England Under 15 Discussion Thread #1 (2009 born)

Dembele has far more potential than Grealish. The Scots will never forgive KD if he switches to England. Despite him being born and the family living in London for quite some time.

 

Roco Rees (Brighton)

 

Freddie Potts (West Ham)

 

I think Rees was at the recent goalkeeper's camp because he's a club U16 for the coming season, he'd be too old for this group.

 

Didn't double check birthdate but did for Potts. Because they in England gear.

Been busy the last few days so trying to catch up for the 3rd camp.

Not sure if a Levi Laing & a Nathan for Arsenal were found ?

Also for Man City a Luke Mbete.

 

Mackenzie Lamb (WBA)

We now have 6 WBA & there were 7

 

Jamal Baptiste (West Ham)!

 

Rico Richards (WBA) was an unused substitute for the U18's for the first game of the season.

 

As was Chisom Afoka, who is another club U18 I believe.

 

Bit early to say that. Grealish was a big talent, let down by his attitude (+ his nonchalance isn't well perceived in England). Dembele is unique in Scotland bc they never have any gifted players

 

He moved to Scotland when he was 5, he probably barely remembers living in London.

 

Dembélé? I'm sure I've seen an article where it says he moved to Scotland before his first birthday.

EDIT: This article.

 

This article was published 48 hours after that one and says he was 5: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/ar...kid-Karamoko-Dembele-Scotland-s-clutches.html

I don't think it makes much difference which one is right when it comes to saying he moved away from England very young.

I would say there is more than a few guys here who could do a very good job.

 

Harvey Vale is in from Chelsea, suspect a lot more of them are too.

 

Evening. First time caller, long time listener here.

As previously stated, Palace have four in the latest training camp. Jadan Raymond has also been named in a Wales training camp. Not sure what his preference would be though.

 

Well, there seems to be a trend that duals seem to prefer Wales at the moment ( I'm sure somebody will tell me differently ) as players that have played for England & Wales, ultimately seem to stick with Wales like Ampadu, Cole Da Silva, Matondo, Brooks and there is probably more I've missed. I'm not saying all these players are necessary a huge loss for England and I've never seen Raymond play but wouldn't surprise me if he opted for Wales as they seem to have a good set up and look after the players they seem to get hold of and convince them to stick with Wales.

 

The only one of those four who could really be said to have stuck with Wales is Ampadu. Cole Da Silva is less talented than his brother so I doubt the FA is chasing him too hard, Matondo is way to young to say that about and Brooks has been busy demonstrating that sticking with things isn't really his strong point.

Ampadu and Woodburn is probably the whole list. Fast tracking into the senior team isn't a perk England can really directly compete with.

 

Cole Dasilva is easily good enough to play for England U19s right now in isolation, but they have a lot of good full-backs, so he's not getting a look in because he's not better than Sterling, Sessegnon, James and Tymon; two of them are team-mates at Chelsea, two have had first-team football elsewhere. Understandable really, and so he's taken his chances with Wales, who have already put him in their U21s, and since the likes of Gethin Jones have been in the senior squad with minimal senior experience, he probably fancies his chances of a full international career there soon.

 

I dunno mate, Matondo is very highly rated at City and some even hold him in similar regard to Sancho. Whether that's true or not I don't know as haven't seen enough of him tbh but seems he's more than likely out of our reach as he's even in the Welsh U21's now so I would guess he's gone. You're right though, we can't compete with this fast track system that Wales can offer.

 

Congratulations to Ellis Taylor who has got through to the next selection stage for the England U15s. pic.twitter.com/iUOfTseDeb

Our 14s/13s played in a tournament this past weekend (Birmingham/Chelsea) and Darlington wasn't there so assuming he attended the camp.

Oldham's Jack Williams is at the one starting Oct 26 : https://www.oldhamathletic.co.uk/news/2017/october/02102017-jack-williams-call-up/
