First team graduates/appearances what? I think caliber of play youth wise. let’s get back on track here though. reality is some players grow, and evolve and others don’t. I think Wright is likely above youth football, which is very good for a 17 year old. Pepple wasn’t, let’s see where Lowell is at the end of the year, my guess is he could be a big transfer in terms of where he goes, maybe even a record fee. (Price wise I think 200k is the record) TGAA_Star 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take the seven editions of Youth League, the UEFA U-19 CL, since 2014 (cancelled this year), Barça has won 2, Real Madrid is defending champion. Okay, the players change yearly. But he played on a team that got a result against the defending best u-19 in Europe. I think the development quality is going to be a bit better than scrub minutes with Cavalry. Shame it could end here, after such a short stiint. But to elaborate on development: there is no development plan or concept in CPL. None at all. All they say is give the kids minutes. The rule is construed so soft , however, that we have teams that have already fulfilled those minutes after 14% of the season has been played. But minutes is not development. Development also has to involve developing, in all respects, not just hey, go out there against adults and help us get a result. Now I don't deny it is good for the kids, and we are going to see results in terms of some players moving on. But there is no academy system, no committment to local youth, no model of play, system, overreaching style, or development league or academy where 23 kids of 17 or 18 can work on skill sets and tactics and prep for a pro career. Some of these kids have only had that at a lowish level, almost none have been in a pro academy environment (except a few foreigners). I accept that within a few years they'll start to think about their own academies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is an attacking player that hasn't scored or assisted a professional goal. If you need a goal in the last 10 minutes, is that really the guy you look to? Did they concede a late goal in order to need a goal in the last 10 minutes 14ish times? Or did they ever need a goal when there were 20, 25, or 30 minutes down? That would be a better opportunity to get something out of a young player I would think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I accept that within a few years they'll start to think about their own academies. We're about ten to fifteen years before anything fully fleshed out like that is formed across the league, if at all to that extent, and maybe it doesn't even have to be that elaborate. Right now, I'd say we're more like the Czech Republic, it all depends on the kids and their inner drive, how motivated they are. Sometimes, there will be dark ages, which has mostly been the case for us, but, sometimes there will be a golden generation, think 1996-2004 for the aforementioned country. I think from here on out, we should have more golden generations as our professional infrastructure continues to develop in the form of further CPL expansion.

saintjoes Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 First time watching him today and wow, i can't believe there's not more hype around here for Wright. Nothing flashy today but his defensive positioning is David-esk and he shows impressive natural strength and balance to shoulder roll defenders like Larin does. Add well timed runs and all kinds of other superior technical ability. And he's a 2003..! Assuming he's got the right attitude I'd say he's got what it takes to be a top top prospect for us in short order. Hopefully we don't have to wait for a European transfer rumour before appreciating some of these exciting young CPL kids more toontownman, Kent, Ruffian and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t realize he has as much skill as he does. I’m hoping he’s the first big prospect the CPL has. It would be great for the league to have one so early on.

York sees him as such and teams are watching Abzi according to McNabb so surely Wright has caught some eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bison44 Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Between Abzi, Farsi and Lowell, you would think a few teams would be looking at tape of this game. Pottsy3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dominic94 Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 I’d imagine he’s gone at seasons end, don’t think an 18 year old with 6 pro goals isn’t going to be snatched up by a euro team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he had a few bright spots in the game against TFC. One of the very few on York that I thought looked decent. He showed some real glimpses of skill. Ingham of course was probably York\s best player understandably. Ivan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't watch a lot of Calvary, but what did Pepple accomplish in CPL to earn a move abroad? It looks like he only played 134 minutes over 2 seasons and he never managed a point as a CF. deschamp86 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
