Wolves Academy Thread

Personally i am pretty impressed with the youth development at Wolves, jeez we seem to have got something right!

 

[lemonjelly]

Iorfa has looked class when I've seen him. Debating whether ball playing centre half is his best future position, or whether he has the flexibility to play in midfield.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Keep him well away from midfield. Neil Emblen should have been a classy ball playing centre half, we wrecked him by lamping him in the middle of the park.

I think he's best where he is. I reckon he'll be too lightweight for centre back.

 

[Premier Quality]

I'd imagine he'll fill out as he gets older.

 

[Lycan]

I still think right back will end up being his best position.

 

[MARKakaJIM]

You don't have to be a massive unit to play at centre half anyway, look at John O'Shea, even someone like Rio Ferdinand was never particularly big.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Cannavaro.

 

[PuntsWolf]

I wouldn't fancy getting in a scrap with cannavaro though.

 

[Alan]

But you would with Rio or even Roger Johnson?

We have a long history and tradition of youth football and development, thanks to former player Mark Crook and 'feeder club' Wath Wanderers.

Just saying Cannavaro was only 5"10 but a unit so made up for his small stature.

Then Colin Lee took it to a whole new level!

 

[Kenny]

v Albion
Flatt, Matinyadze, O'Hanlon, Weeks, Upton, Carter, Bancessi, Kellermann, Keita, Torras, Hunte.
Subs: Burgoyne, Rainey, Wilson, Reid, Ortega

Boukari being saved for the Brum Cup then

 

[Lycan]

Never heard of Upton or Carter before, I take it they're the centre backs?

 

[Tony Towner]

Ashley Carter is left sided full back / winger normally

 

[lemonjelly]

Flatts loan expired then?

 

[Kenny]

Flatts loan expired then?

Ended after Wrexham's game v Stoke

 

[YoungWolf]

Carter is centre back, played there quite regularly for u21s this season I think. Regan Upton we signed from Burton year or so ago, centre back or centre mid think he's still a second year for u18s.

 

[Carrotdude]

Sounds like we've had plenty of chances but still 0-0. Keita, hunte and bancessi mentioned a lot.

As for earlier discussion is say iorfa looks a natural right back, no need for him to move inside or into midfield
