Here's a thread for him to follow his progress, well played Markus!

Sounds like he towers over the rest

A half term progress report by AZ Gull on Cashman, Jenks and Tsoungoui would be interesting.

 

[Cadiz Seagull]

Presumably a relation of Paul?

 

[McTavish]

Presumably a relation of Paul?

Apparently not. From AZ Gull's thread:

No, think he may be related to Jerel Ifil ex Swindon

 

[Stat Brother]

Sounds like he towers over the rest

That took much longer for me to see than it should have done.

For that I you, Sir.

Just looked at class of 2015, Trent AA has made it and maybe Reece Oxford and Joshua Maja May still be stars, the rest seem to have dropped down So shows you potential doesn’t meet reality

You say that, but Tyler Roberts left West Brom a couple of seasons ago and now plays for Marcelo Bielsa, therefore the likelihood is that he will be in contention for the Ballon D'Or by January.

That article is from a year ago, so I don't know where he is now, but the situation he finds himself in underlines why the Albion's policy of loaning players out to get experience is so useful to development. U23 football isn't enough for players getting close to 1st team ready.

Pretty surprised there wasnt more talk about him this summer. Good player, going to end up in the PL some day.

It is nice for him to get a bit of publicity - just a shame the Guardian couldn't spell his name correctly.

(It is Marcus, for future reference).

 

[AZ Gull]

Marcus (and, yes, it IS spelt with a "C") has announced his (permanent) departure from the club.

Presume we don’t know where he’s going?

I have no idea if YOU know where he's going; I certainly don't!

So why does the manner of your response not surprise me?

"manner of your response"? Eh?

 

[timbha]

"manner of your response"? Eh?

A simple “no, not seen anything yet” would’ve done. Apologies if the meaning was lost in translation

Isn't he still under contract until June
