Future England players?

Until there is a major competition, then it’s back to the norm.

The 5 centre backs in the squad have 27 caps combined...Stones has 22 of those which tells me things are afoot.

Also, he's come from u21s and gradually testing them in the full squad...I think Cook is a certainty to be on the plane.

We’ll see Zat, there has been plenty of times though over the years where you think an England manager is seeing sense and going with some of the younger players in friendlies, only to revert back to the norm when we begin playing in a competition.

Agreed. Though I think there are a couple of interesting elements here;

1 -- Hart is finished...meaning we need either Pickford or Butland to play.
2 -- Terry and Cahill are no longer a partnership at Chelsea, Smalling and Jones have been ushered out by Mourinho and Dier is in/out at Spurs...so there will be changes at centre back.
3 -- The Dele Alli fanfare last season is now well and truly over, Wilshere is mostly crocked and were seeing Cook and Livermore come into the squad--showing the lack of depth...not to mention Barkley seems in dire straits.
4 -- The England u20s won the cup and (at least at our club) they are now seeing games in the league + Cook and others are on Southgates radar
5 -- Southgate worked with the u21s and will have been watching the u20s to see who to bring up before he was promoted himself

Following the above, I think in fact after this world cup, providing players at u21 level are seeing games in the premier league...we could see an overhaul.

None of our youth player are at the standard and never will be

Massively overrated by some of our fanbase

..let’s not forget a lot depends on who you play for.

England are so poor I can see every single one getting caps. Maybe Pickford, Davies, and DCL have the best chance of ten plus. But Lookman and Dowell could easily eventually with the lack of left siders around

Lookman always looks top notch for England youth...

 

[kenada_blue]

None of them.

I hope they all have Nigerian or Ivory Coast heritage and play for them where they'll be respected.

Our young players will always be overshadowed by someone at a top 6 club in the fa’s and Media’s eyes.

 

[Nymzee]

None.

Think probably only Lookman. Holgate maybe but he would have quite a bit of competition.
