TAFT in England U19 Squad

[Kermorgant]

This is the England Team Playing The U19 Euros in Switzerland this month:

GOALKEEPERS

Jack Butland (Birmingham City), Sam Johnstone (Manchester United)

DEFENDERS

John Flanagan (Liverpool), James Hurst (West Bromwich Albion), Jack Robinson (Liverpool), George Taft (Leicester City), Tom Thorpe (Manchester United), Andre Wisdom (Liverpool)

MIDFIELDERS

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (Southampton), Conor Coady (Liverpool), Gary Gardner (Aston Villa), Harry Kane (Tottenham Hotspur), Josh McEachran (Chelsea), Jordan Obita (Reading), Jonjo Shelvey (Liverpool)

FORWARDS

Tom Ince (Liverpool), Michael Ngoo (Liverpool), Connor Wickham (Ipswich Town)

Look at some of these players:

Flanagan, Shelvey and Robinson playing in liverpool first team

Chamberlain linked with premier league teams

McEachran playing in champions league for chelsea

Wickham playing week in week out

How is this Taft getting in this team but not even getting a look in from sven.

Maybe because he's only about 17, and being given a 2 year contract at that age by Sven I wouldn't call 'not even getting a look in'

17 years old and in the England U19s seems to answer that

[Kermorgant]

Sounds promising Then

[SOCCERROO FOX]

Hope he does well and is able to get a loan move next season to a league 1 or 2 team to aide his development

[Haydos]

He was mentioned alongside Schlupp by Rudkin I think when talking about the Young player of the year award. Had a great season by the sounds of it, topped off with this.

You would probably know better than us

Yeah he is in an age above, so to speak.

He scored for the U18s on his first call up.

Got a massive throw hasn't he? Or am I just imagining things.

On Fifa, Robbie Neilson can throw it from his own goal line to the halfway line

Sorry, don't know where that came from..

[Ric Flair]

Taft is tipped to be capable of making it, hopefully he'll be included in pre-season and if he impresses then he'll get a few chances this coming season.

Very good app, he scored a few friendly's back to if i remember correctly!

[Aidy3]

I seen him play a few years back,

hes a tall, strong lad, will win nearly every header, good going forward and strong. has a huge tackle on him aswell! would love to see him playing for us. hes a great prospect!

Would you say he's the longest in the shower?

You should ask Mattock's sister that

[David Guiza]

If he ever makes it big my claim to fame will be tackling him in a college training game. Also beat Liam Moore at cuppies when I was about 15. And there's two more pieces of irrelevant info to add to this topic.

One of my friends played with him at Derby (didn't know he played for them untill he told me) and he said he is a good player. He must be, hence the call up.

Good luck to him.
