England's best youngsters?

[jimijazz83]

Who do you think will be an England star of the future? I don't know youngsters for all clubs in England, so any suggestions are welcome.

[bantampride]

I reckon your own JJ will breakthru to the first team in the next world cup. I rate Dawson at forest as well - big strong defender. He will come thru too.

[PicturePerfect]

I've been really interested in Bentley at Arsenal. Superb lad and, ideally, he should play at least once for the Gunners this season.

Please Arsene.

[rebusrahman]

I would like to see that Asian guy, Harpal Singh(?), break into the Leeds team and do well.

[loz]

Rohan Ricketts

[cristianoronaldo7]

i'd say pennant or carlton cole? if cristiano ronaldo was english i'd say him

[nath_scfc]

Micheal Dawson is a cracking player but everyones forgot about Defoe! Johnson(chelsea), Leon Osman(everton) Liam Ridgewell (villa), Jamal Campbell-Ryce (charlton), Joey Barton (man city) and Chopra (Newcastle) all have the potential to be internationals at the highest level and have shown their potential

[PicturePerfect]

Ryan Garry and John Halls are doing well.

[elliottume]

Danny Coles and Matty Hill of Bristol City. I've seen them in action quite a lot, and they're two very good central defenders. They could be snapped up by a big team soon! :)

[Neo1]

I agree with cristianoronaldo7, i'd choose cole. But if cheese played football i'd choose that.

[study20]

Rooney wud be the certain 1 but since he already plays for Engalnd i wud say Dawson(Forset), Barton (City) and Chopra (Toon).

I wud also like to see Woodgate get a chance in the England starting 11 when he is fit again

[mutu]

sean wright phillips, people forget hes still only young

hes gonna be a real star if city do well, or he moves to a bigger club

joey barton against portugal u-21s played a blinder gettin a goal
hes a good hope for the future

chris kirkland will no doubt be england no 1 some day

david prutton also looks good

and everybody knows shola ameobi is yet to show what he can do fully

he'll be great

( oh yeah and rooney :) )

[Foreman]

Whittingham and Barry from Villa could solve Englands left side of midfield in years to come.

[coullj]

Kirkland

Johnson
King
Dawson
Taylor

Cole
Jenas
Lennon
Ricketts

Rooney
Defoe

[mutu]

Cole
Jenas
Lennon
Ricketts

carlton cole?

hes a forward

- how could i forget barry, he was in my fantasy league team last year

how many did he end up scoring?

[The Swede]

Jenas

[joeharper]

i wud hav to jermaine jenas aswell but i also think joe cole is a quality player

[coullj]

joe cole u moron

[Mick03]

michael darson

[Marshy]

Darren Bent :D

[Zizou_Zizi]

J. Cole
Jenas
Dyer
Richardson
Pennant

[jthk2004]

u guys seem to forget james milner... and graham stack had some good saves in the carling cup...

[Zizou_Zizi]

Oh ya ..
Meillor?

[jthk2004]

mellor started 16 games for west ham and only scored 2... that's good huh...

[iced_cube]

i didnt think jenas was THAT young?

[jthk2004]

he was 18 or 19 when he captained nottingham forest... so he was THAT young...

[ChelseaDave]

Glen Johnson is a good prospect.

[jthk2004]

why not anton ferdinand and nigel reo-coker?

[ryandunntv]

glen johnson? lol ha ha he's shite

micheal dawson

[LiamK]

Please, not Joe Cole, the kid has all the technical skills in the world, but hasn't got any understanding of the game at all to compliment his technical ability.

[speo5]

Glen johnson, Pennant or Defoe, but Johnson seems to have a bit of a diaplinary problem, but still is very good for his age.

[Zizou_Zizi]

Does he??

Defoe gets better chances for England now he's at Tottenham.

Pennant will return to Arsenal and rock!!!

[Fraz_Maitland]

Jobi Mcanuff
Lionel Morgan

Two promising north london lads pacey great skill will be stars. Morgans been injured for ages for wimbledon but was linked with spurs numerous times and i think mcanuff may have oved to west ham

[Zoidberg]

Sorry if I've gone over any but I couldn't be bothered reading all the posts ;)

Taylor (Newcastle)
Donnelly (Blackburn)
Bentley (Arsenal)
Eagles (Manure)
Downing (Middlesbrough)
Milner (Leeds)
Whittingham (Villa)
Taylor (Portsmouth)


All these should be pushing for an International call at one stage or another during their career. It seems a bit pointless putting people like Johnson/J. Cole/Jenas in here when they've already played for England...I think we can take people like them as granted when talking about the future.

[Fraz_Maitland]

Good call on the 2 taylors especially steven taylor the CB.

[jthk2004]

aaron lennon... anyone?

[matty hadley]

matt murray when he returns

[jthk2004]

even matt murray couldn't keep out those 3 arsenal goals...

[Zoidberg]

I don't have much hope for Lennon, he's too small to be a top player. Matt Murray is good but I don't think he's up to the standard of Kirkland or Robinson so will find it hard to get into the national side in the future. Will probably be fighting with Richard Wright to be 3rd choice.

[jthk2004]

jonathan stead? but how old is he?

[Zizou_Zizi]

Haven't heard of him before....

[jthk2004]

he scored against boro last saturday. just joined blackburn. boro fans were saying "jon who?"

[ryandunntv]

jon stead is quality, he's only 19 if im right. done better than "replacement" of some kind for the failed transfer of John McBride.

silly boro fans. they don't know him because there northerners

[Definitely Maybe]

u guys seem to forget james milner... and graham stack had some good saves in the carling cup...

Stack is a canny keeper, but he is Irish.


Agree with LiamK about Joe Cole as well. Loads of ability, but no end product.

Jenas is extremely overrated as well, and has had an absolutely abysmal season.

[Kirschenmann]

Johnny Knoxville. Or aint he english?

[sbfootie]

RONEY , Wes brown , defoe

[mutu]

who's roney? :confused:

Shaun W-P (cant be arsed) scores again for city today, he really should have played in one of our friendlies this year and sven has flopped big time, we'll be missing out if he doesn't make it to Portugal and if he's not ready by 2006 in Germany i'll be well pissed

[Definitely Maybe]

Shaun W-P (cant be arsed) scores again for city today, he really should have played in one of our friendlies this year and sven has flopped big time, we'll be missing out if he doesn't make it to Portugal and if he's not ready by 2006 in Germany i'll be well pissed

He was injured for Sweden though.

[rebusrahman]

W-P could be a great player for England but there is still time... just. I don't think he'll get in but a serious one for the future.

[sbfootie]

rooney

[L . F . C]

Defoe

[Figо10]

Yeah Defoe.

Especially at Tottenham :)

[rebusrahman]

Defoe is starting to rock for sure. They should try and get some partnerships for the future going. Could Crouch ever be a serious England strike partenr with Defoe? I have always favoured 2 up front. One to set up, hold up etc and the other a nippy, inventive, tricksy forward.

[Figо10]

Tricksy forwards are tricky :)

But I reckon Crouch can't be either... :(

[rebusrahman]

Just seems to be someone to cross to. Kinda like Jan Koller but with less ability if that's possible?

[Cannon ball]

Shaun wright philips he is class and james milner seems good

[Foxhound]

Defoe

[Mappa C]

Defoe, Wright Philips, Ronney and Milner are all good prospects for the future and all can get alot better than they are the moment. Out of the 4 I have mentioned I would say that Defoe is the best as he seems to be the most consistent performer.

[ashmufc]

ashmufc is quite a brilliant prospect and so is rooney his close mate and defoe

[Mappa C]

OK whatever you say ash http://www.phantasy-star-universe.com/forum/html/emoticons/wanker.gif

[thebigmacmoomin]

Glen Johnson
Jermaine Jenas
Jermaine Defoe
Wes Brown
Shaun Wright-Phillips
James Milner
Jon Stead
David Bentley

[Cannon ball]

Carlton Cole might not play for england cuz he can play for nigeria aswell and the super eagles want him. but hes played for england U21 so theres more chance of him playing for the england senior side.

[Teekay]

If Carlton Cole has played for England U21, I think Fifa rules say he can't play anywhere else.
Best young players:
Jenas
Rooney
Milner
Bentley

[Foxhound]

not in order:
rooney
jenas
milner
defoe
wright-phillips

[svendust]

Rooney
Pennant
Dean Bowditch
Wright-Phillips
Glen Johnson
ps is Ameiobe English, not that hes one of the most promosing but on CM4 he's English and on something else he's Nigerian, who's he gonna play for?

[Martinho_88]

Phil Jagielka (Sheff Utd)

[Martinho_88]

I thoguht Ameobi was English???

[svendust]

I thoguht Ameobi was English???

Thats what I thought but I either read somewhere or saw it somewhere that he's Nigerian even though I'm sure he's played for England U21 he could still change his mind and play for Nigeria, if he even is part Nigerian, like Fredi Kanoute :confused:

[JoeyM]

Has everyone skipped over Franny Jeffers?

[MattShez]

Wes Brown
Shaun Wright-Phillips
James Milner
Rooney
Chris Eagles (ManUtd) Played well in USA tour!

[JoeyM]

Keep an eye out for Ismael Yakubu as well.

[Gunplay]

ROONEY it's a no brainer.

[Jonny2J]

Ameobi was born in Nigeria but came over when he was 5 as his father had something to do with teaching, and if u can hear him talk u can tell he's a tru geordie though;)

[the_rat]

joleon lescott
michael dawson
matt murray

ameobi IS english

[Papa Lazarou]

Keiran Richardson: Im Waiting for Sir Alex to give him a proper chance and let him shine
also, is Wes Brown that Young?

[Cannon ball]

Ismael Yakubu, did'nt he used to play for man city? Justin Hoyte is a good youngster.

[svendust]

Ameobi was born in Nigeria but came over when he was 5 as his father had something to do with teaching, and if u can hear him talk u can tell he's a tru geordie though;)

But he's going to play for England and not Nigeria, right?

[Matthews]

Rooney, good player, but he is a nutter though ...

[Cannon ball]

Theres more chance of ameobi playing for england then nigeria. He was given the chance to play for nigeria but rejected it and they haven't asked him again.

[Jonny2J]

But he's going to play for England and not Nigeria, right?yeh if that swedish bastard will give him the chance he deserves

[svendust]

yeh if that swedish bastard will give him the chance he deserves

What about Bobby will he give him a chance this season, what with having Shearer, Bellamy and Kluivert already.

I'm sensing you're not an Eriksson fan, btw Svendust isn't a reference to Sven Goran Eriksson just incase you hate me aswell ;)

[JoeyM]

Ismael Yakubu, did'nt he used to play for man city? Justin Hoyte is a good youngster.

Ismael is an 18 year old player for Barnet, he just recently made the senior England National game XI.
