David Wheater for England...









Barrel of Fun

Abort, retry, fail
I think it is about time we tried out some new faces or we could just go through the motions again and pick the same players. I would rather have players that would love to play for their country as opposed to players that do it out of a sense of duty and the bonuses are satisfactory. He is supposedly in the running for player of the season at Boro.

theres 7 centre backs in that squad (including brown and lescott) and wheater has definitely been in the top 7 centre backs this season, he's been in excellent form and anyone who says otherwise has probably only seen him in boro's dismal f.a cup games


who would you have in his place OH WISE ONE, seeing as you clearly know more than one of the greatest football managers on earth?

He's shit end of.

That comment is 'shit' as you so eloquently put it. He has been Boro's best player this year and weighed in with a few goals. Exactly the sort of player who should be in the squad. Who would you have chosen then?

Terry, Ferdinand, Woodgate, King, Lescott, Brown, Jagielka, Carragher, Upson, Davies.

Thats 10 centre backs of the top of my head that will always be better than Wheater, i could probably think of a few more.

Do you have any idea how hes been playing?
He's been Middlesbrough's best player!, anyway why has Wheater been targeted when players like Walcott, Owen and Beckham have been selected?, I'm going off Cappello more and more when seeing his selection.

carragher=retired
davies=injured
jagielka=would have him in but not as CB


seeing as terry and ferdinand are gonna start i don't see the problem in having him in the squad, and like i said, wheaters been in fine form, and cappello seems to go on form as opposed to reputation

owen, despite playing for an awful side, is still one of our best strikers, same with beckham with regards to midfielders (might have something to do with that 100th cap aswell).......walcotts been in fine form

Wheater's playing well but will he get a game? If not he'd be better off in the U21s.

I'm surprised Carrick hasn't got a look in, I'd have thought he'd be Capello's type of player, and is playing well. Rob Green is in much better form than Carson.

Also it seems odd that players like Lennon and Huddlestone aren't in the U21s OR the senior squad.

Wheater isn’t a bad shout and he wont get into the final 23 anyway. The fact they let Woodgate go because he was playing so well gives you a clue as to how high they rate him up there. More to the point, I’d like to know what Beckham has done for the LA Dog and Duck to deserve a recall.

as long as beckhams fit he's fine to be in the squad in my view........apparently that baldini guy was satisfied that he was fit enough to play
