Would anyone be able to give any info on the new younger squad players taken to the US.
Age, position and potential.

The Three I believe could possibly bridge the gap to the senior side 70, just my opinion, you understand.

Lineou - LB: took him from Citeh, finished the season very strongly. If he maintained the same level of development, I could see him added to the squad, especially if they wished to direct funds elsewhere. He's an excellent and exciting prospect, though more a Jed Spence type of defender, quick and skilful.

Alfie Cresswell - CM/DM. I believe he is the best youth prospect currently, captain and plays like his elder brother (Baz's love child) .

Very strong in the tackle, good in the air and scores the odd goal. Not creativity though in the Amps, Gruev mould.

Rory Malhaddy - GK: pinched from Celtic, highly rated particularly in Scotland, but their bar for national keepers is lower than ours. He has developed well and, again, has the potential to be a squad keeper. Whether he's a first choice, it's too early to say at this stage.

Don't see any world beaters or that creative number 10 we crave, and you'll appreciate bridging the gap to an EPL team is a stratospheric leap from a Championship side.

Thank you. If those 3 can make the jump, we probably only need to spend out on another 4/5 players.
G K Trafford ?
C Half
Brandt
Number 10 and
Striker.

Watch out for Coban Bird, 19-year-old LB.
I saw him play a couple of years back, and he was unbelievable.

Whilst other positions would be a bonus, I think we need to concentrate on 3 positions:
GK - Trafford?
AM/10 - Brandt?
Striker - ???

Add a backup GK and LWB, and we're nearly good to go.
