Maybe it's easy for you, but then I doubt you're a kid who was born in London to parents from the Ivory Coast and lived there for 5 years before moving to Scotland. A little empathy would go a long way - both in interacting with other forum members and in understanding Dembele's situation.
You are talking crap, Newbie. Itsonlybollockbrain is a sad and bitter halfwit of a troll. And total waste of space. Perhaps you need a "little more empathy" or at least give your head a ********ing shake in the hope you might be able to think straight.
OK people. I know there have been a few disagreements over a period of time that have festered up to this point but can we have a bit of a truce now? Everybody involved contributes greatly in their own way. I think we've created a really knowledgeable community here and a wide range of differing views has contributed to that. I've got no issue with a bit of verbal sparring and I've done it numerous times myself in the past. But lets not drag it on for too long and make it the focal point of threads.
Indeed, Barry. Some people need to put their petty, long standing grievances to one side. The past must cease for the new to be. Heal and grow. Heal and grow.
Dekel made his first u18 start on the weekend and got himself a brace. Johnson and Appiah also on the scoresheet from this group along with Shelvey keeping a clean-sheet. @ Juni was wondering if you have a player list for this group like you did in the 15s thread ?
Everyone named in a squad this season is in the U16 column here: http://youthhawk.co.uk/wiki/England_Youth_Internationals_2016-17 Additional names from the training camp last summer who haven't been called up (largely sourced from this thread): Tareiq Shihab (Brighton) Keyendrah Simmonds (Man City) Jeremie Frimpong (Man City) Recoe Martin (MK Dons) Shaun Williams (West Brom) There'll definitely be more but that accounts for 40+ players already.
Thanks Juni. Always forget to look at that part of youthhawk. Definitely has to be more players. There were those games behind closed doors v USA where Dekel and I'm sure others played in and haven't been picked again in addition to your list above.
I thought the list was of all players who has been selected in this age group. U15 and u16. My mistake.
Not sure if you guys can view this or not but tried to download Dekel's goals from Saturday from instagram. http://scontent.cdninstagram.com/t50.2886-16/17411900_177593766081468_5374112583995359232_n.mp4
I'm pretty sure Shaun Williams of WBA has played for the U16s this season. I think it was in a tournament at the start of the season.
Gotcha, if we're going back to the U15 camp for this group from the previous summer, then there's also George Wilson (Blackburn) James Tague (Derby) Louie Sibley (Derby) Sylvester Jasper (Fulham) Joe Lilley (Sunderland) Taylor Price (Wolves) Ethan Dekel (Nottm Forest) As well, probably more that've been missed. Price has been a near ever-present for Wolves U18s this season and is on standby for the Montaigu Tournament in April, we should start to see a squad come together for that over the next fortnight.
Curtis Jones, back from injury, was the most impressive I've seen him yet, scoring two goals in the 3-0 win against Blackburn u18s on Saturday.

That's a new name isn't it. Probably going to be quite a few although a number of players have been used by this group over 2 years.
He played in the UEFA Development Tournament last month. Was with Brentford until they shut down their academy last summer, joined Fulham, will be a scholar next season.

Been doing some digging. There is truth of interest but nothing official (especially with that 1m figure mark). We still confident of keeping him. Lovely goal he scored against Millwall (above) playing wide-left. Think like Appiah he is quite versatile in playing position because just good all round sort of footballers.
