I think it is the first team. Some of the players listed with Payne played in Groningen's first friendly yesterday. Payne did not make an appearance.

Desevio made the bench but was an unused sub in Groningen's most recent game vs. Twente. He could be in line for an Eredivise debut in the near future.

Credit to Dave for finding another diamond in the rough! This guy should definitely be called up to the next European friendly. As a right back though, he's at least behind Chandler, Yedlin, F. Johnson (if not at LB or LW) and Cameron (if not at CB or DM). Then there's Lichaj and Spector, who can also play RB, but are not in Klinsmann's good graces.
So Payne is (primarily) a RB. Can he play other positions well, esp. centrally? A good RB is a valuable commodity, but it would be great if - like Cameron - he can play in more than one position.
I know its likely not going to happen for qualifying, but if we progress to the U-20 WC, do you think he could get a call up to a U-20 camp in the next few months?
I don't know what to think anymore. Tab is tough to predict. I do think that there is an opening at RB for this team.
According to this site he will be in the starting line up against ADO http://www.fcgonline.nl/index.php/2014-10-27-12-26-44/trainingsverslagen/3658-training-28022015
