I reckon the youngsters will play against Boreham Wood and the rest of the team will go on tour.

Signed 16 year old Sam Greenwood,
https://talksport.com/football/3982...d-signing-sunderland-wonderkid-sam-greenwood/
"
United were known admirers of the striker, who grabbed six goals and six assists for Sunderland’s Under-18s last season.
However, Greenwood has instead signed a scholarship contract with the Gunners and will agree professional terms when he turns 17 in January.
He said: “Today is the start of a new chapter in my life signing for Arsenal and I can’t wait to get started, I’m looking forward to the challenges ahead.

“Leaving Sunderland after 10 years, the club I love and support was a very hard decision.
“I have met some special people along the way, big thanks to Sunderland and all coaches past and present for everything they have done for me.
“I will never forget my roots.”

Only seen him once for England. Tall and technical, comfy with both feet and good link play.
Country: Scotland
He any good?
Yeah. Very talented attacker. I'm guessing he is the reason we have signed Sam Greenwood as we will be short upfront otherwise.
Shame he has left. Good player.
Country: Scotland
For Ireland and Celtic i am glad to hear it.
Seems like Dasilva is on the brink.
Well he actually played upfront as the main #9 for England during the Montagu tournament so hold that thought on Ireland.....
Country: Scotland
Ffs killed a dream I had for a whole minute

have we got some kind of arrangement with Rogers?
Things change - he may yet still declare for Ireland - he played for them also but he was picked for the Montagu Tournament regardless. All depends on who progresses at CF for England. He can also play wide to be fair.Ffs killed a dream I had for a whole minute
Not sure, but wouldn't mind if it was true. Rodgers is pretty good with developing players. Celtic seems like a decent location for loanees on the brink of first team football - which Dasilva already is IMO (arguably more ready than Willock).
Country: Scotland
No such arrangement. The first move is permanent and well the second one I'm not so sure on.
We should link up more with Celtic and to a lesser extent Rangers (Although not sure what they'd actually pay us). The experience they'd gain playing infront of 50k plus fans every other week with the expectation of winning every week is something that cannot be taught and is a necessary requirement to play for Arsenal.
Obviously as well Rodgers is a fantastic coach, basically helped to develop the current England team

I've become a huge fan of this player over the course of the last 6 months. Having got to watch him over 90 mins at least 10 times, he's impressed me more and more every single time. Excellent 1v1, beats players for fun and has a more than decent final ball. I can recall at least 2 matches where he created 5+ decent chances - all of which weren't converted annoyingly. He's absurdly fast over short and long distances and can dribble at pace. He just needs to develop a bit more of an eye for goal, which he has been doing given he scored a number of goals last season, including one against Chelsea in the Youth Cup final games.

Should never have got the yellow card earlier this summer that kept him out against Holland I think it was. Was so vital for England attack and was only getting better and better as the tournament went on.
Agreed, was never a caution. They moved Saka into RW instead I think, and I thought he was very impressive too - but the sheer explosiveness and regularity with which Amaechi was beating players and setting up dangerous opportunities meant it was a huge blow. He created so many chances for them.
I think he has a real opportunity this season to make a steep rise to first team football. He's physically adept and quick enough to trouble any full back. He's currently still training with the U23s though, but I'd imagine he has yet to earn his way ahead of the attackers we have. His advantage is that we have a complete dearth of his type of player. He has the air of a Bale or Robben, an explosive wide man with 1v1 skills. He has all the missing ingredients bar 1st team experience. I for one cannot wait until he gets that shot.
Smith-Rowe has next for now though in terms of the untested.
Country: Iceland
Its favoring our pool of very talented attackers that we haven't sign any attacker so far this summer.
Even Akpom is getting a look in!
So chance for everyone to work very hard and impress this season!
This was one game v Israel but 13 dribbles won is staggering. I wonder what the percentage of take on success was! 4 key passes too. Sancho levels there.
Well we're already pretty top heavy in terms of forwards and attacking midfielders but a real dearth of wide men. That IMO is how Akpom, Nelson, Nketiah, Smith-Rowe and Amaechi can get in.
Does Zelalem have a better time now that Vlad the impaler is gone?

Could someone update me on what happened with Crowley, why'd we let him go?
I had no idea until today, what a shame.
