Revisiting “The Team of the Future”

James Henry

Henry is another player who has been a great talent in central midfield. Rodgers even once said that he had tried to take Henry to Chelsea while he was with the Blues. Also capable of playing on the right wing, the former Reading man had a setback early in his career with a cruciate ligament injury. However, the player has made a good comeback from injury, scoring a number of impressive goals for Milwall, good enough to secure a permanent move to the club. He has played for both Scottish and English age level teams.

Theo Walcott

Without doubt, the most successful player from the list, though it wasn’t really much of a prediction considering the fact that he had already been selected for the World Cup in 2006. The former Southampton man has been a winger at Arsenal, with his best moment coming at Zagreb, where he scored a hat-trick for the national team against Croatia. Of course, there was the disappointment of 2010, but he has come back stronger. The player had his best scoring season last year, as he secured a new contract for himself. This year, he is a key element of the Arsenal team that will be looking to challenge for honours. His game still has an element of streakiness to it, but he’s probably a good bet to go to Brazil in 2014.
