England U-20 Discussions Thread (2006 born)

Yeah was going to say the same, really didn’t consider JJ a serious option for Ireland at this point, maybe later if he’s not being picked for England at senior level but can’t see Ireland being an attractive option if you have serious ambitions.

 

Not right now, he's just too young to write off as an option for them imo. A lot can change in 3-5 years and circumstance can have a huge influence on these things.

 

Honduras U-20 to face England in friendly to be played in Spain - Hondudiario
The sporting director of the Honduran Football Federation (FFH), Francis Hernández, reported that the U-20 National Team is going to play an international friendly against England to be played in Alicante, Spain.

"I can confirm it, of course, it will be a match on May 31 in Alicante, Spain against England. We are going to make a tour from May 28 to July 7 in Spain where we will play three games, we have two opponents left, we will play against England, one of the most important rivals in the world, hopefully there will be many agents seeing players from that National Team that will represent us in the Concacaf Pre-World Cup in July," Hernandez said.

 

I remember seeing something about some match involving Spain being cancelled was it this age group?

 

The official website isn't showing a fixture

I do seem to recall seeing a u20 fixture on there previously though.

 

Can’t say I’ve heard of this bloke, but given Hearts are part of the Tony Blooms empire, this must see something in him or his data,

✍️ We are delighted to announce the pre-contract signing of MJ Kamson-Kamara.

The highly rated English centre half will join us on July 1st following the expiration of his contract at Lincoln City, penning a deal until 2030 🤝

Welcome, MJ! 👋

Manchester United forward Ethan Wheatley is a target for Schalke this summer. Schalke are keen on a permanent deal for Wheatley upon their return to the Bundesliga, but United only want the academy product to go out on loan. A number of other clubs are also keen. #MUFC #Schalke pic.twitter.com/DQ9QWfPIBk

honestly don´t know what so many clubs are seeing in him

 

I haven’t really seen enough of him but it’s like what AJ ( I think it was him ) said a few days ago, it’s worth taking a punt on a young English kid especially at a good price because if they do well, a Premier league team is likely to pay huge money to take him back and you can make a good profit.

 

I wouldn’t be surprised if he was a late bloomer. He’s got the physicality, he’s quite technical for his size, works hard and has good movement. He just shits himself in front of goal which could be something he grows out of.

 

Leo Black released by Spurs, apparently on trial according to LilywhiteRose a very reliable Spurs youth account at Hull City with a view to joining them.

Werder Bremen, West Ham, Swansea, Bristol City all mentioned as "interested" in Dom Ballard

 

Thought he was Chelsea's best player in the Youth League.
