If you had to pick a 23 man England squad now..

Did this a few week ago but

Hart Ruddy Foster
XI Hart
Johnson Jones Jagielka Cahill (Saw someone post about centre backs earlier, he looks class) Smalling Cole Baines
XI Johnson Jagielka Cahill Cole

Gerrard Wilshere Henderson Rodwell Barkley Milner
XI Gerrard Wilshere
---------Rooney(I would pick him as a striker but play him in there)

Townsend Sterling Oxlade-Chamberlain
XI Townsend-------Welbeck (again pick him as a striker but play him on the left)

Rooney Welbeck Carroll Strurridge
XISturridge

 

Nobody picking Milner?

We all know he'll go.

 

I don't think he will, I think Henderson is a better option

 

I have a great option for the manager and he actually looks good for City when hes played in the MIDDLE

 

Me too. But he'll go. Can play anywhere, and even though I don't rate him, he gives it 100%. Can see why managers pick him.

 

I agree actually. But then you're dropping Wilshere and Gerrard.

 

I hope Osman goes before Milner

 

not for a first 11 pick but in the squad. can play in centre on left or right in attacking or defensive modes and play right back.

 

I like Osman. Very underrated. One of those late developers. Reminds me of a better version of Butterfield.

 

That's why both he and Jones will go. For their versatility. Their ability to be average in many positions. Jack of all trades, master of none.

Sorted

 

You had to spoil it didn't you! You were doing so well, I think you'd gone 4 hours without mentioning him

 

At a push gerrard given he is still capable of grabbing a game by scruff of the neck and changing it. Legs are towing though.

Lallana.

Ward-prowse.

The Ox.

Barkley

Milner for his versatility.

Otherwise I'm towing, the lack of young English players who have potential skill and play without fear is quite disconcerting.

 

I nearly put him in my 23 man squad...

 

That's why Gerrard is needed. We'll score through his corners/free kick delivery, and perhaps the odd bit of skill from the Ox and perhaps Rooney.

 

Whats his injury record been like this season? Would he be fit

 

Can I phone a friend?

 

Not had one that I can remember. Be nice to see him start at Hillsborough on Saturday, but shan't hold my breath.

 

Have you got one?

 

Full squad...
