Better future than we first thought?

It should be the best England team (technically-speaking) in decades if most of these guys develop successfully. I still see a lack of real flair though.

=========================
Pretty depressing stuff.

If Fergie's still at United then forget relying on those United players. They will have a "calf strain" on international match day and be back playing for United's next match. Not good for England.

not just united players do this.

Baines is probably a bit old to be "one for the future" at 27. I would go with Gibbs instead (dont forget hes only 22).

No offence guys as a Scotsman, I would fancy Scotlands chances against that team and I think most nations would!

I really think it is going to be a bleak international wilderness for England for the next decade or so unless rules are brought into make EPL teams play at least 4 English men in there starting eleven!
