U21 Euro Previews




This past week has shown the ever-increasing trend of paying big money for young talent. So competitions such as the U21 Euros, which start this weekend, have become more and more important to the top clubs. Understandably so, as there will be a fair amount of quality on show. Dane Christian Eriksson will go into the tournament as the star player - he plays for Ajax, has has seven senior caps, and is the target of most top teams. But Spain will start as favourites with a squad boasting Mata, Krkic, Capel and Jeffren. ManU fans could see the future defensive mainstay of their team if Alex Ferguson signs David De Gea, as Phil Jones and Chris Smalling will be lining up for England. Personally, I think Dean Sturridge will do some damage.
