For the Under 20s there were only five European clubs that qualified. Of those there were Germany whose young talent is very rarely transferred abroad due to the German FA wanting to keep talent in house. Likewise Italy whose talent very rarely move on, not just from a young age but very insular much like our own players. France also have started retaining their players until a little bit older and when there value is at a premium. At present only 2 players of their squad play abroad, both of which are in Germany. Portuguese talent is hovered up by the main 2/3 clubs in the country:

Benfica - 8 players
Sporting CP - 5 players
Porto - 4 players

Really that leaves just the English side and as we all know our standards have been very low and with the level we were at CAT 3 we were never going to attract players that would be in this side. Hopefully that will change over the next 5 years.

U21s - Again we know we have not had a good scouting network abroad and if we did it wouldn't have been to identify young cheap talent. You need a decent structure in place first before moving to the ones for the future. When we do have a decent set up it will be for identifying players that can affect change now not in a few years time.

I don't know the point of your post but I would like to think if the question is asked in 4 yrs time that things may have moved on for us a little and we may be able to answer the question with 1 or 2.

Oh but maybe you do in which case this is even more attention seeking than I thought

How many Burnley or ex Burnley players have featured in the England senior squad in the last 5 years?

Due to it being a World cup it means that countries from all around the world are entered on a quota basis. Now other than Penny and Guerrero who have played for us I doubt we would really have a player from the South American contingent likewise all the other continents with the possible exception of New Zealand where we have had one or two players but after looking none at present in their squad. Which really just leaves the European sides.

The KBRFC bellend show.

That was your question.

Do you have to try to completely make a fool of yourself or does it come naturally?

KRBFC wrote:You are aware that it wasn't just England who attended the U20 WC and U21 Euros, right?
I asked if we had ANY players at either tournament, whether they played for Hong Kong, Venzeuela or San Marino it doesn't matter, the question was

"how many players did we have at the tournaments"

NOT

"how many English players did we have at the tournaments"

It really isn't hard to understand the difference between the two although I understand not everyone on here has the brain required so ill cut you some slack.

KRBFC wrote:I asked a pretty reasonable question...... I didnt watch either tournament, I dont know who qualified, im not sure how the question is deemed so controversial. Posters didnt understand the question, I never asked how many English players we had there.

dsr wrote:The answer was so obviously none. Nobody who reads this board or this website would have any doubt that we have no players currently involved in major international finals; because of course it would be widely publicised on here, both main board and messageboard, if we did. You read this board, you know how reliable and detailed is the information provided,therefore you knew before you asked how many players we had at these finals.

And if you already knew the answer, then your "question" was by way of making a point, not a request for information. QED.
