depending on... IF (big if) the current 2002 U21 players make it through to the play offs, you can see 2004+ players being brought in asap in the U21 camps etc
current 2006+ U19s have a uefa comp next month as well

I would cap him in a senior competitive match asap. Just read a report that Italian officials have been to Manchester under age games to check him out. Then he goes and scores in both games away to Italy. Alarm bells should be ringing now. We don’t need another Kevin Sheedy(Builth Wells born) or the rugby farce with Feyi Waboso choosing England.
Qualifies through Italian grandfather.

Well if its just one grandparent then you would assume he'd stay with Wales, especially if he does not speak Italian?
Think I remember reading on here someone posting that he is a very passionate Welshman!
Italy is a big nation and there would be far more competition for a spot and senior level whereas he would get chances to get into the senior Wales squad in the next couple of years - he only has to look at Koumas to see that.
Also helps when your international team is doing so well.
Hopefully he tells them to do one if approached!

He's a Cardiff boy, we should have more faith in ourselves rather than demanding caps immediately
If he picks Italy over us, the that's his decision

NI might have lost the Catholic lad at Liverpool Bradley to Rep Ire if they hadn’t capped him early. Italian officials have been over to watch him. He’s 18 or 19 so it’s not so obvious like Wilson in Belgium. I can’t see him going to Italy but….. |

There was no chance Bale was playing for England, he'd also broken into the Southampton first team by the time of his first cap Conor Bradley was deeply involved with the Northern Ireland setup for years before ROI had even heard of him. Similar to us with Biancheri, we need to show more faith in ourselves I'd be happy to call up Biancheri if he's good enough now and can have an impact, but calling him up just to cap him is incredibly small time and not a good look. Makes us look insecure and probably more off-putting to others |

Calling up Biancheri would be desperate and illogical because a) he hasn’t played any senior football yet and I don’t think he’s even close (I don’t think he’s trained at all with the seniors even), so he’s clearly not ready and b) it wouldn’t even tie him down - he needs four caps for that if I remember correctly

Harry Wilson was never going to play for England, I don't think there was any credible information that the FA were even interested. Neco possibly?
As for Bianchieri he's still only in the Man U Under-18 team. It would be ridiculous to call him up for the seniors already. Italy seems pretty unlikely....though he was Christened with an Italian name too!

Anyone know why he’s still playing u19s for Man U if that level’s too easy for him?

Hopefully he can get a loan move, he's 18 now so probably the right time
Always feel like United have done a better job of sorting loans for players than the likes of Liverpool, but I may be making that up
