Young players to watch

Recommended Posts

I'm starting this thread purely to share my own musings on future players. Some facts may be out of date. I keep tabs based on comments (here and elsewhere) and news. All are 22 and under (except goalies) and not already featuring. The reason for posting now is that this is an exciting time. We've got the strongest squad for a long time and a few of these could make us even better.

Mccarron Leeds Winger, training with the first team. 

Flynn Clarke Peterborough got a few games this season. 

Fulham lads Mcavoy and Bowat.

Brentford lads Pressley and Gordon. 

Brighton Leonard and Weir. 

Josh Reid likely to sign for Coventry from Ross County. 

Dickson at Rangers impressed me on his debut. 

Just a few extra that may make breakthroughs.

Theres certainly plenty of promising talent at the moment.

Theres a few other young keepers;

Brian Kinnear & Kieran Wright at Rangers.

Dundee United have Lewis Neilson & Logan Chalmers also.

Has Leon King gone on loan to Dunfermline?

Another one I forgot was the other Norwich keeper Mccracken just signed a new deal. And seen McLear made his debut. 

Stoke keeper Hemfrey. 

What about the Spanish Scottish striker I want to say Urwain Atheletico Bilbao I think. 

 

Ewan Urain. 6’4 target man striker. Be nice if he doesn’t end up a Jack Harper

Jeremiah Chiloka-Mullen (16) Leeds United CB

Lewis Neilson (17) Dundee United CB/MF

Ibane Bowat (18) Fulham CB

Connor McAvoy (18) Fulham CB

Matthew Craig (17) Tottenham Hotspur CDM

Jayden Fairley (17) Hibs (on loan to Stenhousemuir) CM

Thomas Dickson-Peters (18) Norwich City ST

Chris Mochrie (17) Dundee United ST/AM

Kevin Hanratty (17) Aberdeen ST

Jack Stretton (19) Derby County ST

(Jack Stretton has scored 38 goals in 47 matches at u18/23 level. If he can make the step up, he'll be lethal. He's been promoted to the first team.)

I think we can forget about Weir, unfortunately.

How many times over the years have I seen threads like this? Nevertheless, quite a few names with big clubs so hopefully at least 20% make the grade ( for international level) . Only time will tell.

 

You're right. We are always looking into the future hoping and a tiny fraction ever really make it. That said, the difference is that the current squad level is ok and if any of these are better than what we already have it will drive up our standards.

Thanks for all the responses. It wasn't an exhaustive list, just those that intrigued me when I read about them.

I hope Norwich don't release him 😁

Nice.

Wonder how many people get that.

Who was the kid who played for Hearts? Scored a cracking goal against Celtic in the 4-0 match in his first season, Midfielder?? What happened to him, don't see him on this list?

Harry Cochrane. Still with Hearts, but he's on loan to Montrose. Still only 19.

Another Hearts kid, Anthony McDonald, moved to Spanish club Cordoba three months ago. Also 19 years old.

Did any one mention  Ross County left-back Josh Reid.

Syecosse did. Not sure if it's totally agreed but joining Coventry. I think Ross were hoping to keep him on loan but Cov have just lost a player and want him straight away. Stands a good chance of getting games.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Josh Doig (18) at hibs. He looks a fantastic young attacking LB (I know another bloody one) with tons of potential.

James Maxwell (just turned 19) he's on loan at QoS from Rangers and has been having a good season. He is very technically gifted and a PREM loan next season could be fantastic for his development. Sadly for Scotland he is another LB.

Ben Nelson (16) is a CB and is a regular in the Leicester u23 squad. He also made the bench for the full team in one of their European games. One to keep an eye on.
