Will he need a ESC spot?!

Could not tell you. He's 16 so maybe not.

Maybe Pasha just advises/dictates which ones "are ready", seeing as he is "responsible for the academy"

 

 

So Pasha is responsible for employing people, who he states, could not recognise that as a youth Adam Wharton was a talent !

I googled his name, and I couldn't find a 16 year old footballer...but I did find what seems to be a 16 year old basketballer...hope we're not just swapping looking for pace with looking for height!

Looks like the same kid probably as they have the same birthday. Now that I think about it, I think it's Turkey where they sometimes have clubs that do both basketball and football for some reason.

Yep a lot of those clubs have multiple sporting disciplines, as do Barcelona.

Seems like a very difficult game given their signings and start to their season - and Rovers relative weakness. Last season we added a few new faces (albeit, they turned out to have very disappointing seasons and Mafoumbi was cut eventually). This season, no new additions, save for possible U18 graduates.

I suppose Rovers are fortunate that they're in this PL2 Super League, with no relegation or promotion.

Edit: That said, there's some promise in the Rovers squad - the major weakness lies in the depth and in the forward areas, with too much expected too soon of Tyjon.

Michalski - any chance he could play? He needs game time one way or another.

I don't think he will given we have a senior game tomorrow. The under 21 game against Everton on Monday would have been ideal for him to play in but Goddard was picked instead. I think Barrett will play tonight as Goddard has been the third choice in first team games so far.

It will be interesting to see what happens when/if Pears is available.
