An Observer Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 Good to see he seems to have the starting spot. I think he has a shot at being our starting keeper in 2026. A very imposing figure and quite athletic. Of course, he would need to be starting for his parent club by then or close to equivalent as well as committing to us. But good that he seems like he will be getting minutes in League 2 this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olympique_de_Marseille Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 Also not in the England U21 squad: https://www.englandfootball.com/articles/2023/Sep/01/england-mu21s-squad-named-to-play-luxembourg-20230901 Just as a reminder, Nigeria, like us, didn't qualify for the Paris 2024 Olympics. The only youth football he is still eligible for is England U21 call-ups. Otherwise it is trying to get senior team action. johnyb and WestHamCanadianinOxford 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only youth football he is still eligible for is England U21 call-ups. Otherwise it is trying to get senior team action. He is League 2 on loan from a Premier League club. Two of the England u21 keepers are League 1 (one also on loan from a Premier League club). So not miles off there. Trafford is the other and he has started both games for Burnley. Goodman will age out a year after Trafford, so maybe he waits for a bit. But all those I mentioned are eligible for the 2025 Euros (born after Jan 2002).

Kadenge Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 The number of National youth levels and competitions in Europe is incredible. So many opportunities for young players to showcase their talents and for National & club scouts to assess players in addition to their club performances. toontownman, TOcanadafan, Shway and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olympique_de_Marseille Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 (edited) My apologies, I thought '03s would be too old for the U20s , but I guess I wasn't familiar with the Euro Elite League. Edit: This level is not sanctioned by UEFA and so these are essentially U20 friendlies. Edited September 2, 2023 by Olympique_de_Marseille Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The UEFA ecosystem benefits everyone involved. 170 scouts showed up recently for ITA u16 v ENG u16 at Italy FA's technical centre in Florence. They can't talk to the players but it was easier than getting into St George's Park. They can also learn how the players were like away from the pitch. Sometimes, it helps to know more about who to steer clear from. Lots of agents also but they were more focused on what was going in the stands to better understand the silent partnerships between the parents and agents. One of England’s most exciting players is Rio Ngumoha from Chelsea. An agent speaking to the Athletic notices there are 10 or so London-based agents sitting close to his relatives. Agents can talk to the families but can't discuss money with most of them till they turn 16. Agents often get in with the families by setting up boot deals since it is often the obession of a player. https://theathletic.com/4805463/2023/08/29/england-youth-transfer-scouts-agents/ Kadenge, johnyb and maccaliam 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So there has been a team in England since I can remember. Usually real good prospects don't spend a lot of time there. They mostly skip from u19s to U21s but that sometimes changes around World Cup time. Ugbo played in the England u20s and Tomori did a lot before graduating to the U21s (the latter won a u20 World Cup in 2017.) And Jebbison just played limited minutes in the World Cup this year.

Usually the U20s are designated separately from the U19s if a particular UEFA nation has qualified to the U20 World Cup. This lasts until the end of the U20 World Cup. This U20 tournament has 03's in it although the U20 World Cup is already over for the year.

Ya, I just thought the Europe just used their u19’s to qualify for the next u20 World Cup. And I agree, there’s definitely a pecking order… if you’re a standout for u19 you go right to the u21 team.

So that infamous friendly in March 2016, where Tomori played for us - Canada u20 vs England u20s. That same window, both the England u19s and u21s were playing qualifiers for their respective Euros. Lots of overlap at various time but three teams most of time. (some future decent players in that u20 team Tomori faced - Rashford, Greenwood, Winks, Angus Gunn, Mason Holgate.

The game time would put Goodman ahead for a look in. Imo. However, Crepeau, Sirios, St Clair, Borjan and Breza are all playing at far higher levels. Probably missing someone else too.

Vasi Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 Also this kid was born in England and lived most of his life in England. Moved here at 6. He lived here for 7ish years. Played for the u 13's of CP. I personally have no hope of him paying for us, not do I have any qualms if he does not play for us. Good luck to him.
