Tremendous news … for us and hopefully him.
On paper we have the opportunity to have the finest crop of youth team graduates in our history.
- Beadle
- Eleware
- Henry
- Anderson
- Kanu
- Burstow
if we can get them all tied down it could be the start of an exciting era for the club. No pressure JJ ☺️

So how do you pronounce his surname?
Im saying Ell er u, is that right?0 -
Good news. Pleased for TS as well. Had a few bumps in the road over the last few months. This signing shows good intent re: making sure we don’t lose out financially if Eleware goes on to be worth a few quid1

Excellent news. Deji looks very promising.0

We've had really good crops in the past too. I remember the early 90s when the likes of Rufus and Newton went on to play 100s of first team games, and others made the first team. Or the late 90s where we produced Parker, Konchesky and Fortune, who all played in the PL, 2 of which playing for England3 - Sponsored links:

Is he also likely to progress to the first team?0 -
just hope they concentrate on making Beadle a serious offer now - guess there must be a lot of negotaition that goes on and the first offers won't be the final offer1

I will of course bow to anyone with superior knowledge as that is third hand at best.1 -
Great news, class act, England's centre half in 5 or 6 years time, sadly wont be with us then. lets get proper money for him when he goes.0

I wouldn't be comfortable with 2 inexperienced centrebacks in the same team. Famwo is ahead of him at the moment, but even he sometimes shows niavety in some of his decisions. Youngsters need to be surrounded by experienced players to talk them through the game. Happy with him to be on the bench, with cameo appearances, but can see him being sent out on a short term loan before staking a regular place in our team.
I think JJ prefers to play Matthews/Gunter in the back 3, as it gives him the option to switch to a back 4 without making any subs

It's also better cover for the RB area with the more attacking wing back on that side.

Last night was a bit of a reality check, with Deji having a bit of a mare. All young players will have bad games of course, but it's a reminder that he's a kid, and it's unrealistic to expect him to go straight into the first team and play 25 games this season.
Brownie was interesting when he was talking about Deji's weakness in heading, how he sometimes misjudges the flight of the ball. Something he can sort in training of course, but in L1 you need your CBs to cope with the high crosses and punts up field4 -
Good learning curves. He is pretty new to men's football.1

Souare should have been that more senior pro, but he's not a natural in that position either, he'd much rather be galloping down the wing where Clayden was playing.1 -
