Development/Youth Squads 2023/2024 Thread - U18/U21

[AjcW]

So we're potentially going to have two crushing disappointments when it comes to managerial appointments this summer  

 

I'd imagine they will go with someone internal to replace Petty if he goes, hopefully we have someone stand out ready to take over. I wonder if we can weave Kingy into the set up somehow while he completes his badges? Would love that

Leicester City making Silko Thomas transfer decision – sources

Leicester City gem Silko Thomas is attracting loan interest from multiple Championship and League One clubs, sources have told Football Insider.

Thomas, 19, is highly regarded at the King Power after impressing in the Premier League 2, where he scored five goals and provided four assists in 16 games for the under-21s.

The winger was named on the Leicester bench in FA Cup clashes against Birmingham and Bournemouth last season, but is yet to make his senior debut.

Interested clubs are now waiting for Leicester to decide whether to loan Thomas out, or whether he will be kept around the squad for the upcoming Premier League season.

Leicester City gem Silko Thomas wanted by Championship clubs
Thomas joined Leicester from Chelsea’s academy in September 2023 and has impressed the coaching staff at the King Power.

Having represented England at youth level, both for the under-15s and under-18s, the opportunity to move on loan would allow him a chance to make his name.

Thomas featured for Leicester’s under-21 side in the EFL Trophy last season as they took on Fleetwood, Wigan and Tranmere, scoring the winner in a 1-0 win against Tranmere in his first experience against senior teams.

With first-team opportunities hard to come by, clubs across the EFL are exploring the possibility of taking him on a season-long loan, should Leicester make him available.

The winger is represented by CAA Base, who also boast the likes of Jarell Quansah, Ebere Eze and Trevoh Calobah on their books – all of whom went on loan before breaking through at their respective clubs.

Good, lets get a few out on loan this year. Wanya, Thomas, Alves, Braybrooke, and Nelson are more then ready for first team football at atleast League one level

[lcfc sheff]

I’ve liked what I’ve seen of Silko Thomas.

I’m expecting oxford to come knocking on our door for some loans. 

 

It would be good if we could send them a couple of players. 

[Ryy]

Maswanhise, Appiah, Flynn, Hughes, Doherty and Jack Lewis have been released.

 

Chris Popov, Amani Richards, and Kian Pennant have been offered new deals

Surprised about Maswanhise, thought he was a good prospect coming through.

Became very stagnant due to no loan. Will probably sign for Stockport in League One

He was but our classically crap development planning has completely stifled him.

Should definitely been sent out on loan. We seem to struggle to get alot of these young uns out. I wonder why?

[lanefox]

We've let Maswanhise down by not getting him a loan over the past year/18months

[coolhandfox]

Someone has to want him on loan, can't force someone to take him. 

 

The player also has to want to go to the club that wants him.

Not saying he would’ve made it here but Maswanhise should’ve been loaned out. (Realise I don’t know what goes on behind the scenes)

Great to see our boys doing well on international scene

Great to see will shining again. Really excited for our next crop

He's one of the players I was told was released a while ago. Hope not as he seemed to be highly rated but he's not moved up to the U21s for whatever reason this season.

Rodgers and Maresca were both willing to give Alves a go in our first team. In Rodgers case that was at Premier League level.

It's going to be so short sighted to send these lads out to League One. Especially given our financial woes. Giggs was thrown in at 17 and thrived. Why not Alves or the others?
