wingback. He is an out and out winger. Direct, tricky, can cut in and shoot with power or finesse. Lanky, quick and is comfortable with both feet.

That's the Tommy P pass

Taylor-Hart is a weird one, has he ever been involved with England?
Yes at u16 level and then he got a long term injury which derailed his progress. I predict he'll have a Harvey Barnes/lingard kind of rise. They got championship loans aged 20 and just tore it up. The moment he gets back to his best I just feel he'll rise very rapidly. Hopefully it's other wise.

That injury really interrupted his progress heavily and it affected our season a little bit at that level too. If we had still had Taylor-Hart available at that time, we'd have fared a lot better. As it is, he's seemingly making up for lost time. Let's just hope he signs the deal!

Norton-Cuffy is such an elite name, straight from a PG Wodehouse novel. Any chance of him making it here?
Yes. He's the nominal RB of his age group in the England international group, and has already signed pro. There are 3 RBs with decent potential coming through and he's one of them - arguably the best prospect. For me, it's between him and Dan Oyegoke (who seems to be playing CB a lot lately).

It could be argued that the depth at right back is probably the strongest out of all the positions at the academy. Norton Cuffy established himself in the u23s at 16 and I remember reading an interview with an academy player ( can't remember who) who said out of everyone, Oyegoke was the most likely to make it in the first team. I'm assuming the third man your talking about is Alebiosu but could easily be talking about Swanson and Osei Tutu as well if they hadn't suffered Injuries.
