Most promising English players between 16-19?

[Modo]

Who do you think will make it and become part of the next generation star players?

Jack Wilshire - Pretty much a given.

Josh McEachran - Slowly making the grade at Chelsea.

Ross Barkley - Will become a great player for Everton.

Gary Gardner - Aston Villa, very impressed by him

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain - Already at Arsenal, pace, dribbling technique etc, he's got it all.

Raheem Sterling - Is about a year away from making his debut in the premier league.

Phil Jones - We were so close.

Wilshire and Henderson

You could pull up the £10m or whatever it was for Theo Walcott a few years back and everyone would be saying - pretty much a given. It's not, until they're pulling up trees regularly, nothing is. Shelvey could go on to be better than any of them, why aren't we giving Pacheco a chance? Doh.

On paper you'd have to say Wilshire, because he's the most established, he's also at one of the few big clubs who give youth a chance.

Pacheco was our best reserve player, and I still think he deserved a chance considering that we barely had any strikers in the Europa League last year.

Anyway, of course it's too early to tell but hey it's not about being right it's about who you think will become a star player like Gerrard, Rio, Lamps, Rooney, etc.

BTW Hendo is 21.

Yes, but once he was 19.

Oh, stupid me.

I think Henderson is a decent prospect. He has a lot of the basic skills and a decent attitude, as well as a lump of natural attacking talent. Did we need him now? No. Was he the answer to our RW spot? No. He's definitely a luxury signing and one we didn't need to make at this time, but I do think he 'll prove his worth in the long run.

Wilshire and Ramsay have already made it and are some of the Premierships best players already. I'm very, very envious of Arsenal having those two.
