England could have Messi and Ronaldo and they would sh:t the bed soon as they donned the English kit . Just one of those things in life you don't question , you just accept .
We'll no doubt bring in Andy Carroll as a replacement who is "unplayable on his day", as his goal scoring record all too vividly highlights. Then our Euro 2016 chances will be in tatters.
His day is once a season.... this season it was Arsenal. I'd take - Vardy Kane Sturridge Defoe (wildcard) But - Rooney will be going, and probably needed due to experience. I certainly wouldn't start him though.
