To be honest, at International level, Carrick would still offer a lot. You'd need a bit of energy and dynamism around him but he's got the intelligence, fitness and ability to sit in front of the defence and move the ball around better than anyone we have currently.

He'd be woefully exposed if caught on the break or forced to track someone with even average pace.

No he really would not. He never produced at International level when he was in his prime for us.

You could have said the same for Pirlo before he retired for Italy, but it rarely happens

Would rather put up with that than rely on Jake Livermore to pass through the lines and get at the opposition back 4

We never had such a woefully inept midfield before in Carrick's career

By the way, this trend of woefully inept players is going to get worse with all the money around now to buy ready made Jonny Foreigners.

Young English players may start to move abroad. Quite a few have this summer.

Quite a few relatively to English players.

Can't think of anyone decent off the top of my head. Prem billions makes it unappealing for them to go abroad.

The guy from Man City that went to Dortmund? There were 2 others, think one was a loan which was cut short against the wishes of the player.
