Ronaldo not one of the most naturally gifted around? The same guy that every United player told Ferguson to sign up after facing him; he was what, 17-18?
Err young (winger) Ronaldo was an excellent dribbler. Don't know what this level you're talking about is, but it must be something akin to godlike.
Dare I say it, England could be in great shape in 3 years or so once the current U17 team have developed, we can build them up around the experience of Harry Kane.
Most of our attacking players are right footed and prefer to cut in (none are 'proper' wingers). Mata's the notable exception (left footed) and he plays on the right.
That's not him.
Not sure if serious.. .
Reckon Portugal will make a strong play for him, so I don’t think it’s 100% certain he’ll play for England (although very likely given his youth career).
Agree. What are the chances that we end up with right footed players, all taking up the same space? We are lucky to have some gifted players, just wish some of them would be left footed and naturally play on the other side.
Clearly joking. He makes all the player threads so knows what Gomes looks like.
It isn't just the 17s, it is the whole group that won international tournaments this summer. I think England could field 2, possibly 3, different sides capable of winning the U19 Euros this summer.
I think he will play for England unless he can't get a look in.
If England don;t win or get to a final in 8 years times then it will be a generation wasted.
But has anyone called him a gem yet?
Aye, I admit there are a few others but that particular group at U17 level are the standouts.
I think all those names I mentioned deserve to be considered in the highest bracket of potential.
Aye; these aren't your flash in the pan developed-early-cos of pace merchant wingers.
He better play for England or else the FA may as well just go home.
Aye, far better decisions he makes than Sterling at the same age though need to see if he can make them in a 1st-team match regularly.
Was thinking about this earlier and how different it could have been to see Becks or Giggs coming through now, both could quite easily have ended up on the opposite side of the pitch that they made their name on, I'll bet Becks would have scored some absolute beauties with that right foot of his cutting in from the left.
Zidane was 6ft + just off my head pretty sure that ibrahimovic bloke and that pogba fella are tall too
ffsdoubly
Poor show indeed, wasn’t his first start though.
Yeah, I was disappointed he didn't come on instead of Lingard to play the final 10-15 minutes.
Pogba and Zlatan aren't two of the best players in football history.
