Ah you mean the fact we still don’t know was an Anti-climax? Sorry I thought the player had been named and it was an anti-climax as to who he was haha.

Remember that there are also u19 qualifiers in October and u18 training camp so the eligible player on the fringes of the Premier league squad could be called up for u19s or u18s Dragonsoccer weekly youth team news today mentions Ed Turns a centre back from Brighton who could be the suggested eligible player dragonsoccer.co.uk/newsite/younggunssep21.php

Wake me up when there’s a goal scoring striker who’s eligible. One thing that’s abundantly clear from the squad announcement is that, without Bale, there’s almost no goals in there bar Kieffer’s rate of about 1 in 3 or 4

Other than that, we have Wilson, and.... yeah that's about it actually.

Honestly it’s embarrassing. I don’t know what they were thinking sorting the squad list in the way they did but to see Thomas, Roberts and James listed as our “forwards” made my concern about a lack of a decent striker feel even more pressing!

The player is Ed turns i believe, brighton & hove albion centre half. Played 90 mins in a 2-0 win against swansea in the elf cup and had a few MOTM shouts. He made 1 tackle, 53 passes (92%), made 2 clearances, 3 ball recoveries and 6 long balls. Brighton fans seem to be pretty excited about him, could be another ben white type of player looks like he’d have a bright future with us if i’m right, only time will tell.

Known to the Faw for a couple of years. Ds original post hinted at in the last few months, that this player was eligible.

Been doing some googling, seems he's only 5.8 - 5.10. Bit short for a CB? Saying that, Williams nor Chester were giants.

That must be wrong or years out of date surely? 5ft 8 ? Would be typical if we have uncovered a potential premier league centre half and he was just 5ft 8 inches! If true then we do not have to worry about England or anyone else!! Joe Allen is 5ft 6 inch so maybe given he is slowing down, then maybe we can push him back to centre half too!

Amatuer sleuthing by all means but going off EFL heighlights against Swansea youtu.be/9t9EpE1Oat8?t=148 Ed Turns marking Liam Cullen whose about 5ft8 or 9. So I'd say that's about right by the looks of it.

Dragon soccer dragonsoccer have reported that Adam Woodyard of Wimbledon may be eligible for us. A 28 year old who has spent his entire career at League 1 or lower doesn’t raise the excitement levels but then again I said that about Keiffer.

People said the same about Kieffer, and would have said the same about Sorba if it was reported when he was at Boreham Wood I don't think we can afford to turn up our nose at anyone, could end up being useful. Tom Lowery is probably a better eligible prospect

Tom Lowery is probably a better eligible prospect Absolutely, keep the door open and monitor progress but the likelihood is this guy has got no chance of winning an international cap if only because of his age vs his achievement so far. If Hughes can play regularly for Preston and not get a look in then you would think the same would be applicable here, especially as his career history to date would suggest there is no latent top level talent waiting to be unleashed. He looks on paper a jobbing lower league player who is approaching the twilight of his career so I’m not sure there is a comparison with Thomas and Kieffer had at least a sprinkling of championship level quality about his track record. I wouldn’t be putting any money on him ever even making a squad.

I think in this guy's case we can, we have about 5 or 6 players in front him who are all younger and playing at a higher level or, in Morrell's case for now, his level. Looking at his career and the style of player he is there's not much there to suggest he's another Kieffer or Sorba.

Interesting that the Villa manager has been the one to alert us of eligibility. Might be that the lad has been overlooked for England, and the manager is keen to get him international experience so he's agreed to say something about it to the press. As he said, I'm sure we will be on the phone

He’s a 2001, so u21s or nothing for him. Fuck it, if confirmed call him up and see if he accepts. Seems highly-rated enough. I’m sure Bodin will find an excuse not to though!
I’m sure like Sorba there’ll be a time-lag in getting all the paperwork together having said that. That in itself needs the player’s consent I imagine though!

No wonder DS went quite. I think it was Archer, and not the young defender at Brighton.

How is he gonna get into our U21s?
We obviously have so many amazing attacking options - he will have to join Bodin's que!
