Breaking News Yearwood called up for England U18's

[Uncle Leo]

The FA have just tweeted about the squad and still no mention of Dru.

 

[Southminster Shrimper]

Good stuff and well deserved (if true) Keep on adding the ££ too!

 

[Zeuss]

Probably been in an obscure draw for some time since it was needed at B&L.

Some of the draws at B and L aren’t too obscure...1-1,2-2,3-3 etc,the obscure 0-0 s were more likely under Brown.

Not another dodgy article from the Echo?

Excellent news, and thoroughly well deserved. Of even more credit to Dru is that all other midfielders named (apart from one) are from Premier League clubs, and the other is from the Championship. Great indication of his quality to fit into that group, and surely indicative of the level he is clearly capable of playing at later in his career, hopefully for us :winking:

Well done Dru - excellent news for the lad. Top stuff.

This could be a very interesting time for him. Some are predicting great things for him and I really hope he comes through each successive step up (e.g. being in the starting XI come August, being part of a promotion chasing team etcetera) with flying colours ..............

............ but let's just remember the lower leagues have quite a few players who have not quite managed to hit the heights that they hoped for. Our very own Dave Martin (who was on the pitch before the game against M.K.) was England under 21 captain I think - and he spent most of his years in Division 3 & 4 (and I loved watching him getting stuck in).


It's not easy. It's not plain sailing and it takes more than just having talent. Fingers crossed for him. :thumbsup:

Is it possible he's been asked to be a reserve on standby in case of any dropouts?

The thing with Dru is we never know when he is going to drop off the radar. We could sign some real League 1 quality midfielders like Alan Mccormack or Sam Mantom and then Dru won't get a game and stagnate. The fact is he hasn't scored a goal and at times looks too lightweight. I'd prefer to see Ba given game up top - the motor on the lad is unreal and looks quality in U23 games in which Dru never shined - than persist with Dru. Sure he looks good on occasion but overall hes out muscled, out gunned and out of place. I say we take money now if its offered. 250K plus sell on fee would do it in my book

Ok here's a comment from someone following the squad re Dru involvement

It could easily just be an oversight from whoever listed the squad for the FA on their website. Or he might be going with them on standby, as there are usually withdrawals. Nmecha for example is with Germany.

Nmecha being called up is odd, did the FA not bother to check if he was with the German U18s squad before naming this, or are they hoping he'll switch allegences in the next couple of days?

If he is, I would suggest Dru gets a new agent.

[Rattus Norvegicus]

W.U.M. of the year.

We're only in May so there's plenty of time left for some seriously excellent posts to appear.

So he hasn't scored a goal but has plenty of assists. He is hardly lightweight. Strong as an Ox and isn't easily pushed off the ball. By far our best midfielder and is just going to get better and better

And the club have obligingly put together a video of the Dru best bits to prove Webby's point.

 

[buffalowolf]

Whoever said hes lightweight and easily pushed off the ball must be blind.Hes a talent , Ba will be also .
