A very good summer for English football. I guess the argument that the talent isn't there cannot be used too much. The money in the Premier League makes it almost impossible for much of it to come through though. Hopefully these lads get a chance, but after a summer like this I'd imagine they will be having one eye on the exit if they find their progress stalled.
Emile Heskey was a very good player indeed. His only real problem was a lack of confidence.Talent is fine but they need to be coached to have a footy brain
I'm gonna sound like a broken record but Chelsea supplied about 40% of the first teams for these tournaments and their players are almost all the same, 6ft plus and built to run. Hardly any of them showed an awareness of the game at any age group for me as their just playing on autopilot and are up against lads who can't compete with the systems and physical side.
You see skilful lads like sessegnon and Edwards and they don't seem to want to use them it seems.
Watching solanke for the under 20s was comedy gold for me. He reminded me of Emile Heskey yet pool think they have signed pele
It's great to see them win tournaments it how many will make it... at the very top maybe 4 out of all the teams this summer.

He was unplayable when on song. I always felt that Emile's problem was that he lacked confidence and would go into his shell too easily. If he failed to score with his first chance then he wouldn't want to get another chance to miss, but if he scored that first chance then he was brilliant for the rest of the game. I think Liverpool will be pretty happy if Solanke turns out as good as Heskey was.And the fact he couldn't shoot very well
And for a big man wasn't good in the air

He did have a decent first touch, for a big man.And the fact he couldn't shoot very well

I agree, better then that elephant who has just signed for Utd.
