    Harry Kane

    So proud of Harry, what an amazing achievement. Would love him to get that trophy with us but a genuine club legend regardless. Should I go for a cheeky trumpet blow. Oh go on...

    Cameron Carter-Vickers

    So pleased for CCV that he's settled and getting a chance to shine at a top club with some football. Still think he'll end up in the PL at some point. Definitely think he was underrated and was poorly handled here. Hopefully he does enough to work himself back into the USMNT so we can see him...

    That's crazy. There have been some strange cases of players getting called up for England and then not even making our academy. Can think of Blake D'Arcy for one but when I saw Watt play he genuinely looked like a good player, like you could see why he was called up. Strange but shows rhe ups...

    Onomah came on against Barcelona in NextGen when he was 15 whixh was an u19 tournament He most likely played for u21s that season bit I think he had turned 16 by the time that happened. That's off the top of my head. I'm also fairly sure Veljkovic featured in a preseason game as a 15yo. Glad...

    CCV was playing for USMNT at the same age though a bit older than Paskotsi and I'd argue they were probably a bigger footballing nation. Plus CCV was in an unofficial TOTT for the u20 World Cup at 17 and had arguably put in more consistent performances for our u23s and there was less of a...

    Na. We picked him up from QPR a few years back which is probably what the guys thinking of. He would've been like 6 or 7 so in that context it's almost as if he's been here all along. There's not been focus on a child like this so we would not have known of a signing at 6/7 usually

    In terms of feeling a desire to play for them? Ye that could also be a reason. But I think the appeal is a bigger thing. Look at KWP and Demarai Gray compared to Aina and Iwobi for example. Similar level of players, but Aina and Iwobi went straight to Nigeria, because why wait around with so...

    By born I assume you mean lived in the area when they were born and not actual hospital. The only one I can think of is Whiteman and I can't even remember if he's actually featured for us

    I've noticed that too. I wonder why. Maybe numbers related? I think there is still more immigration from African countries than West Indian could be a reason. Culturally, I imagine they like football as much, and while West Indian interest is split with cricket, that hasn't translated to 1st...

    Depends what you mean by produce? If you're talking about the ability we certainly have, if you're talking about who eventually comes through and gets chances, then ye it becomes more difficult. Assuming we include mixed race as they're poltically black, the white/black combo obviously then we...

    I'm sure Mcknight has played quite a bit at LB. Walters used to play RB if I remember correctly and sometimes Watt and so Mcknight would go LB. Think he's played both

    Definitely think he had a place on our RW or CAM but as you say spilt milk. Would be good for us and England if he manages to kick on, and show that you can turn your negative press around. Supporters are 100% impatient but I do think clubs have double standards and expectations of academy...

    That's fair and I obviously disagree and have a different stance to you. I commented plenty of times during games that he was working hard and tracking back and that him looking lazy I felt was an exaggeration. Sure there were times where you might want him to do more, but he was still the...

    Ye he was an excellent player. Leaves Vitoria with 36 g/a after 96 games. If he can get into Sporting side you'd think those numbers would increase. Always could he was composed and could finish but wa shocked he scored more than assisted but I assume its due to Vitorias strikers not putting...
