Dane Scarlett

[Gutter Boy]

Hopefully he gets a game but no idea how he is getting called up still

The international setup seems to work more like a club academy - players just progress through the ages groups. Later developers or those outside the system seem to struggle to dislodge an established group.

Lankshear only got his first call-up into the England system a year ago. I know he's an age group younger than Scarlett, but he's clearly well ahead of him in our pecking order, and that's not being reflected.

The assist was exceptional, dancing down the left and firing it onto the foot of Hutchison.

I went to the game, he looked lively and made some good runs. Omari Hutchinson looks a real talent.

I can never really tell who is ahead of who with these kids. You could easily argue that if Scarlett had played a full season in the 21's last season and Lankshear was away on loan that we would think the other way round. It definitely feels that Lankshear's stock is higher right now.

Scarlett had 12 goals in 14 games at U19 level for England. He got another 9 in 20 games at U20 and he's got 2 in 3 at U21's. He actually has 25 junior international goals which is very credible.

Lankshear who is 11 months younger has only been called up in the U19/20 age groups 7 times but has 5 goals. His stock is high because he played in PL2 and smashed the goals in at that level.

Obviously, we're all desperate to find the next Kane.
