You're right, the standards are improving again, compared to perhaps 5 years ago, but compared to 15 years ago, the quality is still really bad. For instance; very few of the current English players would be in the England team in the mid-noughties. Walker would be in there (ahead of Neville/Johnson), so would Kane. Sterling, maaaaybe, but the rest of this generation, even the upcoming generation would struggle to even get friendly call-ups 10-15 years ago.

Yes, it's going to take a fair while to see the fruits of it. We need to be patient, but I do think it's getting better.

Fraudegas?
They have the players to become a top side again problem is they have a manager like Moaninho a stop the opposition at all costs. Go for a the likes of the Napoli manager Maurizio Sarri could make them contenders again.

I really thought that after the "old guard" of Cole, Terry, Lampard and Drogba etc had slowly left they would be better for it and they have still been succesful but the fact the squad seemingly turns on and off when they like is quite incredible.
