Given the Spurs Academy's reputation over the last few years I've been surprised that there are not more of the Spurs youngsters in the England squads generally.
So yes I'd have assumed that the England u18's would include CCV, Maghoma and KWP from the defence and perhaps Loft as striker - they've got as far as KWP but seemingly either been blind or been rejected by the others.
Whilst the FA can reasonably have a go at the PL for the number of overseas players on the PL, the FA do not help themselves by the selection of players in the youth squads (which is a training ground and giving experience leading up to the main England squad).
I know it is a tall task, but is there anyway we could compile the national team set-ups our Academy youngsters have been involved in to this point? I suppose I can go back through here and gather some info just failing to remember many except the ones on the fringe of the first team right now such as the u-21s in Kane, Pritchard, Dier, and Carroll...
