Icelandic wunderkid

[TSB]

Looks about 12. Gosh it'd be exciting if we actually did have an Icelandic wunderkind on our hands!

No it was the U18's in a friendly against Eastbourne Borough's Academy side

Impressive for a 16 year old to score 5 vs players older than him, regardless of it being Eastbourne? Or does that detract significantly from it?

Same age. Their Academy side is available for players aged 16-19, but I know all bar one or two lads are 17. The rest are 16, the equivalent of the first year of U18 football. Still they are actually a very good side; so yes, to score five goals is rather impressive

Born in 1997 OMG I'm ancient (at 30)

Is there any chance whatsoever of our holding on to this lad? He appears to be a great prospect. Is he actually our player? Have to say I'm a tad confused by this thread.

Scored 5 today. I think it must be the U16's though, not the u18's.

Thanks for the update. I must try and get along to see him play at some point. He sounds like an excellent prospect. Does anyone know whether the Under 18s have a fixture list please?

Yes - Albion U-18s fixture list

Some bullshit from football rumours was thrown in suggesting he had left for Reading. He hasn't.

Thanks for that. Do you know where the Under 18s play their home games?

 

[perseus]

Emil Asmundsson? Or have we signed another?

Why wasn't he in the reserves at QPR?

 

[AZ Gull]

Thanks for that. Do you know where the Under 18s play their home games?

I believe they play at the University of Sussex Sports Grounds. The address given in the 2011-12 Youth Alliance Handbook is Ridge Road, Falmer, East Sussex, BN1 9RB.

I would assume that from next autumn, they will play their home games at the new academy at New Monks Farm, Lancing.

At the uni usually.

You would have to ask Simon Ireland for the definitive answer, but presumably because we have more than 16 players available from whom to choose. He started against Ipswich and was a sub against Swansea.

Thanks. That's helpful. I'd hate to think of Reading pinching another one of our players. The Steve Sidwell saga still rankles with me.

This was why he didn't play for the U18s vs Birmingham then I guess. Good stuff!

 

[Don Tmatter]

So we have got two Icelandic lads?

He hasn't appeared in any of the U-18 games so far this season.

 

[algie]

He hasn't appeared in any of the U-18 games so far this season.

Why would he if he is 15 years old?
