He was too good for U21 football when we signed him 3 years ago. Had already made 26 L1 appearances by that point.3-4

Too good for u21 football
Needs a short term loan to Jan 1st in my expert opinion and we can see how he deals week in, week out in men's footy.He was too good for U21 football when we signed him 3 years ago. Had already made 26 L1 appearances by that point.
And he's nearer 24 now than 23 so you would expect him to shine at U21 level, and he's played in a F.A. cup semi final against Man utd, so has way too much experience for that level.He was too good for U21 football when we signed him 3 years ago. Had already made 26 L1 appearances by that point.
I hate how crap the clubs coverage of the U18s is. 10 years ago we used to get full highlight videos on YouTube, now there’s nothing.Saturday 24th August 2024
Academy U18s
Coventry City 3 v 2 Cardiff City
Yeah it is pathetic. They've even set up an academy twitter account and just post the final score of every game. As you say it's actually gone backwardsI hate how crap the clubs coverage of the U18s is. 10 years ago we used to get full highlight videos on YouTube, now there’s nothing.
Still just the one though hey!Matty Godden came off the bench and scored for Charlton on Saturday.
Chelsea are set to make a move for Coventry City midfielder Jack James.
The 17-year-old is a highly-rated prospect and Chelsea scouts have been keeping a close eye on his progress.
Brentford and Crystal Palace approached James last year before he decided to continue on at boyhood club Coventry.
But Chelsea’s interest presents a huge opportunity for the teenager and Blues chiefs have indicated their willingness to do a deal over the coming days.

He’s had a significant growth spurt over the past 12 months, with another one due.Worked with this kid.
I know a few clubs including Arsenal who aren't mentioned above have been looking - has been on the fringes of the England set up too.
Haven't seen him for a year or so, but was quite small - very Maddison- esque in stature/style too.
Good lad and good family behind him too.
Very interesting this as as stated he chose to develop under staff he knew and trusted.
I saw a couple of his old clips where he looks 5ft nothing and still running by people. Very impressive mate.He’s had a significant growth spurt over the past 12 months, with another one due.
He will get bigger and stronger, just like Jamie Allen and MessiHe played in the Leamington pre season game and I commented to say you can tell he's got great technique, vision and awareness. But there was a distinct lack of physical ability there too. Not the be all and end all of course, but he has to be exceptional to succeed at the top level without it.
Love that.@slowpoke grandson, my nephew.
Good to hear.He’s had a significant growth spurt over the past 12 months, with another one due.
Yeah. When the likes of Tavares and bassette play, they score for fun. When they don't they lose badly.Our u21s don’t win a lot do they? Seem to pick up a win when there’s a few first teamers in but apart from that not much at all. Unless I have missed it, I am not sure who is in charge after all the recent promotions to the first team.
It goes to show we need to invest in the infrastructure required to upgrade the academy to Cat 1 (or A whichever it is). Having promising talent snapped up for peanuts is a bit depressing.I feel like there's usually a bit of a buzz around a lad coming through the academy, but I'm not getting that feeling at the min. Suppose it doesn't help when the big PL team are snapping up 15 year olds, but still.
Don't think he was in the U21s, mostly U18s.Did Jack James go to Chelsea in the end? I can’t recall him featuring for Under 21s? News on Isaac Moore?
