I'm puzzled by these 2, where do they actually play?

You mean as in 'where are they' now??

or their respective positions?

 

[dips66]

As we signed these 2 just after the U17 world cup,
this means that they were under the ages of 18, and therefore are we open to the same problems as Barca? (ie under 18 players not from Europe)

Or are they continuing to play for their old academies (or Right to Dream even?)) until they reach the age of 18?

Because I have not seen them mentioned in any appearances for the U18's as of yet

Ahh, as in which country? They're not in Manchester I presume since I've seen no mention of them. Wouldn't whichever club they're at have to give permission for them to go to an international call up?

That's why they've not been playing for us yet, I assume. Once they turn 18 they can come over, but before that they can only agree pre contract agreements (I think)
