The 'next England manager'

I've decided. I want Pearce. Next Euro he should ring the changes in. Drop Carragher, Ferdinand, SWP. Bring in the U21 squad. Groom them during the next Euro so they'll be a force in the next WC.

I worry that too many of the players in our squad are in their late 20's/early 30's, give it after Euro 2012 and I can't see many of the likes of Gerrard, Lampard, Terry, Ferdinand, Cole, Barry playing again.

Can see us in a few years time being what Italy are now. We have some good youngsters coming through, but invidividually will they ever meet the individual calibre of the players we have now? (regardless if they play well for England or not)

No, either him or Yann Kermorgant.

Some of them will yes.

Hart will be the best keeper we've had for years.
Richards will be a top class RB in a few years time, if not Johnson isn't old anyway.
The CB's could be a problem.
Gibbs won't be as good as Cole but he won't be far off.
Rodwell and Wilshire will be world class.
Milner, not sure about.
Walcott when he learns to cross will be very good.
A. Johnson could be world class.
Rooney is Rooney.

We could have an even better side bar the CB's.

Add Cattermole to that list too. A very good holding midfielder considering his age.

Yea. The spaces I think that could be filled are 2 CB's, and a CM. Cattermole could be that CM. It's hard to tell what will happen in the future though.

I think Smalling and Shawcross at CB, but not sure really. Maybe Jones from Blackburn.

Why would you want someone who admits to be a cheat, and is also only at Argentina as a figure head.
