As ever with our youngsters he comes over well. I believe they are wrong though regarding winning PL2 giving entry into the UEFA Youth Champions League. That is , or has been , an U19s competition played between the same teams in the Champions League, hence a poor Leicester youth team played this year. Unless of course there is a new competition for U23s.

If it is the same as this year we wouldn't get an automatic place but would go into the Domestic Champions Path which means 2 rounds of qualifiers to win a place in the group stage.

Ok you may be right but isn't that the criteria for the u18s League? I don't recall Man Utd who won last year's u21 playing in any specific competition as a result of winning.

...smashing player. I know he was a favourite of Martinez but I'm not sure if that's the case with Koeman. Regardless of whether he has a future at Everton you have to think there's a future in the game for him. Time will tell.

I am sure it's changed pal, I'm not 100% certain but something has definitely changed.

From what I can see Dowell has not travelled with the first team to the sun, was not sent out on loan...he seems to drifting a bit at present.

Oh yeah, think you may be correct, though most of the things I read on it are contradicted by the next thing I read!

I think you're right mate. The Uefa competition is definitely for the younger lads so can't see the under 23 league being a qualifying route for it. The only thing I can think of is the Premier League International cup, but we have played in for the last couple of seasons.
