We beat Liverpool U21's 2-0 at the weekend, although to be fair to Liverpool most of their U21's are currently playing for the 1st team.

That's now 6 matches unbeaten for our U21's which just happens to coincide with 6 starts in a row for young 16 year old Aiden Borland. Coincidence? Or do we have one hell of a player on our hands? The fact he's starting (and playing 90 minutes most games) every game for the U21's at the age of 16 is something in itself. The fact we're unbeaten in those 6 games (winning 4) is brilliant.

Very exciting. When was the last time we had a 16 year old making such an impact at U21 level? Grealish?

Time to sell him then.

Nah, we need to wait till he's ready to make the step up to the 1st team.... then when he's knocking on the door.... off he goes.

Never sell before they have their own Wiki page

[DeanoVilla]

Wow! 16 years old, a regular for the U21's and now training with the 1st team of a team fighting for a spot in the Champions League! Living the dream!

That's killed my theory he might be on the bench at Ajax then after training with the big boys

Patterson, that was the lad who I couldn't think of a few days ago, who had made Unai's match day squad when Unai first arrived

I think Munroe made a squad quite recently too.
