I wonder what the kid really thinks about this ?

He can’t have been thinking about being employed by Lcfc a week ago.  You’d assume he was happy at the academy where he’d been since he was a young kid.  And moving from London to the midlands at such a young age may not be without its complications.  you’d assume he’s now on a bigger deal than he was at Chelsea. -  what’s he going to be doing in a ‘strange place’  during his afternoons where he knows no one with a few quid brig a hole in his pockets ?  You’d hope that the club would be on this big time. 

Possibly has a few pals already here, he's played with Silko Thomas before and possibly been in England youth squads with the likes of Alves and Briggs.

Maybe, Cooper admires, youth players if he is good enough he will get a chance. 

When Cooper was at Forest, he paid a lot of money for Morgan Gibbs-White who many didn’t rate; subsequently he really improved under Coops.

£5-10m should be the price range of nearly all our signings this summer.

 

Welcome aboard.

Our just the right player at the right price.

Are we finally getting in on the PSR player laundering scene?

Excellent. All we need now is a dodgy sponsor and selling the training ground to 'another company' and we're sorted

He is a year younger, I thought they may have been in some of the same England squads but don't think they have.

I think he’ll need to spend some time in the gym before he can begin to hold his own at the highest level

In the old days that's precisely the reason why players would live in 'digs' , often in Aylestone, with some kinda mother hen landlady to look after them.

Two or three of Nelson, Alves,Braybooke and Golding need to go on loan..  One or two could be developed.  Nelson   is most ready

[HarryDee8]

He looks like he's 12 years old

If he blocks Alves or Braybrooke’s pathway it’s silly. 
 

I wish I could be excited, feel flat as anything with KDH going 

Should have no effect, Alves I believe will play as a left winger in men’s football and Braybrooke is a deep lying playmaker, where as Golding is a no.10/8

Even better, very good deal that

Pretty sure the club publicly stated in the past they won’t involve clauses like these after the Kante transfer.

He did have him in his under 17 World Cup winning squad, just like how he went in for Hudson Odoi

I’ve said before that I’d be more than happy for us to have a strong ish 11 and the squad players be kids. If that’s what we are going for then I’m backing it 100%.

I think it’s logically the best option due to our circumstances. It means we have a decent team when all fit, and when not, we are blooding young talent. Know nothing about this kid but would put good money on him not being terrible.

[sylofox]

Apparently he can play in 57 positions.

Good job his middle name isn't karma sutra . . . .

I think that's an advantage. We all remember the kid at school who at 13 was built like a 25 year old and, wonder of wonders, became the best player -  until everyone else grew up too

 

If a player can hack it witout having any physicality, it's a good sign.

When a young player is touted as being great and they have a slight build, it's much more promising than when a player in the same age range is touted but is built like an early 20's.

 

Casadei was touted as brilliant, but that'll have been increased by how much bigger he is than those in the same age range

England youth ace Golding, aged 18, has been on Chelsea's books for six years and made his senior debut in the FA Cup in January. He was only on the pitch for nine minutes but came close to scoring and setting up a goal.

He has captained England and Chelsea at junior level and he was described by the Evening Standard earlier this year as "an attacking midfielder who possesses good leadership skills" while his pen pic for England's under-17s Euros squad last winter said: "One of three brothers in professional clubs’ set-ups, Golding is another who can play in multiple positions and has been very consistent this season."

Happy with this, smart signing for us I think.

Middle name

Hope he's happy that he's signed for Leicester and not peed off that Chelsea don't want him
