Who Could Progress From The u21's? | Opinion | JP WHU TV

Intro [Music] hi everyone welcome back to JP whu TV it's nice to see you I hope you keeping well and having a good end to your week stroke the start of your weekend depending on when you're watching this video thank you to everybody that engaged in the uh that watched the sumerville medical video that I did yesterday just a brief update on that from what I understand is now actually P the first stage and it's just a few little bits and pieces of the second and a few little tweaks of the contract so hopefully fingers crossed we will get to see him as a as a player on uh technically Sunday morning for the Crystal Palace friendly that's over in the states even though it's going to be Saturday afternoon in the in the US um but today guys I thought we'd discuss about the under 21s and the players that I feel could actually make a decent impact in this coming season now of course um if there's any players I'm missing out that you feel we need to talk about by means put you please do put your comments in the comments section below and spoiler warning guys this is going to be a little bit stat heavy on this as you guys know I like to back up some information and opinions with stats to broaden out the opinion on why I feel some of these players could make it and some of them couldn't um but as always guys this video is sponsored by the channel sponsor 3 ret.com please click the link in the description below that would take you directly through to the West Ham section of their website where you can purchase some very nice retro gear along with track jackets polo shirts sweatshirts and t-shirts to go check those out any purchases you make through the link in the description below the commission that the channel would normally be getting as I always say I'll be sending on to the charity iron supporting food banks they're based in the newm area and they're helping those in the newm area and the ess6 county and further a field for that matter as they are currently supporting over 70 separate food banks probably 80 by now as of the time this recording so guys go grab yourself a really nice retro shirt you'll be saving yourself a few quid in comparison to the club shop and You' be helping those the're less fortunate than you and I but if you still want to make a donation to the charity but you can't afford to make a purchase through the link in the description that's perfectly fine just underneath it is the go um the just giving fund link so you can donate directly to the um directly to the charity so1 p25 whatever you can afford believe me guys it's going to make all the difference it really really does and apologies it's like 28° in this room at the minute it's ridiculous um I really need to try and get something sorted in here so as you can see I'm looking a little bit shiny cuz I'm sweating like crazy I literally had a shower about half an hour to 40 minutes ago before I did this video and I'm sweating again that's how humid this summer is but anyway transfer market shows there are 22 under 21 players in the squad and 23 seniors in the start in the for the adult West Ham side of it that's mad absolutely mad now as we know we're on a Callum Marshall striker hunt at the moment we're looking bouncing between F Krug and Duren but obviously along with Antonio Bowen and Danny in potentially I personally feel we could see more of Kum Marshall now let's go into exactly who he is I I say this is a bit stat heavy guys so apologies for that but it does give some good information on as to at least half of his capabilities now he's 19 years old he's a he's 5' 6 left footed so kind of in a way reminds me of the same sort of information of uh Jermaine theone when he broke through he was around about the same sort of height round about the same sort of age as well for that matter now K Marshall is a center forward but can also play on the right wing so basically competition for Jared Bowman from that point of view he's yet to make an appearance in the Premier League but for the under 18s Premier League he has had 32 appearances 2 five goals and four assists so an average goal involvement of just over once every every game I think like 1.08 if I remember correctly now of course most of these players we will know firsthand more from the their cup debuts and including the Europa League and a player we will come on to actually has made his uh debut and played a few games in the Premier League as well now in terms of the Premier League 2 the under 21's level of uh Premier League Ken Marshall has had 22 appearances last season 17 games and four appearances so again an average goal involvement of just over every game he's had a three appearances and starts for West Brum as well um for uh last season but he didn't get unfortunately on the record he didn't have any goals or assists he was on a bench for six other games but he wasn't in use Ed as it was sorry it was an unused Sub in this these games and wasn't really in the squad for the rest of the season he didn't have the best of starts for West Brom perfectly fine you know that happens it doesn't necessarily mean that there's anything wrong with Callum I just think that we we need to be started introducing him more in in on the level and of course he's if I remember correctly he's out he is out part out there in the Premier League sorry in the preseason games as well for Kideon Kodua that matter now there is also an option open for gidon Cuda who's out there who's been playing some of the preseason games so far he's so far he's 19 years old a center forward and can also play as a second Striker but from what I've seen of him so far in preseason granted it was only really the first game um of the game but I do personally think that his reaction time isn't quick enough yet his stats kind of back this up as his under under 18's Premier League stats show 43 appearances with 22 goals and seven assists so not bad but just an average goal involvement of about one one and a half games per goal goal his Premier League two involvement is 15 appearances with four goals and one assist so an average goal involvement once every three games last season he went out on Loan in January to Wick and wonders the league one side not the first not the only player we're going to be talking about that did that um and he's made 10 appearances with no goals or assists seven games on the bench that he didn't feature on either so you know let's you never know he could progress he could learn well he could be he could another one in there now looking between George Earthy Center forward and striking positions and the Midfield I'm sure you're saying George earthy right was the first name that came came to mind as far as I'm concerned he's an attacking midfielder as we know but he can also play center forward and Center mid he made his Premier League debut in the full and home game but as we know he sustained that head injury that kept him out for quite a few games but he did bounce back pretty much right back really and came back came on again against Luton to home sorry luten at home to score what he will probably class is his actual debut and also had nine minutes of of a cameo in the match at the city at the end of last season as well for that matter now he has been on the bench for f five games prior to his Fulham debut um but as an unused sub and also was an unused sub for the 5-nil Chelsea loss the week before the Luton game um for the under 21's Premier League he's made 40 appearances scoring 12 goals and 10 assists so an average goal involvement of once every 1.8 games not bad under 17 Premier League appearances 51 appearances uh 21 goals and 16 assists so a goal an average goal involvement of every 1.4 games so relatively relatively consistent four scored four goals in the 2223 FA Cup youth run two assists as well and of course he scored a goal in the final 5-1 victory over Kamari Swyer Arsenal now a player that talked about as you may have mention may have noticed in the previous previews Kamari s 21 years old an attacking midfielder who can also uh play out on the left hand side now leftand wing I should say now if Summerfield deal does go ahead I can't see him getting ahead of him or even cudas for that matter under 21 Premier League appearances 66 appearances with 15 goals and nine assists an average goal involvement of once every 2.75 games under 18 Premier League appearances 25 with six goals and three assists so an average goal involvement a smidge over the same 2.75 games as well so relatively incon relatively consistent stats perfect from that point of view I just I'm just not sure we're going to see much of him I would like him to break through of course it'd be great you know I'm sure we'll see him like these other guys will see them in the cup runs I mean let's face it guys we've only got two cup runs this season League Cup FA Cup so I'm sure at certain points but at the same time I wouldn't be at all surprised if we do see them in and around the this the senior squad for the most for a good portion I should say rather than the most of this SE of this coming season Jesus Christ I'm sweating like mad bloody hell what temperature is it it's 29 ah 29 right now looking at Midfield Lewis Lewis Orford Orford and Lewis means a renowned warrior in German if you wanted to know he is the first one to pop into people's minds when you when you talk about the the under 20 the under 21 level midfielders he's 18 years old and can play attacking midfielder as a midfielder as well in the under 21s level he's had 24 appearances with five goals and two assists it's an average goal involvement of just under once every 3.5 games doesn't sound all that impressive granted and also for that match in the under 18 level he had 45 appearances 12 goals and 18 assist so an average goal involvement of once every 1.5 games so this is what I'm talking about guys in terms of how difficult it can be to step up between the different layers of youth youth level and in and into senior level you know it really really is tricky I'm not saying that Lewis Orford hasn't got it in any shape or form he's shown glimpse of when we have seen him that he does so I'm hoping that he could be not will could be one of the guys that can step up more this season 19-year-old Pat Patrick Kelly is Patrick Kelly also a name that people are talking about he's a center midfielder but can also play on the left and right Midfield positions as well but from a stat point of view I haven't seen him play myself but from a stats point of view it's not really ready for it as yet it's honestly it's such small numbers it's unreal but I do hope that he has a great coming season in the under 21s smacks it and and is in and around the the senior level now looking at defensive Freddie Potts midfielder the first youngster that Springs to mind of course is the third pots to play for West Ham Freddy pots now as We Know Dan pots used to play for us and was out now playing for Luton and his dad Steve is involved as the under 21's manager so maybe we might there might be a bit of you know there's Lampard Junior stroke Lampard senior Harry redn issues going on that everybody criticized him about 20 odd years ago look how that worked out he 20 30 years ago but Freddy is 20 years old and can play on either side of Center back on the under 21 level in um he's had 45 appearances one goal and three assists there's no real need to have an averaging goal involvements as this position even in the Premier League has little to no goal involvement whatsoever but in that season you know in appearances he has kept nine clean sheets which is phenomenal and 18 under 18 Premier League 2 level um he's had 18 appearances one goal and zero clean sheets 36 appearances for Wick and wanders at the same time as Cuda he had two goals two assists and 11 clean sheets he looking pretty decent in preseason and personally I do think he could he could well be a very good choice to be under study for albarez I really think he he really could and Ollie Scarles finally and by no means last in any sh or form let's have a look at defense now and now two names instantly jump to mind maybe more for you we we did will have a couple of honorable shoutouts towards the end and I'm sure one of those names is going to be what you guys are screaming out but for me the first name is the left back of Ole scars now he is also like Freddy able to be able to play either side of Center back and also defensive Midfield positions he has done that in his past under 21 level he's had 28 appearances with two goals and three assists and kept five clean sheets under 18 level he's had 41 appearances three goals and 12 assists and kept 17 clean sheets and of course the other name that Kaelan Casey Springs to mind straight away is Center back kin Casey he's 19 years old he's a right-footed and can play either left or right center back position at the under 21 level he's had 31 sorry 34 appearances two goals eight clean sheets and has captured the side 13 times under under 18 levels he's had 39 appearances two goals and two assists and 14 clean sheets I would love absolutely love and I'm sure a lot of you guys are thinking the same thing from what his reputation was last season and hearing that those those stats is down to the fact that I would love to see him alongside kilman I really really would if you don't make those regular appearances as a captain at the under 21s and have those amount of clean sheets at under 18s and under 21s if you're not good enough to at least try and step up to the Premier League I really really hope he does go through that I really do now of course Honourable mentions some of you will be mentioning the man that's in limbo the UN the the I class him as the Forgotten man luzano the the uh Brazilian Center back we purchased a couple of seasons ago for the under 21s he's had 31 appearances scored four goals and only been able to keep six clean sheets in the in the center back pairing and is probably why there's talk about him if he hasn't already done so to go out on loan again that's one of the three um honorable mentions we're going to be talking about the second of course is 20-year-old Junior Robinson he's a right back but can also play right mid as well for that matter he's had 13 clean sheets in the in the 2122 season from 48 appearances in the under 18s uh he's had two goals and three assists and five clean sheets in under 21 season he's uh he's had 24 appearances two goals and four assists but I'm not really sure he's going to be able to come through as a right back it it just doesn't sound like right to me it really really doesn't and also Ryan batram 18-year-old right back who can also play center and right Midfield he's had six appearances including one in defensive Midfield and one in Center Midfield he's just kept just one clean sheet when it what um over that season on the under 21s he's had 36 appearances 18 goals three goal sorry eight under sorry 36 appearances at the under 18 level three goals and five assists 13 clean sheets right Midfield nine appearances and two goals Center back nine appearances one goal and three assists right back six appearances he's also played he's had played twice in defensive Midfield positions um and only and only had one assist as well for that matter doesn't look like he's been he been able to keep any clean sheets from what I've been able to see in in this games he's played in he looks like a very very versatile player by the looks of it but I'm not sure he's going to make it I really really don't you know but guys if Outro thank you very
