why???
It's not though is it. He's one of the best centre backs in the country, there on merit. I don't understand the midfield thing but I think it's a bit unfair to say he's just there because he plays for United. Terry and Ferdinand are getting on now, nowhere near the players they used to be. In fact, I'm happy to think there's players like Jones, Smalling and Welbeck actually coming through. Add to that Wilshere, Chamberlain and Gibbs and I think we'll have a decent team in a few years. Considering we'll still have the likes of Hart, Richards (Don't get why he's not in the squad by the way) and Rooney as well.
By fashionable you mean better, yeah? Yes, play players on merit but don't be so blinkered by a dislike of a team to feel that those players aren't at united because they're better than other players in their position. I'm sure Bent was getting in the squad when he was at Sunderland?
The other thing is that those players at the better clubs play together each week and so know each others games. Continuity can be good, as proven with Spain who mostly play with players from fashionable teams.
I didn't mean the continuity as in always the same players in the England team - I meant from club football to International football. Like Spain have mainly Barca players with a few sprinklings of Real players! I agree, players should be picked on merit, but surely those players are playing in the bigger teams mostly on merit?
Capello's a different issue. The obvious choice to succeed him is Redknapp, except he's now facing charges of tax evasion which, I think, is why the FA let Venables go after Euro 96?
I'm gonna have to eat humble pie here and say the boy done good. :facepalm:
Phil Jones is the real deal.
