International Call-ups 09/10

[PS18]

Certainly doesn't look like a great squad. I like the look of Briggs and Baker from what I've seen of them, Townsend too, and Delfouneso obviously. Mellis looked promising a couple of years ago, not sure he's pushed on a great deal. Shame they couldn't call up Wilshere.

[Decotron]

Is that the same Gorman that we had in the Academy a year or two ago?

 

[oskarutd]

That is true.

 

[GCHQ]

That is true.

Cheers. Good to see he's doing well.

 

[jb8521]

Sam Johnstone and Zeki Fryers have been called up to the England under 19

 

[PS18]

Luke Hendrie's in the U17s as well. Both van Velzen and Gorre are in the Holland U17s.

Victory Shield starts tomorrow, NI vs Scotland - we've got a kid in the NI squad, Patrick McNair. Can't find much/any info on him but might be worth watching - THE DREAM STARTS FOR THE NEXT GENERATION

Edit: Sounds an interesting prospect - Soccer Post - Feature News

 

[datura]

Yeah, I'd heard of McNair off the OWC forum, it will be interesting to watch him. Is he with the u16s or still in NI at the moment?

Thanks for that, Paddy McNair seems to be very, very highly regarded - a name to remember it seems. A little odd when you hear such grand praise for someone who is only 14-15 but sounds a great prospect. Will try to watch the match, or some of it at least, and hopefully see him in action.

 

[PS18]

The squad list for the U16s has him down as 'Manchester Utd/Ashdon on Mersey', which I assume is meant to be Ashton on Mersey, where lots of the United schoolboys live and study, so I assume he's over here now.

Good spot, I'd missed that.

I'm assuming he'll be one of the youngest players tomorrow as well as he can only be 14 judging from when the other article was published.

Gus Poyets son Diego is in the England squad for the Victory Shield. No United link but should be interesting to see.

Is Gorre still on our hands?

 

[datura]

I was surprised to see no United players.

Bryan Gunn's son Angus (also a keeper) is in the squad too.

 

[PS18]

Is Gorre still on our hands?

Yes.

 

[datura]

McNair didn't feature for NI at all.

 

[Elliott]

When's the next Victory Shield game?

 

[samabachan]

According to PS18, Thorpe was selected for the England u19 squad as an injury replacement - great to see him stepping through the age groups!

 

[jb8521]

Robbie Brady and Sean McGinty both got a goal and an assist in Ireland under 19s 5-0 win against Luxembourg with Brady scoring a penalty he won himself. Both players also scored in a 2-1 win against Bulgaria.

 

[Decotron]

Play them both tomorrow Trap!!!!

 

[jb8521]

Marnick Vermijl, Sam Johnstone and Zeki Fryers are all playing in the Belgium under 19s game against England under 19s

 

[datura]

They lost 2-1, ex triallist Michael Ngoo with the English goal. Eden Hazard's younger brother Thorgan was playing for Belgium.

So considering this article was over a year back.. Has there been any news since? Is he with us full-time now?

Seems that way:

Some bad news for Everton in that game:

'Everton have confirmed young midfielder Ross Barkley suffered a double leg fracture during England’s under-19 international against Belgium.

The 16-year-old was named in the starting line-up for the Young Lions' 2-1 defeat but had to be withdrawn near the end of the first half after a collision with team-mate Andre Wisdom.

The incident happened late in the first half leading to both players needing to be substituted.

Barkley's injury will now be assessed by the Everton medical staff.

The injury will be a huge blow to David Moyes as Barkley has been part of the Everton first team squad this season.

He has been named on the bench on several occasions but has yet to make his senior debut for the Toffees.'

 

[datura]

It's England v Wales tomorrow night in the Victory Shield, no United players in the England Squad and I can't find the Welsh squad.

 

[PS18]

No Reds in the Welsh squad either.

That's a horrible injury for a 16 year old to have. And he got it in a collision with a team mate?

Hope he makes a full recovery

 

[Chirag]

Seems that way:

Oh thanks.. How blind of me!

 

[x42bn6]

A Liverpool player too...

 

[datura]

England are 3-0 down to Wales after 30 mins, 2 pens!

Edit, make that 4 down!

That's what you get when you pick no young reds.

 

[Pogue Mahone]

Wales has a load of quality young players at the moment, doesn't it?

 

[Ole'sbodyguard]

Wales has a load of quality young players at the moment, doesn't it?

Do they?

General consensus in Wales is, Bale and Bellamy aside, the rest of the players are not upto much. Ramsey's obviously disregarded due to his injury. Everyone's a wee bit disillusioned with football at the moment and the prospect of Toshack's replacement is not exactly causing renewed hope.

I'm not Welsh but have lived here for over 20 years and I've not followed the end of Toshack's reign with much focus so my opinion is not as informed as it once was but there was similar talk on Toshack inheriting a nucleus of better players than before with the emergence of the likes of Bale, Ramsey and the other youngsters and it did not pan out like that.

The two best Wales side in my era were Yorath's side(which was good from such a limited supply line) and Hughes's Welsh side. Both were unlucky not to make major tournaments and has some genuinally top players in both and a fair few very good ones. Same quality is not around at the moment.

 

[datura]

McNair played for the NI u16s in a 3-2 loss away to Germany a week or so back so hopefully he'll feature against England in the Victory Shield on the 4th November:

BATTLING PERFORMANCE BY UNDER 16 TEAM

United youngster James Weir may also feature for England:

[LouisRocca]

Magnus and Josh are finaly in the Norway U21 squad!
They are playing Greece away November 17th.

 

[Eirik Raude]

Magnus and Josh are finaly in the Norway U21 squad!

Long due if you ask me. Should have been included a long time ago, but nobody in Norway seems to care about the English reserve players, even though they have proven to be superior to most Norwegian sides when it comes to quality.

 

[Einar15]

James Weir has been withdrawn from the England U16 squad for the Victory Shield against N. Ireland probably because of a injury but Paddy McNair is in the Irish squad.

Also Donald Love has been selected for Scotland U17s for a friendly against USA.
