Norrin Radd Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 22 minutes ago, spitfire said: It’s not a reserve squad. It is a 95% u23 league (tbh mostly made up of 18/19/20 year olds) I believe the average age was 19.6 years for the roster players across both divisions at the beginning of the season.

The guy who scored that first goal for Crystal Palace is a 29 year old former Belgian international. It is similar to Olympic rules. As has been noted. 1 hour ago, spitfire said: It’s not a reserve squad... Coincidently, I went through those leagues/divisions in a post today about possible new player inclusions (and their teams) in the November Friendlies thread. I did not mentioned Liverpool as I thought it went without saying that they were in Premier League 2 Division 1. But to be fair, it is not a given.

WestHamCanadianinOxford Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 (edited) His game live on Youtube if you are so inclined. About 30 minutes in Watch a fair bit of this. Similar to what I have seen before. Stronger and faster than most at that level, carries the ball very and has a bit of trickery to go past people. Needs to be smarter off the ball and his final ball needed work today. Edited November 2, 2020 by WestHamCanadianinOxford Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestHamCanadianinOxford Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Only caught last 30' or so of his game today. That bit was similar to last game, very involved, carries the ball a lot, always direct and positive. Needs to work on awareness and decisions. They were trailing one-nil. Got hit on the break after having most of the ball. But then got a strange penalty. Ended 2-1 for their hosts Sunderland. Obinna 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestHamCanadianinOxford Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Gets a couple mentions in the match report for the Wolves u21's 1-2 win against Doncaster in the EFL Trophy group stage. The win advances them- in second place - to the knockout stage. His strike partner, who scored both for them, was bought for £36.00m this summer. Decent company. https://www.wolves.co.uk/news/under-23/20201110-report-doncaster-1-2-wolves-u21s/ Shway, Northvansteve, johnyb and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestHamCanadianinOxford Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 (edited) Highlights of the above. Just highlights but in there beating professional footballers one on one with pace and power multiple times. The Fabio Silva show, for good reason, but Corbeanu made his first and should have got the ball (back) from him a couple times.

El Diego Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 Gosh, his power is something else. Love to see a big man with silky feet not forget that he's a big man and use all the tools in his tool box. But that Fabio Silva kid... whew lad ETA: Read through a Wolves forum where they watched the match, many people very impressed with Corbeanu. Some said he was MOTM, one said he should start getting first team minutes, and one said he has been their best u23 player this year. The more I see this guy the more excited I get. I think playing in the Premier League this season is too soon, but hopefully he is in the mix for Wolves next preseason. ray, Nate3322 and johnyb 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stryker911 Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 We really need to get him capped. Looking at Romanias roster he would have a decent shot at making their team. Hard to say who would be a more enticing team to play for. Can't have him do a Yankov. The Real Marc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obinna Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 The comments about him sound very promising. I hope he can break through to the first team sometime this year. Hard for me to get too excited until he does. Not that I am complaining, but I wonder why he filed his one-time switch so early. It is a little unusual.

As things stand he shouldn't be on the U23 team. He's not even playing pro footy yet.

Regardless, he's matching Liam Millar, who has 8 senior caps. I think you have to take more into consideration than just where a player a player is plying their trade. He seems like quite a promising prospect johnyb, Kadenge, Nate3322 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
