Can any team field a better U25 team?

Genuine question..

-------------------------------Hart----------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------Vinny/Ned------Boyata/Boateng------------------
Richards---------------------------------------------Boateng/Kolarov
----------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------Vinny/Milner--------M.Johnson------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------
A.Johnson---------------------------------------------Milner/Weiss
----------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------Balotelli-----------Jo---------------------------


I think only Arsenal would rival us.
Tottenham only got Corluka, Bale, Huddlestone and Giovanni.
United got dinosaurs.
Chelsea got Sturridge.



How about another one..

Can any team field a better English team?

Ruining football we are ...

Kolarov isn't 25 until November, so you can still count him for a couple of months

Nimely is Liberian.

And is there some reason Arsenal can't field Walcott, Gibbs and Wilshere?

Head Coach Noel Blake sees Qualifiers as a chance for his squad to impress.

UEFA European U19 Championship
Elite Qualifying Round
26-31 May 2010
Kiev, Ukraine

By Nicholas Veevers

England U19 Head Coach Noel Blake meets up with his U19 squad on Thursday, as preparations begin for next week’s Elite Qualifying Round in Ukraine.

The Young Lions know that by finishing top of their group which contains Ukraine, Republic Of Ireland and Bosnia-Herzegovina, they will qualify for the European U19 Championship Finals, which are being held in France later this summer, for the third successive season.

Blake’s squad will spend the next few days training in Berkshire, before they travel to their Kiev base on Sunday to ready themselves for the opening game with Republic Of Ireland on Wednesday.

Blake has made three changes to his original 18-man squad. Manchester City striker Alex Nimely and Aston Villa defender Nathan Baker have both been withdrawn, to be replaced by Wycombe’s Matt Phillips and Celtic’s Josh Thompson respectively. Sunderland forward Ryan Noble has also been drafted in to replace West Ham’s Frank Nouble, who is now unavailable due to his involvement in Swindon Town’s Play-Off campaign.

Nimely did play and score for England U20..

And the reason I forgot the players you mentioned Slim, is because I had it at the back of my mind that they didnt name any English name in their 25 man squad.. so there you go.. 3 players

Nimely played for England U19's in the world cup when he was about 17 & was just about the best player (in a crap side ,unlike the other City players called up, who were the worst players in the piss poor team & embarrassing).

I think it would be good if they changed the format of he league cup for prem and chumpionship teams to under 25, it would bring new life to the least valued competition and also we'd piss it.

On 12 May 2008, Nimely rejected a call-up from Liberia for 2010 World Cup qualifiers and declared to the press that he chose to play for England, as his father is English[2] He was called up to the England U-20 for the 2009 U-20 World Cup. He scored his first goal in the final group stage match against Uzbekistan.

No but since when was having a lot of English players a point to brag about? The English national side is a joke in world football.
