Steve Kean rated Robbie Cotton very highly and after signing his first professional contact yesterday he could soon be pushing for inclusion in first team squad soon:

Cotton Signs Contract and Kean Predicts Bright Future

I personally think James Knowles is the better player but good luck to them both!

Never seen Cotton but Knowles was the worst player on the pitch the one time I saw him at Morecambe. Must have just been a bad day

You must have seen Cotton then he came on for the last 10 - 15 minutes and kept the ball well and kept it nice and simple

[LeftWinger]

The England youth international has even been likened to Steven Gerrard

I'm just hoping it's not Kean who's drawn this comparison - Formica/Batistuta, Anderson/Smalling, Ribeiro/Irwin etc.

I don't remember that I remember Henley impressing me the most on the day though out of the young lads

Dont forget Goodwillie and Rooney. Can't wait until they all click! We'll have a world class team.

With the experience of Riberio the new Denny Irwin, hope the rest of league is ready.

Good to see more youngsters coming through the Academy

He was involved on Tuesday night against Orient - although he wasnt named as a sub he was out there pre-game & took part in the kick about at half time. Not sure if he was on standby to be in the match squad or there for the experience - either way, good decision.

I would like to get excited about this lad, but I've only heard bad things about his attitude from people at Brockhall.

If it's true, it will need addressing or he'll never reach whatever his potential is.

Bit irellevent though, no matter if he was Messi we did the right thing.
