England team in 5 years.

A black man in goal? Positive discrimination gone wrong .

If he wears trousers up to his chest and a cap then maybe

Berahino, Hughes, Blackett, Ibe, perhaps too...

I wish I had a tenner for every prediction of what young English players can achieve in 5 years...Roll on 5 years later and England are always still crap.

If a young Owen, Beckham, Sholes, Gerrard, Neville, etc. never managed to go on and win anything then I see no reason to get excited about this lot tbh.

By Wilson, do you mean James Wilson who has scored one senior goal in a meaningless game? Don't get me wrong, I hope he comes good but I think you are putting the cart miles before the horse...Welbeck and Sturridge would be safer bets I would think.

So I'm assuming Woy is still in charge implementing the same old 4-4-2

----------------Rooney (natural progression)

Janujaz---Rooney---Jones---Shaw

-----Jones----Rooney------

Rooney--------Carrick--------Janujaz

---------------Rooney-----------

Swap carrick, Jones and Shaw for rooney and the WC is coming home. The more rooney you have, the more rooney you get.😉

Sterling got into double figures for goals last season, for his age his finishing is pretty impressive. He has it in him to find a pass as well. He's no playmaker but certainly in that role as a kind of second striker (IMO his best role) he is capable of creating throug pretty technical passes as well, evidence:
