    There was some speculation of Gomes being loaned to Sporting as part of the deal - he has a Portuguese passport and is even eligible to play for their national team. However, suspect he has his next move lined up elsewhere already - so unlikely to agree to a brief loan.

    You don’t let go of guys like Chong and Gomes unless you can say you’ve done everything you can in terms of giving them chances or opportunities to develop them properly. We’ve failed in both cases: even if they weren't ready for the first team, we should have been patient and sent them on loan from the start of the season. And I bet we'll live to regret it on some level at some point, for one or possibly even both of them.

    Ole to promote some youth players to the first team.

    Laird and even Ramazini make sense. The surprise would be Mejbri for sure: his talent is not the concern obviously, but whether he would be ready physically for the challenge. Would be interesting to see what he could do however, if given an opportunity.
    With players having come back recently from injury, it still would be something of a surprise though. I guess we'll see. The upcoming FA Cup tie vs the Watford vs Tranmere might be what Ole is looking to give him a shot at making the squad.
    Ole having to dig deep into the youth ranks for bodies does speak volume about the current state of the first team squad also.

    Mengi is still just a kid obviously, at still just 17, but he really is an exciting prospect for us. Really curious to see how he progresses in the next 3-4yrs.
    Been superb so far in the U18s Youth Cup game vs Norwich.
    Still 0-0 at HT but both teams have had their chances (Hoogewerf really should have scored twice).

    United end up winning this game 2-0 and move on. Mengi who scored the 2nd goal and Mejbri, playing at the 10 spot were the clear standouts today.

    A CB who can score from corners. How about it Big Mag?

    Big win for the U18s today in the Youth FA Cup vs Leeds. Hoogewerf scored with winner. Mengi with another big defensive display: loving this guy more and more and should he manages to keep this up, he'll be another big time talent. Mejbri was good as well, even more so as he was being systematically targeted for rough treatment from Leeds.
    Well done on their part and onto the next round.

    Hoogewerf's game winner.

    Can't disagree with any of this to be frank. We've got a few potential gems at youth level right now and he's definitely not far from the top of the list, as far as I'm concerned. Just fun watching him play overall but love those awesome runs from the back with the ball, full of pace, power and more importantly control: the guy almost looks like a midfielder. The fact that he's already managed to cement his place as first choice CB for the U23s at just seventeen is pretty remarkable as well.
    Kind of the perfect mix between Tuanzebe and Williams at the same age. Question is whether he can follow the path of the former to the first team eventually?

    Our handling of Gomes, from the outside looking in at least, has been such a mess. Didn't let him go on loan prior to the start of the season, yet barely played him when there were more than enough opportunities to do so.
    And the club have done it again this past month. Even if he hasn't signed a new contract, can't see the harm of letting him go on loan to another club, especially if there are no real plans to play him in the first team the rest of the way.
    Provided the report above is true, this whole thing is really disappointing and the club best have learned their lesson with the next group of guys coming up, starting with Levitt and Garner...

    The club still in negotiations with both Gomes and Chong according to Ole.

    Ole is just blowing cotton candy up your ass. The unicorns and rainbows he spews are becoming ludicrous.

    Another contract situation for a youth player that we need to keep an eye is the one in regards to Ramazani. His current contract expires at the end of the season also and he still hasn't signed a new deal yet. Which has seen him left out of the U23 team this calendar year so far.
    Didn't play in yesterday's 0-2 win vs from the youth team in. Brugge. Belgian press is not reporting anything about any interest from other clubs, but he definitely will be getting offers if he does not re sign with United.
    Aside from the fact that it would not be a good look to lose him (when we already have 2 significant youngsters who appear on their way out), he is a young talent who could have a future and one we need to keep and nurture a while longer.
    Don't imagine it's time to worry yet, as is the case with Chong and Gomes, but at the same time the sooner this is done, the better.

    Great news: need to find a way to integrate him into the first team soon. Another prime target to go on loan next season, in my estimation.
    Gk Paul Woolston has signed a new contract as well.

    A loan to a Dutch lower table team may be too much for him, but I think he needs 2 loans anyway. Maybe Championship and then lower table team somewhere abroad. He needs the 2 loans for development, but also for us to determine the future of Dalot.

    Well done from the U18s to advance in the Youth Cup by defeating a tough Wigan team today 2-1 (goals from Shoretire and Sotona)
    Up next it's Chelsea in the semi final.
