    To face Scotland, good news for him, he's deserved it, let's hope he doesn't get injured.

    !! He hasnt even played a competitive match at the top level yet!
    This reminds me of Peter Crouch.....awesome at Southampton, no call up.
    Moves to Liverpool, and gets an England call up before he has even kicked a ball in a Liverpool shirt.

    He probably wont play though, maybe its just a chance to get him used to the England set up etc.
    Strange decision though imo.

    He played for England when he was a Palace player.

    <doh>
    My bad
    How'd he do?

    Also, not sure why I am complaining anyway, since I have little to no interest in the England football team. Just on one this morning.

    He helped Crystal Palace get promoted to the premier league and he's impressed us during our pre-season tour as well.

    If you watched Zaha you'd know he was truly shocking since he joined united, he only got good in the play offs.

    He's impressed againts league two standard oppenents in pre season? <laugh>

    What would he need to do to earn an England call up in your opinion (apart from sign for another team)? What is the Purley criteria that the FA are overlooking?

    With your inside knowledge of player transfers and ability it's a surprise that you're sat at home contemplating your next **** when you could be earning millions working for Chelsea.

    So basically the England manager should pick the England team from the English players at the two Manchester clubs?

    your taking the f(u)cking piss now Purley, he's been one of our best players this pre-season and he will prove his doubters wrong.
