Salah is the best player in this team. Has the best game that translate to senior football
Patino has big advantage being English as we want to push as many english players. But look at Bennacer. Salah will make it in big club like him. I dont see any of the others yet except the ones we will promote for having the right passport. Salah is same age as patino and has been out for a year and is technically better player than Patino. has far more impact on our playI don't think Salah is going to make it here longterm. The only ones from this group that have that level potential are Patino, Hutchinson and Monlouis, but you never know. I think Salah is talented, but just don't see any standout qualities from him physically or technically. He fits into the current system Betsy is utilizing and looks very effective, but from what I have seen of him so far he doesn't look more gifted than Matt Smith and Henry Francis.
I was about to make the same comparison re Salah/Bennacer actually. Solid all-round technicians who aren't weak in any area outside of perhaps their physique - and the work Bennacer has done on his has really enhanced his game compared to how he looked in his one game for us. He is someone who could be a sleeper. We have a lot of players like that.Patino has big advantage being English as we want to push as many english players. But look at Bennacer.

I don't think he's better technically than Patino though, that's a stretch. Patino is clearly the technical leader in this team. I think Salah has a lot of natural ability but I've seen in games this season that his decision making can sometimes be a bit off compared to Patino (holding onto the ball for a bit longer than he needs to for example). Patino's intelligent use of the ball outweighs pretty much any of his Hale End peers at this level, even Azeez IMO. There's a reason he's rated higher than everyone else and it's not just because he's English. I just wish people would calm down on the 1st team shouts - he ain't ready for that.

Was injured for a short while. Cowley easing him in at the moment. Wouldn't worry about it.What is whit Azeez? I saw he just had 59min for Portsmouth.
Someone said he is only performing this well because of the system and he won't make it here, now I'm not saying he'll make it but he has to be one of those with a significant chance. The kid is supremely gifted technically. Great balance too its seems natural to him.
Going from strength to strength this season.
MOTM has to finish a Meat sizzler in 10 minutes otherwise they have to make their own way home.What is Papa Johns Trophy?
Getting Nasri vibes from Salah. Similar player, not sure if he is as talented but makes it look easy all the sameSomeone said he is only performing this well because of the system and he won't make it here, now I'm not saying he'll make it but he has to be one of those with a significant chance.

Glad I'm not the only one that's got an eye on James Sweet. All of Ben Cottrell's strengths and none of his weaknesses IMO.I think he is talented, but don't think he has enough. Physically, technically and doesn't really show great vision. I feel the same way about Flores. Seen too many players of that ilk in the last 10 years not make it here. I think only Patino, Hutchinson, James Sweet, Azeez, Monlouis and Zach Awe have legit potential to be great players for the first team in the future. Honorable mentions: Charles Sagoe (my favorite), Duberry and Henry-Francis.

Really like the look of him. Very technical, good vision, physically developed, agile and has a great motor. I believe he has been playing as a wingback for the U18 and has looked very good. Really paid attention to him in that game that was on Twitch, he was the most impressive by far. Flores to me looks like another ball hog. Doing too much, he is talented, but his lack of size and explosiveness is going to hurt him at the next level.
Crowley looked sensational at youth level but had a really **** attitude by all accounts.Dan Crowley vibes from Flores.
