For the Euros in 2016 Rooney and then see who comes to the front

Not even sure if I'd have him in the team. Need to have a real clear out and blood a young squad for the future IMO.

why does nobody ever put a 'don't care' option on these polls ?

Maybe because the assumption is that if you open such a thread, you do so because you do care

He will only be 32 at the next World Cup so will probably be in or around one of the first choice players

I can see him declining pretty actually. I don't think he'll be in the reckoning for the next world cup. I even doubt he'll be good enough for the Euro's. It's all down to opinions though....

From that list Cole, Terry and Lampard won't play for England again, so pretty pointless listing them. I don't think Rooney is captain material, not a leader, so woudn't pick him (unless he becomes United captain and does a good job), so that only leaves Cahill, and I'm a bit meh about him at this mo, but couldn't suggest anyone vetter.

None of the above. To be honest I don't think any of the current squad is worthy of the role. I just keep praying some half decent players will come to the fore in the next couple of years to give us a bit of interest in the next euros. Dammit, it's been so depressing witnessing the worst results we have had in a "finals" for ages.

I actually think Gerrard needs to stay on. I don't think anyone else is guaranteed their place for the next two years - Rooney included - and the last thing you need is a young player not even guaranteed a place struggling with the media burden of the captaincy.

Easily said but the future, ie the next tournament, starts on the 8th September!

Problem is, unfortunately we don't have any England definite starters who are captain of their club like gerrard terry, shearer etc. hopefully gerrard may still be there in two years but wether he will play each game or not I don't know. Be interesting when JT retires from Chelsea, who takes over as captain. Cahill?
