Anyway, back to young Mr Simms. I think you're being a bit harsh on the lad.
Apart from a pre season tournament 18 months ago I've only seen the goal highlights for Simms. You are right to a degree Nymz. His size does give him an advantage at this age group but if you look at the goals he scores, not many are typical big centre forward goals. For a big guy he's very skilful on the floor, and for at least half of his goals this season (up until yesterday which I haven't seen yet) he's had to beat at least one player in the box before firing home. His finishing is also very accomplished. His size does make him look lethargic though and I've not seen that many goals where he's playing on the shoulder. But Edin Dzeko has shown that there is still room in the modern game for big strong old fashioned centre forward, especially one with a knack for scoring goals. 16 in 10 is not too shabby to be fair, at any level as Eggs rightly says.
You could be right with the settled team thing. It is strange thought when we've done so well in the in the U18 PL that we couldn't make any impact in the youth cup.Maybe we will do better in the Youth Cup this season as we’ve a more settled team. A few years ago we brought in Davies, Connolly, Walsh , Dowell back from u21 and promptly lost at home , Villa 1-0 I think, as others have said we haven’t done well since the Osman/Jeffers era. And again as others have said Chelsea are the team to beat, in fairness to them they’ve played some fantastic football in the finals the last few years.
Sambou scores some worldies but he's just as likely to miss a 2 yarder. He's also 4 years older than Simms.Oh yeh I was being very high-level with my assessment; his finishing looks good and he does have the size/pace which are powerful combos but I dunno, I just get this really strong Brewster vibe from him. I'll catch him a few times in the U23's before I completely write him off. I just think Sambou would probably do the same in the U18's and I don't rate him whatsoever.

Adedoyin of course hasn’t played as many games due to injury, he appears to be less physical but sharper and more skilfull than Simms, time will tell .I know the age gap I’m just talking about the profile of the player. Much more excited about Adedoyin than Simms.
Didn't stand out for me when I saw him a couple weeks ago, but others that have seen him more than once will have a better idea of him!!
Of course he could also grow at the same rate as his peers and be Drogba or DuncanWatching some of the Simms highlights, he seems at the moment to be one of those young kids who is too big and strong for those at his age group. I think he needs to try to take on the u23 level soon because demolishing the u18s is only helpful for so long and if you can just physically dominate it might be detrimental toward the development of actual skill. Odds are he will eventually meet his match physically and then it'll be a problem if he doesn't have the skill.
