Jack Hinshelwood should be higher but that a good thing hopefully he continues to go under the radar.

I've just noticed that Ibrahim Osman and Valentin Barco also make the top 100.

I think we have more players than any other club, but I don't want to try and unpick all loan signings to be sure!

The article says we have the most at 6, Ferguson, Baleba, Minteh, Hinselwood, Enciso, Gruda, ahead of Chelsea, Paris St-Germain and Barcelona (4) and that's without Buonanotte, Barco and Osman 😲

Won't win anything with kids :wink:

Another in there that we supposedly bid for but we're beaten to the punch. A bloody centre back too, just what we're missing:

If I could have one football related wish, I honestly think it would be that Evan could find some kind of form. Hopefully the goal against Liverpool can give him some confidence.

But what a list that is.

Surprisingly there are no Chelsea players in top 20
Well there wont be. They wait until a player is 21+ and buy him for £100million or more.

Have to say my worry is that if a kid sees he is worth that sort of money his agent might start putting his name around for a quick profit.

Did I miss something? Pretty sure he didn't score!

Luckily for us, I think we're in that zone now of not needing to sell and only selling for silly money. I love Ferguson and Buonanotte, and see huge potential in Minteh, Enciso and Gruda, but if someone comes in for insane money (and for those is would take insane money) I could be ok with it. I categorically do not want to sell any of them, but if we had to... fine.

The ones I really want to hold on to are Baleba and Hinshelwood

They used to have a huge number of U21 prospects.
Must have sold all the good ones for PSR
