🚨 Watford withdraw U21 team and aim to close gap between U18s and seniors.
After 'lengthy review', they see 18-21s as players who should be on loan or with the first team.
Academy downgraded to Cat 3 but been told nobody has left 👇

🏴 I am convinced Stephen Mfuni will be a senior England international in 12-18 months.
He is in my opinion the best English CB prospect around.
Impressively he can also play as an LB.
Been really impressed by the ease with which he has settled on loan at Watford.
What stands out to me about him immediately are his physical traits.
He is an ectomorph with long legs perfect for defensive situations. He’s also quick and very difficult to beat in one vs one situations and defensive duels.
Secondly, what also stands out is how calm and composed he is on the ball. He carries with confidence, makes smart vertical passes. He can go long, he can go short, make line breaking-passes that are perfectly weighed.
He’s not afraid to take risks which is admirable for a player who is barely 18 stepping into adult football for the first time. Sometimes there’s a mistake in his game, but he tends to make up for it by winning the ball back.
Defensively he reads the game superbly.
Good acceleration, and anticipation. He defends the channels really well, quick to make recovery runs.
Decent in the air although he has found it a bit more difficult to assert his dominance in the Championship so far.
Overall, he’s a proper modern day defender. Someone who can go very far.
Interestingly his brother is regarded as equally talented and he plays for Liverpool’s academy at the moment captained the team that won the Virgil Legacy tournament in the summer. One to keep an eye on.
@UberUKI_Support Made a £20 order, which took an hour and 40 minutes to arrive. When it did arrive food was cold and had an item missing. Now I’m talking to an AI who gave me a refund of only £5. Unacceptable
