Tbh I remember him looking good for the u-21's a few years ago (Walcott), he was played as a striker and did really well.
Do you think if he'd have played centrally from the start at Arsenal he'd be any better in the CF position? Surely playing on the wing won't have helped?
I ask because I think we have good youth in defence and in midfield but there aren't any real quality strikers coming through for the national team.
Rooney (will need to be replaced in 2 years imo)
Sturridge
Welbeck (effective but not clinical enough)
Those are top 3, then you have players on the cusp of the squad like Defoe, Carroll, Lambert (Agbonlahor lol?)
I can only think of Wickham and Keane in the u-21's and then Akpom in the u-19's. Pretty poor tbh cos I can't see either of Wickham or Keane doing anything.
