.....players come out and say it over and over, they like to pick up trophies!!!

They are not going to say, at the end of their career, "... do you remember the night we sat on the bench against Randers and got 10 minutes"!!!

They have started a trip together, it is about seeing it though. If you ask any of them, right now, I would be surprised if  1 (one) of them would say I want to miss the cup game.

Depends if they were guaranteed to play or not. They'd all rather play the 5th round of the Youth Cup than sit on the bench and not get on bit if they were offered the chance to start for the first team or at least come on vs playing in the Youth Cup then they'd take the former 100%

they may be eligible but they don't play meaning we aren't weakening the side by taking them with the first team are we? Also how fair is it to parachute Braybrooke in now to the lads that got them this far? The club have already promoted them past that level. People are making far too big of a deal over the F.A. youth cup, its really not that important its a nice bonus nothing more.

 

The job of the academy is to produce players for the first team or to sell, that's it

The FA Youth Cup is deemed as the most prestigious youth comp in this country domestically. As others have said, Braybrooke Alves and Nelson have played all through the rounds. The side you'll see midweek in the youth cup is not the same side you'd see on a Saturday morning, all clubs take it very seriously and I'd imagine United will have some dropping down from their 23's to play with the 18s too. It's not uncommon.

 

Besides, a few of the names from the last time we got to an FA Youth Cup semi-final didn't go on to do too badly:thumbup:

I keep reading that Alves has already turned 17 and various websites suggest he has but then a few others say its May which would explain why he hasn't yet signed his 1st pro contract yet. Anyone know him confirm? 😂😂😂

It is annoying that there are places with 2 different birthdays for him lol

 

I would hope that because he hasn't signed a pro deal yet that it means it is the one in May...

@An Away Move knows him I think. Any ideas if he has turned 17 yet or if it is indeed May?

15 deals!!! Wow, great work!!! Shame Alves wasn’t one of them but most of our big prospects are on that list!! 

From the ages of some of the lads I expect a few of these were sealed some time ago and only announced now, but still great work :-)
