He is now 16. He is in the same age "year" as all the other first-year scholars (and all of whom have appeared in at least one U-18 league match this season).

Let me be more precise with my answer; he hasn't appeared in any of the U-18 league games so far this season. He HAS appeared in friendlies against Arsenal (scoring once) and Eastbourne Borough (scoring five times).

Sounds like we need to see this young lad. Are U18 or U17 teams pre announced somewhere?

Larusson was signed a bit later than Asmundsson. He's very highly rated and is keeping young Ajax striker, who scores for fun for their youth teams Ottar Magnus Karlsson in the shadows. If he keeps on developing he could be a player but way too early to tell. Asmundsson is krap, I havent see him play but someone who has watched him in action a fair bit says he's useless and will never make it abroad.

Ragnar Mar Larusson posted on his twitter feed on Saturday that "Finally, the game authorization arrived!" (or at least, that is what Google translate tells me he posted, as I don't speak Icelandic). I'm taking that to mean that we have been awaiting international clearance for him.
This would explain why he has only appeared for the U-18s in friendly matches so far (he certainly hasn't been injured, as he has already played for the Icelandic U-17s side 7 times since August, scoring 4 goals in the process).
He also tweeted something about a Tottenham game "next Wednesday", so there may be a match against a Spurs Academy side coming up.

Thanks for the clarification, I appreciate it. I must say, this whole having a supposedly talented youth player coming through is rather exciting!

Asmundsson scored against palace for the U21's tonight in a 2-2 draw. He'll do for me.

I saw this lad about an hour ago in Worthing, complete with Albion track suit, backpack & 'Beats by Dre' in RED

The 16 yr old Larusson apparently scored 2 goals and earned a penalty in a 3-2 win for the reserves against Charlton today.

Which reserves? Do you mean the u21 squad?

There are no reserves anymore. You mean the development squad? Or the U18's?
Seems to be the dev squad, write up here, couldn't find anything for the Brighton end

Further research finds this thread on the game: http://forum.charltonlife.com/discu...ly-v-brighton-edit-lost-2-3-but-solly-started
The interesting line,
All 3 Brighton goals came through a left winger who is only about 17 - looks a decent prospect.

Under 21s came back 3-2 from 2-0 down.

Maybe Brighton are trying to convert him to a left winger but he is a striker by trade and plays as such for the Iceland youth teams.

It's a quote from the Charlton board, one of their fans wants these players gone. Poyet is Gus' son

What relevance does this have to Larusson ??

I think it's more a case of integrating him into the under 21s without the pressure of being the main striker.
