Aaron Ramsey has a couple of good games and now he's is better than Jacob and is the next coming of Messi. Come off it. Messi is the previous coming of Ramsey, and that's without a scintilla of hyperbole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 Because there are tournaments this summer, players that would normally be pushed up an age group are being held back to play in those tournaments and give their current age group best possible chance of winning, once next season starts likes of Aaron Ramsey and Iroegbunam will come into contention for the U21 squad if doing well enough, and likes of Jacob will be phased out and expected to compete for the seniors. That said, I'm not really sure I see the logic in McAtee getting in the U21s ahead of Aaron, Ramsey has been the better player than him this season, and has been the better player for England coming through the age groups, but not only that Middlesbrough are more likely to be in the Play-Ofs than Sheffield United, meaning Ramsey is more likely than McAtee to be not available for U20 World Cup, so would have made more sense to put Ramsey in the U21s and McAtee in the U20s, if it turns out Middlesbrough get second place and Second place and Sheffield United drop into the Play-offs, then swap them around. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think the FA apply any logic to anything they do? No chance they'll have thought that eventuality through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 In terms of Ramsey and McAtee it might not actually be about who is the better player or has been doing better, but more who they want starting for the U20s to give them the best possible chance of winning Word Cup, if they think Ramsey is that player then McAtee can go and be a squad player for the U21s. I think a similar logic probably also applies to Alex Scott, and probably even Chukwuemeka for that matter although he hasn't played much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 Starts tonight against Germany, wearing the No.10 shirt, looks like he's playing in a front three with Iling-Junior, and Dane Scarlett. Iroegbunam is on the bench, Alex Scott starts as the DM. Only warm games so can't read too much into who is starting and who isn't, will probably rotate next game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you seen much of illing junior? I know he's played a couple of games for the first team but he seems relatively under the radar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 And personally I'm glad to see Harvey Vale dropped and hope that stays the case Thought he was the weak link last summer but was captain and played too much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 I've never seen Iling-Junior play, but as he's played for Juventus first team in various competitions I'm guessing must be fairly highly rated, at least relative to other players his age. Serie A doesn't end until after U20 World Cup starts, so in theory he might not even be available, but would think that Juventus will release him and allow him to take part. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
