I'd heard this Popov was the real deal when he was on trial here and it was baffling how Man Utd didn't manage to get him to stay but what a huge coup for us.

 

I regularly abuse our academy for their inability to recruit well in the 16-19 age group but @Chocolate Teapot was right when he said this summer was different with Popov, Grist, Lindsay and Young. 

 

Hopefully we can nab a few more from good stock.

Grist could be the main one to keep an eye on, given our defensive issues in the first team & the high probability we will need to replace Soyuncu, Fofana & Evans within the next couple years.

Ben Nelson ought to be not far off Championship/Prem level so we hopefully have some real prospects coming through.

I’m a Newcastle loss away from saying chuck them all + Nelson and Penant in the first team

@Ric Flairgenuinely if you could make up a first 11 of our prospects in the u18, u23 and first team what would it look like? Avoiding our shit recent performers like Perez, Soyuncu, Castagne, Kasper (sorry), Wilf (sorry)

Good to see Mcateer make his debut today.

 

Question for people who follow the u23s/u18s..  Who else would you like to see get some minutes this season?

 

 

Nelson, Braybrooke, Madivadua, Maswanhise, maybe even Popov who has been tearing it up for the under 18s

Popov a winger or attacking midfielder? I don’t think I’ve seen him play yet

He's a left footed right winger, which you can imagine how interested I am! He's equally as strong playing in a front two. He's far too good for the U18's from the limited stuff I've seen of him, he's got all the physical qualities to be a beast of a player.

Great to see Popov doing well! Will have to see if I can find some videos of his performances lately. Guessing they might be quite tough to come by...

 

I don't really know anything about McAteer, I presume he's an attacking midfielder? Think I saw him playing pretty well in that U23s defeat to Spurs recently.
