SBS News (good on 'em) had Tommy Oar on, saying he thought this generation will be even better than the GG. Just look at their ages:
Paul Okon Jnr is 21, Patrick Beach is 23, Cristian Volpato is 22, Nestory Irankunda is 20, Lucas Herrington is 18, and Alessandro Circati is 22. (Wiki). So average age 21. So 2030 and 2034, and maybe 2038.

Im skeptical. There is no rb/rwb i can see with big 5 or Cl potential and the early careers of volpato and irankunda look more similar to emerton and bresc than viduka and kewell. Toures early career looks weaker than aloisi

Having said that the cb pair and lb look like they will end up better

It looks like there wont be a huge difference tho. I suspect any mild improvement in our pathways like a nyl or an ais would have us equal or exceed the gg

James Overy age 18 at Man U has potential at RB. But it is the nature of things that players will emerge out of nowhere over this time period. These 7 youngsters mentioned are just the potential core. Don't worry, others will come in and fill the gaps

To be honest im skeptical overy will be an elite player. He is struggling to make the u21s let alone epl at an age where top players usually have a lot of u21 time under their belt. Hopefully players come out of nowhere

Midfield is a position that is weak at the moment but we have just so many players im expecting some to come good. Robbo okon and kutleshi look the most likely to me, and gianluca if he chooses us.

Id argue Toure's career so far, is ahead of Aloisi at same age. At the same age Aloisi was also playing in the championship at Portsmouth, back in the days when english league football was weaker than it is now. Back then England was3rd or 4th best,now easilythe best. Aloisi never had a run of goals like Toure's either
