Selred Posted September 16, 2022 Report Share Posted September 16, 2022 Got to be knocking on the door for u21's soon! 2x Sheff United midfielders (on loan from Man City) in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chinapig Posted September 16, 2022 Report Share Posted September 16, 2022 I thought Ronnie Edwards was outstanding at the Euros like Alex but they didn't get enough credit because they don't play for Premier League clubs. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridiculous it makes you wonder if these scouts actually do anything but have conversations so many people have roles in football stealing a living because of who they know… drives me mad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was my first instinct but in fairness that U21 squad has some decent players in there too i.e. Gibbs-WHite, Garner so its probably better he stays where he is and starts most games. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You see it often in the form of favours, connections whatever in the transfer and particularly loan market too.

Mr Popodopolous Posted September 16, 2022 Report Share Posted September 16, 2022 More to the point, congrats to Alex Scott. Conway for Scotland U21, Scott for England U20 and Semenyo for Ghana. Excellent and testament to the academy (yes I know, Guernsey and the college in the case of the last two). Kalas although not academy would also be in and around the Czech squad were he fit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought the same but the Under 21s midfield is very very strong - the strongest part of the squad imho. He’s got to be knocking on the door mind.

bcfc01 Posted September 16, 2022 Report Share Posted September 16, 2022 Scott still qualifies for the u19s I think, so he's gone up an age group and getting recognition. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bard Posted September 16, 2022 Report Share Posted September 16, 2022 The squad is more or less identical to the under 19s that won the euros. There's an under 20s world cup in May. Next season go to under 21s. It's obvious really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are ignoring who was picked ahead of him. You may well think that Scott is more deserving than one of them but it can hardly be considering a scandal that he hasn’t been picked. He is competing against very good players in his position. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have they played more competitive football than Alex I stand corrected if so and will be humbled Had a quick look. Mcatee certainly has not, Garner certainly has but then he's 21, 2 and a half years older than Scott so he should have...went up with Nottingham Forest last season on loan. Doyle hasn't- on loan at Cardiff last year, Sheffield United this. He is 20, turns 21 in October so older than Scott again. Mcatee is also older by about 10 months than Scott, so could make a case for Scott over him and perhaps Doyle IMO.

Not many minutes, but “next Foden” allegedly. Garner (21) - Everton (just signed for £9m from Man Utd). Been on loan at Watford and Forest last two seasons making 81 appearances. 7 Eng u21 caps so far. Doyle (20) - Man City (on loan at Sheffield Utd) - 20 games for Cardiff last season, small number of games for Hamburg in Bundesliga.2, 6 u21 caps already.

Think a reasonable argument for Scott over the 1st and last IMO. Garner should be in there but then again should Scott be weighted a bit higher due to age?
