Well, I didn't just say that because of one single player you know. If you look at some of the younger British player you'll notice that many of them are already at a very high level. And to be fair, many of those players were just promising because they were quick, physically ahead of the rest. The only one who became any good was ironically the one who relied mostly on pace and that's Walcott. And I guess Richards is still good but he's been destroyed by all the injuries. Crowley on the other hand looks promising because he's got excellent technique and an eye for a pass. Of course it's too early to say if he's going to become any good, but it's very likely that he will.
My point is, look at some of the younger players and you'll see a bright future. Not necessarily u21 players but also already established young players such as Wilshere, Sturridge, Jones and Barkley.
