If All Transfers Were Banned, Who Would Be The Best in 5 Years Time?

[MarsLlama]

If the FA decided to ban transfers altogether, and signing new players to academies became illegal too, what club would be the best in the world in five years? And how might they line up?

Personally I'm going with City. We have Sané, Iheanacho, Sterling, García, Angelino, Maffeo, Adarabioyo, Stones, Díaz and Gunn. Out on loan there's Denayer, Rulli, Jesus, Roberts, Celina, Unal, Yeboah, Manu García, Moreno, Zinchenko and other pretty high potential players. Plus Gundogan, Aguero, De Bruyne, Otamendi, and maybe Kompany would all still be playing at that time.

Possibly scope for a cameo role, I suppose.

Chelsea have lots of big strong lads for their age groups, doesn't translate up the age levels once everyone is full grown.

Don't know about that, bar Courtouis I think Azpilicueta is the youngest first xi player, he'll be 32 in 5 years.
