Jags, Maguire and now Walker. How many academys can say they've produced 3 England captains?

In the last 10 years, only United. Dirty Leeds have two, and no other club has more than one (depending on exactly how you define academy football).
 
All the newspaper stuff is getting boring now. He's playing some of the best football of his life and the pond life can't let him be. Fame I suppose 🙄
 
He'll not be coming back to us anytime soon on a Bladey Blade cheap wage, he's got to get as much as he can to keep up with all the child support payments.

Should have kept it in his Man City shorts. Some people can't help themselves.

Oh I don't know I'm sure they will be looking through that history books to check.
If not I'm sure fans of other clubs will have said too some of them 'I can not believe Carlton Palmer never captained England' .

I can't believe he played for England, though I know he did, same wi' Swan, 'Doc' Pace were a swear word in his house and 'Doc' never got a cap.

Was the old man's favourite was Doc. And the old man knew his football and was worth listening too with his opinions on football, so he must have been a good un alright. Doc scored a few against Weds and some at Hillsborough for United, so I was told.

I said this before but ner' mind, first saw 'Doc' V Villa week Jackie Sewell ('54-'55, record fee I believe) transferred from't Fowls to Villa, beat United 1-3, Sewell 1 and sure 'Doc' scored the other two. Blades defence, Burgin, a young Coldwell, G. Shaw, 'Tommy' Hoyland, JoeShaw, Jack Fountain( part timer, total apps. 36, '51-'56+2yrs. national service.), couldn't do owt wi him, had a blinder.

Announced he is opening a new football academy in Sheffield. View attachment 179868

Nice and easy for him to run it locally when he gets bored of winning trophies and fancies the armband at the Lane instead.

Probably better than our academy....speaking of which, when is this announcement that the Prince promised us?
 
Kyle again saying he wants to finish up here, doesn’t want to drop too low though, think if we drop to L1 he won’t be coming 😁


The Sheffield-born speedster, who is expected to play an important role for England at the forthcoming European Championships, is a dyed-in-the-wool Blade, having come through the ranks at Bramall Lane before setting off to make an elite career for himself at Tottenham Hotspur in 2009.
Walker returned to Sheffield United on loan in the 2009/10 season before securing first team regular status at Spurs, eventually moving to City in 2017 in an eye-watering £50m deal. His list of honours includes a Champions League and six Premier League titles across his 301 City appearances.

Asked of his boyhood and which club he grew up supporting on his own podcast; ‘You’ll Never Beat Kyle Walker’, the 34-year-old told former Love Island contestant and co-host Chris Hughes: “Sheffield United. It was never going to be Sheffield Wednesday, no. Impossible. My dad’s a Leeds fan though.

“I’ve never played at Hillsborough. I’d rather not,” he joked. “I’d rather not go there. Leave it. City got them in the cup, I’m sure we did, away at Hillsborough. But I didn’t play. That wasn’t for any reason, by the way, the manager just didn’t play me.”

Unitedites have for some time hoped Walker will make a return to Bramall Lane. While his career at The Etihad has shown no sign of stopping just yet, it’s a possibility he has repeatedly claimed he would be interested in.

“I’ve always said, as long as my legs are are going and I still feel that I can contribute at a certain level, then I want to contribute,” Walker said last month when discussing his future beyond the Etihad.

“I don’t want to drop down too low because, no disrespect, but I feel the lower it gets, I think it gets harder. Certain things that you have the luxury of at City, whether facilities, nutrition, this, that or the other. But I’d like to finish at Sheffield United. That’s something that I would actually like to do.”

Walker has kept himself in peak condition, he is one of those players who is too good and too fit to drop down a level. He will finish his career still a Premier League player such as the likes of Scholes and most likely carry on playing til nearly 40.
 
If we went back up in the next 2 years, maybe we get a season of him, but he doesn't seem to be slowing down (literally) so apart from for the fun, why would be come to us. Someone with more money would easily take him on as back up.
 
We’ve been hoping he’d come back for years but he’s still city and England first choice, we’ve no chance for ages!
 
Got better the last 3 years, maybe captaincy suits him, used to rely on his speed to save him when out of position, but more solid now. Unless he takes a massive pay cut he can't come here as much as he'd be welcomed

Potentially still the best RB/RWB in the World.

Who competes - Frimpong, Hakimi, Dumfries, Carvajal ?

All round with all the qualities you want in a RB I would say so, I think a lot would argue for Trent because of the passing/crossing but he gets done in pretty regularly. Walker seems a brick wall against even the quickest/trickiest wingers as well as having good attacking output.
