our team in the next 5 years?

[Blitzer2011]

With our teams core basically in their 30s (Howard,jags,Distin,Baines,ossie,pienaar) it's going to be strange seeing our team without any of them in the line ups, but who do we think can really make the step up from our academy? open debate for a boring Friday morning

 

[Big Fat Sam]

Osman will still be in centre midfield, on a long contract.

 

[jrj]

Theirs a new young core being built by bobby..
Stones,Mccarthy,Barkley

 

[Blitzer2011]

Well the future certainly is blue then isn't it! I'm hoping to see green,grant,ledson,duffus x2 and that highly rated Irish lad

 

[Blitzer2011]

But I think I was getting at what people in our youth set up have got the ability to possibly be 1st choicers

 

[Eggs]

...yep, Stones, Barkley and McCarthy could be the backbone. There are extremely favourable reports about the boy on loan at Wigan and from what folk say he must have a really good chance of being a regular. If another couple come through that would be a good ratio but who they are is a bit of guesswork at the moment.

 

[WarwickHunt]

Stones will be an established CB in 5 years
Barkley will be tearing teams apart single handedly
George Green will be a first team player
James McCarthy will be the new Roy Keane
Joel Robles will be first choice
Seamus Coleman will still be ace

Not sure on who our CF will be

Aiden McGeady still playing left wing?

Mirallas still on the right?

Who knows?

 

[Blue Cheese]

it will be a gradual evolution and phasing out of the old guard it always is, players getting old is not a new phenomenon and we will buy players as well as hopefully some youngsters making it.

There might even be a 13yr(now) old kid we haven't heard of tearing the place up in 5 years.

 

[Shaun4658]

Teams evolve mate. They won't all go at the sake time. You can say this about most clubs/teams. We have a decent "new" core in the first team already.

Apparently Ledson is gonna be ace.

 

[neil999]

personally think we need a new keeper, howards distribution isnt good enough and hes getting on, dunno if joel will be the right chap

 

[Blitzer2011]

You mean tyias Browning, heard alot of good things about him recently but still think he's a rb imo. I don't see mirallas at the club in 5 years either tbh. I'm hoping lundstraum and Duffy come good

 

[Blitzer2011]

Yeah not to convinced about robley but can't knock howard

Hear Phil Nevill's lad is playing just like his dad did in MF

 

[Ashtonian]

If roberto is still in charge the team will be;

Robles

Oviedo/Robertson Stones some dutch lad Hibbert

Spanish Winger Lumstrum Kennedy

Green Barkely

Big strong centre forward who isnt lukaku or Kenwin Jones
