England U-19 Discussion Thread #3 (2005 born) [R]

I think what you said here is spot on.

He may just need game time. To be fair, Sarri hasn’t got much wrong but he can’t play Willian in every game. The remaining Europa League fixtures should provide some opportunities for Hudson Odoi.

 

Extremely harsh. Looked slightly short on confidence, knew that a poor showing would mean another 6 months with the development squad. Foden and Sancho played a lot more senior football and improved bc of that. Pretty sure he would be an instant success in many teams.

 

As great as Gazza was The best player you ever had was Bobby Charlton . One of our greats John Giles reckons Bobby was the best player he ever played against. This a man who played against Best, Cryuff , Pele etc.

Look at the video below . Bobby had the passing and vision and shooting of scholes , the dribbling of Gazza and the pace of John Barnes . He was as good as any player to play the game.

Its ridiculous to think you can draw conclusions about a player after watching them for 20 minutes. Personally I think CHO is as good as any player in the England youth ranks. I hope that he gets a loan this winter to prove it.

Derby County perhaps?

 

I was thinking Aston Villa could do with him. A few German teams would probably be interested too. His chances of playing on Wednesday will surely have improved, after Pedro’s injury and Hazard struggling for fitness. Come on Sarri, do the right thing...

 

Don't think the above mentioned teams are realistic for CHO: Derby already has a lot of loanees and don't really need another one, Villa also has a strong squad and they have their own youngsters too. I would rather back a continental loan for him: Holland, Germany, even France would be a great place for him.

 

The other advantage a move to Germany over the Championship comes with is the idea that it's less of a step to the Chelsea first team. We've seen kids go to the Championship and boss it and still be nowhere near a breakthrough (and this was and remains the concern with Mount), whereas the perception of the Bundesliga, rightly or wrongly, might open doors that would otherwise have remain shut.

 

I hear you. I think there would be a few Bundesliga clubs interested and they seem a bit more willing to give young players a chance. Can you see it happening in January?

 

If it happens in January it should be a season and a half loan. There's no point him going there, needing a tactical crash course, not being someone even in the clubs medium term plans, and then hardly playing any football.

 

Jack Clarke has been getting more and more minutes for Leeds first team, and fans are already want him to start.

 

A bit of a lucky finish by Smith Rowe but they all count! Right place - right time.

 

Did he get a few touches?

 

Looks like Skipp is being eased in. I was hoping to see him brought on a bit earlier.

I saw the Arsenal match and Smith Rowe did alright, if a bit nervy. Hudson Odoi didn't get off the bench for Chelsea though unfortunately.

 

Any news on Latibeaudiere ?

 

Looked like he had a bit about him when he came off the bench against us in the League but isnt he an 01 ?

 

Clarke is 00, Edmondson is 01.

 

Next u21 cycle we probably have Kelly & Chalobah for centre-back but I am still to be convinced by other 98s and 99s and where they are. Guys like Sulimann, Oxford, Tanganga

So it will be interesting how the 2000s get on in the next 12-18 months because obviously the position is probably the toughest to get opportunities in.

 

they should tell Rice they want him to be their U21 captain.

 

Thierry Henry is looking to bring Arsenal youngster Emile Smith-Rowe to Monaco.

Id be very interested in young English players going to France. The elite young talent going to play in Germany and/or France could solve the problem of young English players not getting a chance. Its of a high enough standard that doing well actually means something.

 

Morgan Gibbs-White just played a sublime through ball that could have made it 2-3 with time left for a Wolves equaliser. It had vision and precision.
