Down the years this country has produced some great footballing talent, players often worshipped by their clubs, and often treated with suspicion by the rest of the country.
Players like Stan Bowles, Alan Hudson, Rodney Marsh, Peter Osgood and Charlie George roud: from the 70's, then on to players like Hoddle, Barnes and Gascoigne. The last one I would say there was, would be Matt Le Tissier.
Where is the next one? Or does British football not appear to have room for these players anymore?
Hughes is another example of a player being shackled by responsibility for the team. The amount of times he gets played as a defensive midfielder so he can't go out ns fully express himself has become a disappointment to me. A player like him needs the shackles taking off and just be allowed to do his thing.
Thinking about it Tom Ince is more of a "maverick". Gets criticised for not working hard enough, and chasing back etc but has great talent on the ball, needs to progress that ability he's shown in the championship, into the premier league though.
He becomes more loveable when he's scoring goals for your team though. Especially when the rest of said team are playing like a bunch of useless *****...
Using TapaTalk which is a bit hit and miss when quoting . .. I was just correcting .
Clearly Grealish is the up and coming talent .. and along with Barkley should be the new 'stars' of English footie .
