Craig McCulloch Burley Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Of the five young lads playing in the 2nd tier of continental European leagues this season, who would you bet a pint on being the first to get a call up to the senior squad; Harper, Henderson, Bates, Gauld, or St Clair? more anyone should first call up senior squad?

HuttonDressedAsLahm Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Harper. He’s an attacker playing every game for a team looking like they could walk the league. Competition in midfield is strong, and for once we actually have a few options at centre half. If Bates keeps his place I’d guess he has a decent shout of making it sooner rather than later.

Quentin Taranbino Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 You also have 2 players in Ligue 1 First teams that are eligible. Bobby Allain is sub keeper for Dijon John Bostock is a regular for Toulouse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From a quick google he went from England U19 to Trinidad and Tobago. I'm not sure if you're allowed to switch again even if he didn't play for T&T. He can't according to the T&T website anyway.

Gordopolis Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Do we have any players i the Spanish, German, French or Italian top flights? I'm guessing not but hadnt really considered it until I read this thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJ Fae The YY Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 You would like to think all of them will be involved in the squad at some point. Bates seems a bit iffy though and have never seen Harvey play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forameus Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Again off topic, but I'd almost rather they went completely ridiculous in naming the leagues, rather than just go "och, just copy England, pal". Name them after 90s era Gladiators (I wouldn't mind Thistle's fucking mediocrity if we were going to stay in the Hunter and Wolf League) for all I care, just make them different.

The NHL had its divisions named after old owners and coaches (Adams, Norris, Patrick, Smythe) for a long time. Unfortunately they ditched that and they now have very boring geographic names, like the other North American sports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Tap league" "Dece league" "Seaside league" "Diddy league" and, of course, the non league starts at the "Teuchter league/Jakie league" split. Further down the pyramid we find the "Fermer league" and "Salt and sauce league, ken?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAFC. Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Harper must be in for a shout if he keeps playing well for Malaga. Liam Henderson and David Bates should be considered if they are also playing well and getting their respective teams at the top of the league.
