5 Young stars likely to make big money moves this summer

With the transfer window about to open for business again, most people will be focused on where the big players, such as Bale or Suarez, will turn up. But the window is often the time for the young players to make their dream moves as well.

Here are the starlets likely to be playing for the top clubs next season:

1. Callum Mcmanaman, Wigan Athletic

 The tricky winger showed flashes of brilliance last season, however, potential interest could have been dampened by 'that' tackle against Newcastle. On the ball, though, Mcmanaman has plenty of pace and skill, and the fact that Wigan were relegated will make it all the easier for buyers to get him cheap. 

Potential suitors: Former club Everton may just be regretting letting him go, and with departed Wigan boss Martinez taking over from Moyes, there could be reunions all round at Goodison Park. 

2. Luke Shaw, Southampton

The young left back was one of the most consistently good players last season, at St. Mary's and in the whole of the league. He doesn't show his inexperience and was able to keep out pacy wingers like Walcott with ease. He also adds an attacking dimension to his team with surging overlaps on the wing a constant feature of his game.

Potential Suitors: Man Utd could be looking for a new left back with Evra seemingly close to departure, but the red devils already have Buttner and Baines could be moving there as well. If he weren't to go to Utd, Tottenham would be another good fit, with current Left back Assou Ekotto coming under fire throughout last season and also struggling with injuries. There is also no in-club replacement at the moment.

3. Connor Wickham, Sunderland

The striker has been under used by managers at Sunderland and with Sessegnon and Graham seemingly ahead of him, a move may be on the cards. Also, after standing out for a lacklustre England under 21's, there could be plenty of interest coming in. His strength and finishing could be a key feature for whichever club he ends up at next season.

Potential suitors: Tottenham need a striker, but they may be tempted to look elsewhere for a more experienced and proven striker to help them reach the lofty heights of the top four. Another club that could be interested though, is Liverpool, especially if Suarez were to leave.

4. Troy Deeney, Watford

Deeney almost led Watford into the Premier league, narrowly losing the playoff final after Extra time, but showed throughout the season his finishing prowess and the strength to hold off even the biggest centre backs. However, his off the field problems could hinder a big money move for the Englishman.

Potential suitors: Like Wickham, Liverpool and possibly Tottenham are the main suitors.

5. Tom Ince, Blackpool

 Ince is annually linked with a move away from Blackpool and to a top English club, and this year, is no different. The winger has the pace, the finishing and the crossing to fulfill the needs of a modern day winger. However, he may not want to lave the club where his dad is manager, and if he did, the price tag put on him could diminish any interest from the majority of clubs.

Potential suitors: Liverpool are usually the main protagonists and this year is the same, with Ince's former club linked with the winger.

So these are five of the youngest and best players looking to secure that big money move they thought they would only ever dream about. Comment below which of these moves you think will actually happen and which are the stuff of fairy tales.

The English youngsters who will be stars of the future

With the absence of many regulars playing for the lions, England's squad against Argentina will hold many unfamiliar names for the majority of English rugby fans. A lot of these players may be unknown now, but they are certain to feature prominently for England in the future.

Here are some of the certain England stars of the coming years:

Mike Brown, Winger/full back

Having started to make an impression on England last season, resulting in a starting place for the Six nations, Brown has improved dramatically, resulting in many viewing him as England's best wing option. Expect great things from this Harlequins player.

Christian Wade, Winger

Wade is a pacy player and his speed helped set up England's opening try against the pumas. As well as the pace, his handling and passing is exceptional, with fast flowing passes keeping the defense out of position and England with all the momentum, similar to what happened for England's second try on Saturday. Despite all this, he is still young and so could, and should, certainly be a star of the future.

Jonathan Joseph, Outside Center

Joseph showed his strength and pace in setting up the first try. He evaded the tackle of one and shrugged off another before setting up Strettle to finish in the corner. These skills are necessary for an outside center, meaning Joseph could have a key role in future England sides, with his speed and strength coming to the fore.

Billy Twelvetrees, Inside Center

Twelvetrees has already featured for the national side, replacing the injured Tuilangi, but when the starters are Barritt and Tuilangi, it's very hard to break into the side indefinitely. However, Twelvetrees has the skills and is a very versatile player, meaning combined with his youth, these characteristics are certain to eventually earn him a place in the starting XV, whether or not that chance comes sooner or later.

David Strettle, Winger

The saracens wing is a proven point scorer and at 29, also adds some experience to the side. Though his years as an international player may be numbered, he is certain to have some impact on the squad in the coming years, putting pressure on club team-mate Ashton and the aforementioned Brown.

Freddie Burns, Fly half

Burns has a lot of talent, but with the youthful Farrell making the position his own, Burns could struggle to make the starters. However, his talent should definitely see he makes the squad, and if Farrell were to be injured, would be ready to cover him

Joe Marler, Prop

The 22 year old was originally drafted into the squad as cover for David Wilson but has since made the position his own and with his youth, is sure to keep it for a while. He was a key player for England in the Six Nations and may play more prominently in the years to come.

Rob Webber, Hooker

Webber has a task on his hands if he hopes to take the position from Hartley or Youngs, but with his ability he has the potential to do so. He performed admirably against the Pumas on Saturday and the backroom staff will hope he continues to do so.

Joe Launchbury, Lock

The wasps player is another 22 year old who will feature increasingly as time goes by. He is certain to play Lock for many years to come, having already taking the position for last years Six Nations. With his strength and power, he will be a key weapon in scrums.

Tom Wood, Flanker/number eight

 The 26 year old has been one of England's unsung heroes in recent tournaments, performing consistently and helping others create the headlines. But despite this, he has been a rock in the scrum and in rucks as well as making surging runs from the midfield.

Ben Morgan, Number eight

Morgan has really propelled himself onto the international scene with astonishing results. He has performed admirably in all his England caps, with his trademark runs through the opposition lines and his clinical finishing as shown against Argentina on the weekend. He also has great handling skills and can set up an attack when nothing seems to be on.

So with these players breaking through, and the likes of Farrell and Tuilangi currently unavailable, the future is certainly bright for English rugby!

Should Jos Buttler be dropped from England ODI team?

After a tame defeat to New Zealand in the ODI series, many questions were asked about wicket keeper-batsman Jos Buttler. 

The Somerset player failed to perform with the bat or gloves, letting through many byes, which ultimately could have made the game a whole lot tighter if they had been stopped.

After the game, cricket pundits everywhere were left wondering why Buttler was included in the side ahead of cricketer of the year, Matt Prior who has performed admirably over the last 18 months in both aspects of his game.

It is now a widespread view that the answer to England's wicket-keeping woes in the one day game could be found within their own camp, and in the form of South-African born Prior.

Prior has never had much of a feature in the shorter games for England, being the back-up for Kieswetter, Davies, Foster and now Buttler. However, despite this, Prior is known for his attacking instincts that are constantly on show in the five-day game.

His first class career strike rate of 67.00 (with the majority of those games being test matches) displays his ability to hit out with the lower order, a trait that has been instrumental in firing England up the test rankings and, for a brief period, to the top - something they will hope to regain after this years ashes series.

He is known around the world as one of, if not the, best wicket keeper batsmen at the moment, alongside the likes of India's Dhoni or Sri Lanka's Sangakarra, but not many could hope to match or better his average of 40.72, a figure which makes Buttler's 32.48 seem measly in comparison.

There is an argument to let Prior focus on his test match abilities, but what is the point of having such a gifted player and only using him occasionally.

If we really want to become the best in the world at all forms of the game, we should play are best players as regularly as possible (provided they're fit).

Leaving the job to someone less capable then he is, is a big sign that the ECB care more about test cricket than the other types of the game.

Overall, Prior is better than all other English keepers with both the bat and the gloves. He opens the batting for Sussex in T20s when available and could be the missing link we are looking for to reach the top.

I feel he should definitely be given a go; if he plays the last ODI against New Zealand, and performs as he can, he would be a necessity for the Champions trophy next month.
