England U-19 Discussion Thread #3 (2005 born) [R]

On in the 81st minute. Mourinho's departure having an effect already.

 

Yup. Garner has been with the travelling squad both times since he's left along with Gomes and apparently Ole has told Greenwood to get ready for the FA Cup game with Reading.

This is what United is about for me. Play attacking football and promote youth players. So good now Mourinho is out. We need to get DoF in and get coaches that will play the United way.

 

Hudson-Odoi on for Chelsea.

 

Did nothing much other than pass backwards or lose the ball. Anyone who thinks he's close to Sancho is deluding themselves.

 

I think Sancho will probably be the outstanding English talent of his generation, but Hudson-Odoi is capable of a lot more than he showed today. It's not as if Sancho hasn't had some off days himself.

 

Not the sort of break you need when you eventually seem to get an opportunity! That’s bad luck.

Great performance from the boys, gutted to come off with a hamstring problem but I’ll come back stronger!!⚽️🙏🏾 pic.twitter.com/0PFQo9MUYo

Even though I don’t doubt you as didn’t see the game but I really think he needs a good consistent run of games to get up to speed as playing the odd game here and there surely isn’t helping his cause. He really needs a run of games on a consistent basis to get his confidence up which he won’t get at Chelsea at the moment. Needs to get out on loan in January to a good attacking team that will play him.

 

Hudson Odoi is an elite level talent. I'm sure of that. He needs to leave Chelsea and thankfully he seems to realise that himself.

 

Yeah agreed. Hudson Odoi is a very good talent and although obviously below Sancho then Foden he is still a fantastic player. Sancho is the real star and probably the best teenager in the world, I don’t think anybody said Hudson Odoi is better than him or likely to be, but he could definitely be a top player at a top team IMO.

 

That statement has been officially correct for a week now because Mbappe turned 20 eight days ago.

 

I am aware of that, as I have previously said that Mbappe is the only young player of a similar age better than Sancho (even though he is 2 years older)

 

Don't think he's that far from Sancho in terms of talent. He's quicker albeit not as skillful. Could end up as a striker or a 9,5. He didn't look comfortable wide right but he's gifted.

 

I heard that TOB is desperate to leave Spurs

 

Wouldn't surprise me, he's had set back in both form and status. Albeit after injury issues.
Seems to be behind very mediocre George Marsh now, so he hasn't convinced Pochettino and might very well be out in the cold. Don't think the manager likes laid back characters, Onomah the same.

 

These Hudson-Odoi to Bayern rumours are getting stronger. Would be the best news of this January window if it is true.

 

Yes, I hope it happens to. It will be so so sweet if he does really well and leaves Chelsea red faced at letting yet another one of their academy leave and prosper. I still find it strange that they’re buying Pulisic for 50m when he is hardly the finished product and also has a lower ceiling IMO.

 

Are Bayern Munich particularly good at bringing through youth players themselves?

 

BREAKING: Sky sources: @ChelseaFC reject a second bid of more than £20m from @FCBayern for Callum Hudson-Odoi. Sky sources say Chelsea have told Bayern that they value Hudson-Odoi at closer to £40m. #SSN pic.twitter.com/L9QwnEdNff

40 million is just insane and unfair on the player! Ridiculous.

 

pathetic, what my nickname is doesn’t matter. What is fundamental in the argument is the circumstance of Sané independently dribbling to create chances. In that circumstance he is far superior of Sancho, end of story.

 

Of course it matters. You've literally vested your identity in the merits of one player. You're hardly going to be his most objective critic.

 

Sessegnon not having the best of games today. 1v1 with the keeper and misses the target, then a great cross finds him unmarked and he misses the ball completely. Fulham should be 2-0 up and now they've just conceded.
