TheBiggun Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 6 hours ago, aaid said: As regards playing for the A squad while still eligible for the U21s, or indeed any age group, Belgium have a rule that when a player steps up an age level, say a U16 player plays for the U18s, then they don't step back down again. They reckon this is one of the factors that's seen them bring through a lot of talent in recent years. I think it's something we should adopt. I actually quite like this idea assuming that there's a lot of competition for spaces in the youth teams... What's the current situation with our youth teams? Is there a lot of competition/rotation or do we pretty much have squads that pick themselves? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the only limitation I'm aware of (aside from national eligibility). So as an extreme example, we could cap Karamoko Dembele in out next senior match, then he could go play for the under 16s. He's English is he not? I get we could cap him because he went to school here but would that not break the gentlemen's agreement we have with the English, Irish and Welsh?
