England U-17 Discussions Thread #3 (2007 born)

Musiala is great and has a couple of classy moments, but he’s barely touched the ball.

It’s just well slow. Think they’ve let the pitch and the fact they know they should stroll this game get to their heads.

 

Looking a lot better since the changes. Ramsey is a big upgrade over Kenneh on the ball.

 

Top stuff from Boyce-Clark. Guessed the right way for every single pen.

 

Boyce-Clark won best keeper & Jude Bellingham got best player.

 

According to the Mail , Valencia and Benfica are interested in signing Jadan Raymond from Palace after impressing in the Cup competition in Poland.

 

Pretty sure Welch + Onyango are bigger than Simms was at this level and they're first years. It's ridiculous.

 

From England squads Onyango is the taller but Welch is still 15 and a Schoolboy!, ridiculous indeed.

 

Doesn't seem 2 minutes since I was excited waiting for the 97s to be old enough to break through in senior football then the 00s and now we're already waiting for the 03s. Why are we so old

Really good set of games for an excellent group. Always great to play against non-European sides.

They sometimes stream Pinatar games on YouTube, so hopefully they'll do so.

 

The Squad

Goalkeepers: Coniah Boyce-Clarke (Reading), Hubery Graczyk (Arsenal), Tobi Oluwayemi (Celtic)

Defenders: Luke Badley-Morgan (Chelsea), Jamal Baptiste (West Ham United), Levi Colwill (Chelsea), CJ Egan-Riley (Manchester City), William Fish (Manchester United), James Norris (Liverpool), Reece Welch (Everton)

Midfielders: James Balagizi (Liverpool), Carney Chukwuemeka (Aston Villa), Samuel Edozie (Manchester City), Jamal Musiala (Bayern Munich), Tyler Onyango (Everton), Charlie Patino (Arsenal), Aaron Ramsey (Aston Villa), Jadan Raymond (Crystal Palace),

Forwards: Karamoko Dembele (Celtic), Amadou Diallo (West Ham United), Lewis Dobbin (Everton), Harvey Elliott (Liverpool), Lewis Richardson (Burnley), Nathan Young-Coombes (Glasgow Rangers)

 

Bellingham injured or just not selected?

 

Heavy rotation so they probably just want to let him have a week off considering he's playing senior minutes.

 

Fair enough. Testament to the strength of this group that we can easily afford to let a player like him have a break.

 

Louie Barry also missing.

 

Confirmed to all intents and purposes by his 74 minutes against Middlesbrough tonight.

 

Great surprise to see him playing deeper. He did some impressive work in his own half.

I've only seen Will Fish play once but he looks like a player. Anyone able to comment?

 

It's early days but would like to hear other people's views on his strongest position.

 

I know that he really impressed on his u23 debut aged 16. United under 18s have been poor defensively this season, although he’s obviously very good.

 

I watched the game against Middlesbrough and he didn't look out of place physically deep, as long as he's in the centre of the pitch he can play anywhere.

 

You don't expect the finished article but he's a little bit more raw than I was expecting given he's always been a defender. But he is promising all the same.

 

A box to box number 8 all day. Bellingham is an absolute star in the making. Our best product imho outside of sancho and foden.

 

Nohan Kenneh now in the squad.
