TOT, What about Defoe though? He has had a good record for England and hasn't done that badly this season for Tottenham. Defoe and Holt for England.

Could I interest you in this?

TOT, Even if Holt is untried you've got to give him a chance to do something. What have they got to lose? They won't win the tournament England anyway. They will get to the Quater-Finals I think.

If hodgson is confident of surviving to the world cup he should take a risk and use this tournament to start replacing the 'golden generation' baines for Cole, Jagielka for Terry, Walker for Johnson, Holt for Rooney etc etc

That is why we have the U21's. The new generation of players will be coming through so we use them and not mid 20's players who are playing for clubs that aren't as good. I only want Holt to be given a chance because he will actually do something if he holds the ball up and flicks it on to the faster striker like Defoe and Holt would be a nightmare in the air so from set-pieces etc.

None of what? The U21's?

There are some good players coming through and could be at some of the best clubs in the World very soon or some of them are.

Alex Oxlaide-Chamberlain
Nathaniel Clyne
Ross Barkley
Emmanuel Frimpong

What about the ones that are close to coming through/have done

Danny Welbeck
Jordan Henderson
Jack Wilshere
Phil Jones
Kyle Walker

I've put some on there

Wilshere has been hit with Injuries but is still a Top Class player.
Jones is starting to find a place in the Man United team and with more work will become a Top Class defender
The same goes for Kyle Walker
Danny Welbeck, I only criticise him because he hasn't done that well for Man United this season but might in the next couple of years
Henderson really the same as Welbeck

AOC is coming through and looks like a World Class player atm
Nathaniel Clyne is wanted by some of the biggest clubs in England and is doing well in the U21's
Ross Barkley the same as Clyne
Emmanuel Frimpong showing signs of improvement and is another one for the future

But you can't compare them to Europe yet because they all need there time first. They all have time to become better players. Also lets be realistic here, we won't be as good as Spain, Germany and Holland in the next 5 years but we might be good enough to challenge with some of the other International Giants like Brazil (maybe a little too optimistic there) and Argentina which we are already doing.

But our players will be good enough to play for England and maintain there current position on Fifa Rankings and could possibly shift us above the likes of Argentina and other International teams like them.

I also see you do something with the Leeds fans or any sort of football fans?

Richards has to play for me, fast strong and a good defender, he also adds a massive physical presence in both boxes.

Also Carrick must play, just wish Scholes would come join him!!
