Am I the only one who likes Vardy? I'd have him at City. He's fast, works his bollocks off, a team player and like someone has already mentioned, he has a lot of assists. He may not be the best finisher or the best on the ball but he's a whole lot better than Abel Hernandez.

I was going to say this.

Considering the top 2 automatically qualify now, we're already pretty much there. They might as well be considered friendlies now.

I said I'd have him on page 1.

Sadly too many people seem to be suddenly buying into TigerRoo's philosophies. Worrying.

Zaha is eligible for U21s and hasn't been picked, so getting him for the senior squad would make the u21s a complete force.

Roy said that he didn't pick Grealish because he's play against Ireland and didn't want him to get a hostile reception. However, he was fine with giving Kane first start against arguably the hardest defence to play against. And Grealish is eligible for u21s too

Roy said Grealish hasn't actually decided which country to play for.

The club shouldn't matter. If you're good enough, you're good enough.


Though with England it seems that for the most part that mantra is ignored.

But he's not good enough for England, but he's good enough for City

All the other people who would be in front of him are with U21s at the Championships.

As a result, he is the best choice left for England.

Crouch, Defore, Puncheon and Young would have all been far better options

Vardy's call-up reminds me of Vassell's. OK, Vassell had more quality on the ball, but his main attributes were similar: pace, teamwork and nuisance value.

We have had the (mis)fortune of also seeing Vassell in a Leicester shirt.

Vardy > Vassell

They may very well all be 'forwards', but that doesn't make them all strikers.

Would you call a full back a centre back, and vice versa?

Now you're just being daft because Young and Puncheon are both sensible suggestions. We already have Welbeck, Walcott, Rooney and Austin in the squad, we could have easily put in Puncheon for example, who's been very good for the last 18months-2 years.

They are sensible suggestions.

Not for replacing Vardy though.

Of those 4 players you've mentioned, only one of them plays in the middle. Rooney players attacking mid, Walcott and Welbeck play out wide. If you're bringing one of those players in, it is for Welbeck or Walcott.

Funny, Walcott played up top for England in his last game, Rooney has played on his own up top for England many times. Welbeck doesnt't play out wide either, just because Arsenal use him there, he isn't a natural wide player. Stop being pedantic for god's sake. We have enough forwards in the squad for the 2 games, hence why I would have brought in Puncheon

Welbeck is played predominantly out wide for England. As is Walcott.

Walcott's last England game was against Italy, he played out wide, Kane played up front.

Rooney may very well have played up top for England on his own, but how often does that happen now? He plays behind the striker. Coincidentally, his best position is behind the striker. Just as Walcott and Welbeck's best positions are out wide.

Stop being so ****ing pedantic yourself.
