Walker is a million times better than Flanagan.
But Flanagan plays for Liverpool, so he's in.

I'd love to know what your search results were for "trent tampon"
As those who frequent the youth thread will know, I follow our youth teams fairly extensively. Josh Onomah is one of the 3 players I'm most excited about (Cameron Carter-Vickers + Nathan Oduwa the other two). Whether he'll play for England in 2018 is a huge question, but I have no doubt this guy will be a successful footballer, almost certainly at Premier League level, and I certainly hope at Spurs.
CCV + Onomah are both an age group below, but were 2 of our best players in the U18 team last season. CCV was 15 for half the season! Onomah represented England U16 and U17. CCV didn't, but I'll be shocked if he doesn't this season.And that says a lot considering that excludes 4 other players who represented Eng u18s last season
After having seen the quality of teams in Brazil, along with our own fairly inept displays, it just shows that the old arrogance hasn't gone away. Not one of them said 'I think we'll struggle to make the World Cup next time'.

Fair play, mate. My bad!Henry Winter, Daily Telegraph football correspondent
Touch wood, they qualify. If they do...
Oliver Kay, The Times chief football correspondent
It would still be a young team by 2018 ... but not one - sadly - that would go to Russia, if they qualified, with serious hopes of winning the World Cup.
Martin Lipton, Daily Mirror chief football writer
Having squeaked through via the play-offs (paying the price for falling out of the top nine in Europe by next summer), expectations will not be high for Gareth Southgate's team. I suspect that getting out of the group will feel like a triumph after the last two World Cups.
Daniel Taylor, Guardian and Observer chief football writer
It is a recurring theme from generation to generation with England permanently stuck in the same old loop. Can they win the World Cup in 2018? It is not a credible debate.
Phil McNulty, BBC Sport chief football writer
If England actually qualify for the 2018 World Cup ... It will need a lot more to come through ... to even think they will make any serious impression. ... But winners? No chance.
Arrogant bastards.

Oduwa was one of those who did play for England U18s last season.
Wilshere? I'll be surprised if he's still playing football by 2018.
