England Under 21 Discussions Thread (2002+ born) #8

Lmao a month isn't even long. Completely unjustifiable what they're doing.

 

He cut short his break to go on Palace's US Tour, they've obviously absolutely ballsed up with assessing the injury.

 

He never had injury problems at rovers

 

goal of the season if he scored that wth

We can confirm that Alex Scott has today undergone a successful procedure to repair a meniscus injury sustained earlier this week.

Everybody at #afcb sends their best wishes to Alex, and we hope to see him back on the field soon. pic.twitter.com/Eopj7TPc7K

🗣️ Iraola on Alex Scott. #AFCB

'He trained [after the Arsenal game], but after training, he was feeling pain on the knee. He went to do the MRI, and we could see that he had a tear in the meniscus. The doctors decided to have surgery and decided in the moment if it was… https://t.co/a4hgExjNS8

Middlesbrough have ruled out the possibility of 22-year-old English midfielder Hayden Hackney joining Newcastle United or Tottenham Hotspur in January. (GiveMeSport)

 

Charlie Hughes has finally worked his way into Hull's starting lineup and he's making a very big impression. Might be tough to break into this squad before the Euros now as Carsley will understandably probably want to keep the squad quite settled, but he's a truly top prospect and will be playing in the PL very soon imo.

 

Particularly at centre back. Some other potions might be easier to break into due to players being promoted up to the seniors or going to the Club World Cup

 

Equally though I don't think the centre-backs in this squad are particularly great, Quansah aside. Branthwaite is quality but it remains to be seen if he'll come back down. TBH/Doyle/Cresswell are all fine, but I don't think any of them are future England internationals. Especially not Cresswell or Doyle.

 

I disagree on Doyle he’s wracked up a lot of appearances and has had four solid seasons since he was 17 at Sunderland.

 

I think he's got a good chance of having a long career in the Premier League, he's just concerningly slow yet doesn't have extraordinary size to make up for it and you have to be near perfect to get to the very top with those physical tools now.

 

Glasner on whether Adam Wharton will have groin surgery:

"Not [a discussion] in detail [yet]. When we take the final decision we will all inform you." #CPFC

So in other words, they are hoping they can get another few substandard games out of him before inevitably making his injury even worse!

 

England playing the Netherlands u21 in November

 

Liam Delap equalises for 10-man Ipswich

 

Then smashed what would have been a goal of the season contender against the post in the 98th minute.

 

Apparently no player 21 or under has scored more than Delap this season in Europe's top 5 leagues.

 

That’s pretty impressive especially playing for a struggling side.

 

Wharton starts for Crystal Palace.

 

Should be interesting to see if he’s still struggling and if so big question marks over Glasner.

 

Best midfielder on the pitch today, unfortunately for us...

He looks more than ready for a call up
