Conor Bradley, Liverpool and Northern Ireland. This lad can make a name for himself, shame it’s at Liverpool
 
That Oscar Bobb kid at City looks pretty good.
 
Van de Ven is on his way to being one of the best CBs in the world and the only question is whether his hamstrings hold up. Spurs' best player by a mile.

This as well. The kid’s a fecking great player, and is a United fan. His dad’s a season ticket holder. If we hadn’t been underfunded, neglected, and ruined by the Glazers, he’d have joined us instead of City.

Wow, didn’t know this. Shocking how we’ve been allowed to become the second choice for young talented kids in the city.
 
Odegard Saka Timber vd Ven McAlister Son Palmer and some of the obvious City guys..

Not just in your City. The Elite Development Squad they built lured Micheal Olise from Cobham. It was/is an excellent program regardless of how you view the team. The young players coming out: Palmer, Foden, Rico Lewis, Lavia, Bobb…. Just to name a few …. They are graduating with such a high quality and maturity to their game.

Poaching a lot of their people for revamping our own youth setup made me happy.

Mainoo, that’s the easy answer, but he’s tremendous

Should have played more for England, but big names need to be forced in.

To be fair, he plays in the position of the only one of the established English front three that was effective at some level (Saka).

Gordon should really feel hard done by
 
Beyond some obvious big names I really wanted us to sign Gusto last season and his progression been no surprise. The other one was Livaramento who I rate but thought he was "decent"...tho he was playing out of position at left back a lot.

Beyond that I think Chelsea have a few but nobody is talking about Spurs this transfer market who are still maybe lacking in options up front, but I think they have three really good youngsters added to there squad.

Must confess never heard of Lucas Bergvall andhey its only pre-season which can be deceiving but he looks a real quality player in the mould of DeJong as well as Archcie Gray....those two could r eally add to Spurs building the ball out from the back.

Also Mickey Moore coming up from there youth who can play either flank or up front....think he may turn into a striker as from admittedly very little seen of him, his finishing looks incredible.

Think if they add a striker and/or a quality winger they could be a big threat for 3rd this season if hit the ground running and luck with injuries

Shame it's not for the Republic of Ireland, also (for ROI fans, obviously!).

Bradley has supported RoI all his life, as did all of his family. Needless to say, the FAI utterly neglected him, allowing the IFA to swoop in and confuse us all with yet another acronym.

Poor lad. Just did not stand a chance.
 
Funny how Palmer doesn’t seem like a kid or Elliot
So Strictly under 20s:
Mainoo yes
Garnacho yes
Ferguson- iffy
 
Rico Lewis, Ethan Nwaneri, Stefan Bajcetic. All of them elite level talents IMO.

Forgot Mikey Moore, Lucas Bergvall, and Archie Gray at Spurs. They're somewhat going under the radar but they've assembled a very, very promising group of teenagers and early 20s players in their squad now. Should be real title contenders in the 2nd half of this decade, probably even CL contenders if they don't mess up the project. Vicario, van de Ven, Dragusin, Gray, Moore, Bergvall, Vuskovic, Sarr, Udogie, Kulusevski, Porro. Romero and Maddison are still just entering their primes as well. Like I said I don't think people realize how talented their young group of players are but they've quietly been building something special.

Not gonna mention the early 20s, already established stars like Palmer, Saka, and many others, everyone should rate those guys. They're some of the best players in the world in their respective positions.

I am a sucker for an all action, covering every blade of grass, box to box CM, and Spurs have an amazing one in Pape Matar Sarr. He is about a month shy of his 22nd birthday too, so he could be a menace for a long time.

And to think they have a FDJ clone in Lucas Bergvall as well. I am jealous.

Is this the GD deer they have at right back, bombing up and down like a maniac? The kid's engine is insane! Sucks about his choice of club though.
 
Rate[d] Saka a lot more highly than most neutrals/rival fans. Rate[d] Foden a lot less.
 
Moore and Byfield spurs
Nyoni Liverpool
Noble and Parker city
Nwaneri Arsenal
George and Mhueka
