England U-16 Discussion Thread 2 [R] (2008 born)

Just a fun fact from that tier. Per Schuurs was the youngest captain ever when he was given the C-band at newly Eredivisie promoted Fortuna Sittard at 17 years! He performed very well and was bought by Ajax, after deciding it's too early to move to Bayern or one of the EPL clubs that were interested.

 

Wigan played a 15 year old Jensen Weir (Scotland U16s) in the Checkatrade so perhaps Gelhardt has been promised a similar opportunity if he sticks with them.

 

He's being linked with Chelsea today.

 

When do the 03’/s have tgere first game

 

Gelhardt linked with Man Utd, Liverpool, Everton.

Sunderland's Sam Greenwood set to join Stuttgart. Scored 7 in 15 starts as a schoolboy last season.

 

Looks like this year the 03s won’t be facing Romania as normal

Noni Madueke is in Holland at the moment to finalize his deal with PSV

 

Found these comments (from PSV website on Madueke transfer) interesting.

 

English Noni can dribble and score, so PSV is very eager offering a contract

Ben Knight has signed for Man City.

 

Two games against Croatia next week for the 2003s.

 

How good is he because i have never seen him play before

 

Liverpool, Spurs, Chelsea and Arsenal 2004’s all playing in the iccfutures cup in Florida, all games streamed here if anyone wants to watch some of the lads who got camp

just flicked on one of the streams, the pitch is a joke. Can never understand why they have these super expensive youth tournaments and then play them on awful pitches.

 

If it's 2004s that'll be for the U15 thread, fwiw. Ta for the link though.

 

Players seem to be meeting today for the Croatia trip, Joe Haigh and Sam Iling from Chelsea are in, sure there'll be more too.

 

You confirmed Chibueze above too.

We haven't seen much footage of this group ?

Any idea how they shaping up ?

 

Chelsea u16s

Squad Update


Chibueze (Chelsea)

Quansah (Liverpool)
Collins (Middlesbrough)
Colwill (Chelsea)

Haigh (Chelsea)
Simons (Chelsea)
Patino (Arsenal)

Bellingham (Birmingham)
Elliott (Fulham)
Iling (Chelsea)
Ramsey (Aston Villa)
Dembele (Celtic)
Musiala (Chelsea)

Barry (West Brom)
Dobbin (Everton)
Ridley (Middlesbrough)

 

So is the feeling Dembele is leaning towards England now, seems to be in most squads recently?

 

Seems that way. I can't imagine it'll be too long before he's seriously linked to a move back down South. Will be interesting to see how far Celtic are prepared to go to ensure he stays.
