Otis don't you rate Wilshere,Stones,and Sturridge is young isn't he ?Nope. Course not.
Don't get this 'all these talented youngsters' the press and pundits are going on about. What ALL talented youngsters? Had we had a teamfull I would of course be optimistic, but when you look back to 2006 (Beckham, Rooney, Ferdinand, Neville, Ashley Cole, Owen, Lampard, Terry, Gerrard, Sol Campbell etc.) we had quite a number of very talented players.
Okay, so now we have Barclay and Sterling and maybe Ox and Shaw, but then who? We have a few, but only a few. 3 or 4 very good players isn't going to do it for us.
Think we need to find a few more gems before we start bleating about potentially winning anything at all!
I do rate Wilshere.
Jury still out on him at international level though. I really like him as a player, but he has been a bit headless chicken at times for England and lost the ball in key areas.
Sturridge I like, but while he will score I don't feel he is the natural finisher we need. Much more likely to get special strikes and wonder goals than the bread and butter poacher types. Worst fault for me is that he often wants that extra touch with the ball, rather than having a natural goal scorer's instinct to hit it first time.
I haven't seen enough of Stones to comment.
We desperately need quality defenders and a few of them at that!
Your spot on about defenders as they seem a bit thin on the ground.We may have quality coming through but sadly not at the back.I do rate Wilshere.

I'd love to see Hoddle back Involved with England,I don't think as manager as the media and his relationship with them would soon resurface .Cautious has summed up England for years in tournaments.
Always seem reluctant to give it a go. Seems like we are scared to lose and concentrating on that rather than striving to win.
Felt we showed too much respect to Italy and Pirlo the other night. Almost as if we just accepted his genius and did nothing to counter that at all.
When he was a kid Wilshere was described as a great dribbler
