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

But surely if journalists had any interest then they would follow the right sources and know when and where to watch England games?

 

I can't fathom why you'd have Dibling in the squad over Rowe on a number of levels.

 

More natural on the right maybe? I definitely think Rowe should be here but I actually think I'd rather have Dibling than Hutchinson. Think Dibling has shown more in the PL than Hutchinson and has more to his game.

 

Why isn't Louis Barry getting a look in. He's got 9 goals in 16 games for Stockport this season

 

is he too old? he's not played at age group level since 2021 at U18 level

 

He's not to old he's 2003 born, but I think they just prefer the options playing at a higher level, similar to Stansfield who hasn't been picked since moving to league one.

 

Manchester United are set to reignite their interest in £70m-rated Evertoncentre-back Jarrad Branthwaite, with the Merseyside club unable to afford a new contract for the 22-year-old England international. (Mail - subscription required)

 

Lot of confusion about why Sam Tickle, in good club form, has been dropped for Matthew Cox who is not currently playing senior football.

As per Cirkin, confusion.

 

Hinshelwood has gone off injured for Brighton so obviously now a major doubt.

 

Tottenham, West Ham and Chelsea are all tracking the progress of Gent defender Archie Brown, 20, but the Englishman's contract at the Belgian club does not expire until 2027. (TBR Football)

Morgan Rogers and semingly James Trafford have been promoted to the seniors.

 

Rogers, Branfhwaite, Livramento and Trafford all promoted to the seniors. No updates as to who will replace them.

With this update Creswell is only winner of the last Euros in this current squad.

 

Seems to just be the default to use the Under-21 squad as a standby list for the senior squad rather than picking someone outside the bubble. Harwood-Bellis was a particularly strange selection as I don't think his play this season has merited it.

 

I think it was just easier for Carsley to pick someone he knew.

I wonder who will get moved into this squad. The U21’s met up today at St George’s park (There is a photo of Jobe and Jude together) but we haven’t been given the names yet. Sam Tickle surely is Trafford’s replacement but who knows about the others.

Norwich City’s Kellen Fisher, Bristol City loanee George Earthy and Newcastle United’s Lewis Miley have received maiden call-ups to the England MU21 squad.

The trio were previously part of the Elite League squad but have now been added to Ben Futcher’s group.

Luton Town’s Teden Mengi has also been recalled to the squad ahead of fixtures away to Spain and Netherlands.

This follows previous confirmation of Jarrad Branthwaite, Tino Livramento, Morgan Rogers and James Trafford moving across to the senior squad.

Elsewhere, Elliot Anderson, Callum Doyle, Jamie Gittens and Jack Hinshelwood have been ruled out through injury.
