Can anyone tell me how tall he is, as from what I have seen he is physically built, but does not come across as tall for a CB, having said that from everything I've read and seen he has a good leap on him,
most cbs have an obvious preference for left or right side, this kid, which foot?
perhaps swindon or even brentford next season?

From all the descriptions you and others make, do we have a new Ledley in the making?

Don't disagree but it does seem that the home of football still has some allure. Sven Goran Erickson and Fabio Capello both saw England as the pinnacle job and everyone wants to beat England so there is something there. CCV's mother is English of course. All his early football has been in England.
We will see.
SVG and Capello were more interested in the salary which was the highest paid in the world for a national team manager until Capello went to Russia.
No, he hasn't.
He's been better than senior players with international experience (Kaboul, Chiriches, Walker) all have been this season.
Talking about a youth player with no senior experience whatsoever as being someone who we should've turned to before him is frankly laughable.
They were hardly going to speak at their first press conference and tell the media that they are here for the money.Don't think so. They were quoted as saying that coaching England is the holy grail of football.

If Capello loved the challenge of managing England so much, why did he give up his £4 million a year salary to manage Russia for £7 million a year?

@HotspurFC1950 how do you know so much about ccv yet the other day you were saying you don't get to see the games and asking what bentaleb's preferred foot is? not questioning you by the way, just curious.
Oh I see your glass is half empty. Well mine is half full and I do not agree with your un-provable stance.
No the facts speak for themselves. Capello goes where the money is.
The prestige of managing England is somewhat overated. Anyway I won't say anymore about them on this thread which is about CCV.
He was born in England. His father was a basketball player who went to the USA.
Maybe he could still switch to England via the second chance option ?
He still can as of now, but judging from his quotes it does seem as if he's pretty intent to play for the US. Getting to these kids early makes a big difference, and the US got to him at a young age to get him in with his age bracket and the coaches.
While there are many of these players who have American fathers but those fathers return to the US and the kid stays in Europe, CCV's case is also unusual in that he has maintained a very close relationship with his father. His father has actively been involved in his upbringing, actively been involved in his football pursuit, makes trips to England, and CCV makes annual trips to the US to visit him. Contrast that with Jeremy Toljan, a German RB whose American serviceman father left Germany at a young age and is even now deceased, when Klinsmann called him to ask if he was interested in playing for the US, he simply said "nope" and that was the end of the conversation.
With England, there are also quite a few talents near to his age, but with the US there's a very good chance he's at least in the squad for Russia 2018. So there is still a chance, but I doubt it. The most significant factors would seem to suggest him remaining with the US.

Having seen the way that the USA performed in the world cup, in comparison to England, it's no bad thing his playing for them. The USA are, imo, definitely a national side with a very big future. Which is good news if players like Yedlin and Vickers play.
