Potential Future Players


Guest Scot1

Recommended Posts

I’m going to start listing young players, players on the fringe of the squad, players who could become part of the squad in the future. I’m doing this to try to keep a tab on all of the players who could potentially become a Scotland player.

Isn't that the point of this thread?

"Potential"

Who saw Scott McTominay coming when he was 18/19, and on Sunday he gave a performance that £90m Paul Pogba has never given for Manchester United. And has been more consistently than him.

If you haven't shown potential by the time you are in your 20's I doubt if you have any!

There are many instances of late developers:

Scott McTominay made his senior Manchester United debut at 20 years old debut. He wasn't touted for greatness by anyone before then.. He only really became a regular at 22 years old, which was his breakthrough season.

James Vardy was playing in the conference with Halifax till he was 24 years old.

Paul Lambert was a decent attacking midfielder at Motherwell. He joined Borussia Dortmund at 27 years old. He turned into a genuine world class anchorman with Zidane in his back pocket in the European Cup final.

Ciro Immobile was a journeyman striker till he joined Lazio at at 26 and now he's a goal machine.

Better yet, Andy Robertson was in the 3rd Division, packing shelves, at 18. He should've given up on his dream and focused his attention on being a delivery driver.... as opposed to being a world class footballer with an EPL and European cup winner's medal in his pocket at the age of 26.

Cieran Slicker

18 years old - Manchester city 

Goalkeeper

(Might be worth having him in the Euro 2020 squad, if he's decent. The chances of a third choice keeper playing is extremely remote.. unless David Marshall gets giantism and Craig Gordon gets hypnotised into thinking he's a chicken*)

*The Simpsons reference.
