479Villan Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 U21, where Jacob Ramsey's foot went to die. Thanks, but no thanks. Time for Morgzzz to develop an odd niggle in his hammy. Something only solved by Portuguese sun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should block both call ups, don’t think the players would mind either. Waste of time, don’t take the risk on injury either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomaszk Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 Emery's on this call up is the angriest I think I've seen him as Villa boss. Good. It's a joke. Hope he continues to call out the FA when they do stupid things. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyVillans Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 Emery got ramsey injury flashbacks. Rogers just came off a game where he sat partey and rice on their asses a couple times. Definitely shouldnt be playing U21s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delphinho123 Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 Right now, I’d hazard a guess that he’s playing at the same level as a Palmer, Saka, Gordon etc. maybe even higher tbh. It’s embarrassing he hasn’t been selected for the first team and even more embarrassing he’s in the U21’s. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 Strange comments from Emery truth be told, Rogers isn't a Bellingham level talent that's already proven to be far too good for U21 international football, he's only played two games and was a late comer to that level, he's only played around nine games worth of Premier League football, he's far less proven than a lot of other players in the squad, and in pretty much every previous squad, they always pick the best young talents, unless they happen to have been selected for the senior team, if they didn't do that then there wouldn't be any point in having an England U21 team I can also understand it from Emery's point of view, if Rogers gets injured that leaves us in a precarious position, but he knows how these things work, as above it's the same for all the top young talents, it's just a part of football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 Good to see Emery have a rant. We don't have the squad strength of other clubs and if Rogers gets injured our attack is badly compromised as Buendia is nothing like Rogers, has no pace, no strength, doesn't carry ball forward and take on players. I agree U21s is not for regular first team players of a CL PL Squad and they shouldn't be picked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many u21 caps did Mainoo get? None. If we're United, Rogers doesn't get called up to the u21s. It's not strange from Emery at all IMO. It's a bollocks call-up. 10 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 Mainoo was a completely different situation to Rogers and any other player Rogers' age, he got his call up at such a young age and before had played for the U21s because he was deemed as a very high potential academy player, he was in there as a developmental thing, in other words he's seen as something close to a generational talent, he wasn't in there just because he was a Manchester United player, and they were kind of proven right to rate him so highly, considering he was one of England's best players at the Euros, another factor in Mainoo's call-up was his dual nationality, Ghana were going to try and call him up, after losing Musiala and Olise and others England weren't going to allow that to happen Also I'm pretty sure Mason Greenwood was getting call-ups to England U21s whilst he was starring for Manchster United Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villa87 Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 Issue is, if he pulls out of the squad now after these comments, the FA might make a point and not select hi for the first team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is the thing - we can’t just blame “the FA” as we often do for stupid decisions like this because as you’ve said yourself, the Dutch for example have picked Maatsen who was in the CL final. It either needs a blanket rule for all countries (and you’ve said “FAs” not “FA” so I think you’re saying this same point!) or I get why the English FA think they need to pick the best players available if other countries are. We all know there’s too much football and this seems like a place where it isn’t going to hit media rights etc, so I’m surprised FIFA have stuck to their guns on it for so long really. Well, not really, because it’s FIFA… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh definitely, if he wants to play for England any time soon he definitely needs to go and do well for the U21s. Unfortunately! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post mikeyp102 Posted August 31 Popular Post Share Posted August 31 Irrelevant of whether he is too good or not for U21s, he is 22 and was before the season started so shouldn’t be in anyway. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
