Meenzer 14060 Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 At least after the 5-1 against Germany you could point at the young players coming into the England setup and genuinely believe they might coalesce into a "golden generation", even if it wasn't to be. With the possible exception of Wilshere, who on earth is there in the 17-22 category now that might reasonably be the heart and soul of the team in nine years' time?

I reckon Phil Jones is in that category maybe Oxlade Chamberlain struggling for any after that though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trophyshy 6434 Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 22 is in Qatar isn't it? Not sure the Middle East will have recovered by then so Greg must be hoping we can stage it in radiation free Cornwall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure the relevance of the 17-22 year old age bracket for 9 years from now. Most of the players who will be having an impact in 9 years are in 14-17 age bracket i.e. unknowns.

Most of the players who will be having an impact in 9 years are in 14-17 age bracket i.e. unknowns. Just because that was the age range that was being hailed the last time we had a "golden generation" hype, around 2001, and you tend to need a core of mature and internationally experienced pros to achieve on the global stage. Obviously future world-beaters like Glen Johnson, Aaron Lennon and James Milner were in the younger category at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always have 17-22 year old footballers on my mind. It's a triumph of sheer will and determination that I'm able to post about anything else.

scotty84 0 Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 What do people think of Ross Barclay? if he improves at his current rate then he could well be a future candidate for a regular start. I caught the long highlights of the first game of the season for everton against norwich, very powerful player considering his age and a great shot on him. Thing is, there has been so many promising youngsters in recent years who have just drifted off the radar after a year or so, hopefully martinez progresses him well and he can be a mainstay in the England setup in a few years time.

CleeToonFan 1 Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Barkley looks good IMO, but he's hardly the man to take the England team a step up. I know it's unfair to compare to Spain... But I'm gonna do it anyway. They have Isco who's one year older than Barkley and starting for Real Madrid and older but still young lads like Herrera coming through. We can't compare.
