Your England squad

For the euros, name your choice of 23, not who you think it will be but who you'd select if you were the manager. My guess is that we'll all have virtually the same with a differing 4 or 5.

Hart, Robinson, Green
Richards, Walker, Jones, Ferdinand, Lescott, Jagielka, Cahill, Cole
Lennon, Parker, Milner, Gerrard, Barry, A Young, Downing, Ox
Defoe, Rooney, Sturridge, Crouch

Gk
Hart
Robinson
Ruddy

Def
Cahill
Lescott
Cole
Richards
Walker
Jagielka
Baines
Walker

Mid

Gerrard
Parker
Young.
Johnson A
Milner
Chamberlain
Barry

Str

Rooney
Sturridge
Crouch
Defoe
Welbeck


No Bent unless he plays at least 3 games before the end of the season. Likewise no Wilshire unless he plays enough to prove his fitness. If they do so then i'd take them ahead of Defoe and Barry.

Lutes, no baines or milner? Surprised that you've opted for downing ahead of johnson and milner

I did put Milner in.

To be fair, I forgot about Johnson, but would stick with Downing anyway as Johnson flatters to deceive.

Like Baines, could probably put him ahead of Cahill as Richards could play in the centre. Big fan of Richards, but from the bits I saw last night, he was disappointing. Would certainly want Ferdinand in the squad if fit, another possibilty is Dawson ahead of Cahill

As mentioned before, not really seen much of Ruddy, hence I went for Green

Hart
Robinson
Green

Jones
Smalling
Baines
Lescott

Ferdinand

Milner
Parker
Gerrard
Johnson
Young
Wilshire (if fit, if not Lampard)
Walcott
Lennon

Rooney
Bent (if fit, if not Defoe)
Welbeck
Sturridge

I didnt pick Wilshere cos presumed he was out, if he gains fitness, him instead of Barry

also QB, you've picked Walker twice.

He likes him.

Maybe he has picked Kyle and Des

No Owen?

what the fudge has Owen done to be worth a call up?

QB still rates as Owen innit.He'd have Owen annd Crouch up front no problem.

Owen is still the best finisher in the country for me, you don't lose that eye for goal and movement in the box, shame he can't stand up right for 2 minutes without snapping something. If he had played 20+ games for United this season, he'd be well in with a shout.

Spot on. If Campbell can win a cap after 3 prem games then Owen, a man who can boast 40 goals in 89 games deserves due respect. If Redknapp is gaffet then you can guarantee Owen's age will not be an issue

Surely the fact he has hardly kicked a ball in anger will count against him

Probably get injured answering the phone with the call up news..

OWEN? That's one hook I'm not getting on.

QB must fancy him, he does like a dwarf or two

He prefers the ones that can't run away too.

Owen is perfect then Jak
