Alfie Devine

Jack Clarke was a 19 year old with a year’s experience in the championship. This is a 15 year old with three appearances in the FA youth cup. File it far away from Jack Clarke.

I have two files. ‘IMPORTANT: First team signings’ and ‘other business’.

Gone to source more ink for his stamp, covid has caused supply issues.

Be interesting to see where all those young players are in ten years time.

Thanks for that, really interesting to see the history on there as well.

Not heard of the 2019 pick Dermi Lusala says a right back, is he likely to come through?

Found this on him, which is quite interesting

Without stereotyping too much, the young Leeds lad looks exactly how one would expect a young Leeds lad to look!

Not surprised that Devine was chosen, usually it's the player that has recently joined or been signed by the club. As it is in a lot of the others.

I'd argue Scarlett or Mathruin, but tbf in this instance Devine had won a POTT award in the only England tournament I'm aware of for that age group and he also stands the best chance of coming through, so in the future it will look good for us bringing through our best player.

As a Leeds resident I totally concur!

According to one Southampton academy insider, Babic would “kick his mother if she was playing”

I can't remember but think we were in for Charlie Allen as well at some point

Based on nothing other than the appearance of his name, is Mathruin British Asian?

Very high hopes for the lad in NI

He's not 'white' and is London born, but beyond that I have no idea if he's of mixed ethnicity. I can see a variety of African and Dravidian traits, and Mathurin is a French name, so I would lean towards South East Indian as that's also where you can find the afro-textured hair too, which I guess is British Asian. Roshaun is an African-American based name though, so a bit of a curve-ball when making a guess.

Hopefully no one is somehow offended by that analysis (you never know) but I find it interesting. India has such a diverse genetic basis beyond what I think people would normally identify.

You can click on links all the way back to 2015 ones to watch. Cameron Carter Vickers! They definitely got Liverpool's correct that year, it was Trent.

I found it interesting. I assumed he was mixed Black (Caribbean as while Roshaun sounds American I've got a family member with a similar name from Caribbean) and South Asian, probably Indian mix.

He could also pass as East African and I believe France have some links over there, or he could be from the French Caribbean, Guadeloupe, St Marton, Martinique etc

Trent would have been their only prospect for that age group, maybe Dhanda so easy pick for them. I'll be honest as good and promising as CCV was, Edwards was light years our most talented player. I assume CCV got the spot as he would've gone to the u20 World Cup that year at 17 and I think made someones TOTT. So If they don't actually watch players and look at what's on paper then I can see why CCV would've made the cut. He was and is a very good CB

 

[BringBack_leGin]

I still don’t get why CCV has never been deemed worthy of a chance with the senior squad.
