only shortage we have is...progressive centre midfielders
I fully expect James Maddison to be pushing for a starting place in the very near future, and honestly don't think he'd have been out of place had he been the 'gamble' taken along to this year's tournament.

I’m sure @Markyboy will keep us updated on his progress, over the next couple of seasons..

Agreed there’s plenty of talent in the pipeline, and it’s also encouraging that some of that talent is looking for playing time rather than sitting in development squads. We currently have a surfeit of defenders and tricky attacking wings, only shortage we have is of strikers and progressive centre midfielders. @villa-ru could Grealish be the answer? @Manc_Ronnie is foden the answer? Would they be able to hold the centre and link play more effectively than what we have at the moment? Or am I putting round peg into square hole?
Disappointed in the manner of the exit in a game we could have won, but strangely relaxed about the future. Players are young, most are starters for their teams, and they can only get better (hopefully) but you still look at France and Belgium and to a certain extent Germany and think front to back in their 23 they have more talent than us, which tempers my optimism somewhat.
