Good thread mate.
Leroy Lita i dont think will ever be England class. I actually think both Doyle & Kitson are simply better strikers than him for Reading alone. He is also a bit of a tearaway with a pretty shoddy attitude to the game by all accounts, i cant see him being an England player.
James Milner is another i cant see getting a look in. He is way behind the likes of SWP, Lennon, Beckham, J Cole, Young & Bentley for wide areas. Tbh i have never been a fan of Milner, i think he is way too hit and miss and for a wide player his goals/assists record is shambolic. There have been many more talented players than him who havent been able to get into the England side.
Ishmael Miller....do you think he will get a chance at City under Eriksson? All the talk is of City going after Crouch & other strikers, i think Miller will end up in the Championship. He is doing well at Albion but he is raw, is he better than Defoe or Andy Johnson?? Same goes for Cameron Jerome actually....
Few others of note:
Leighton Baines- should be competing with Bridge for second LB spot imo. Stephen Warnock is also in this category, they are hardly youngsters (23 & 25 i think but they are talented players)
Dave Nugent- went off the rails since going to Pompey....still a promising striker.
Adam Johnson. Exciting winger, can play left or right....done well at watford on loan, now back at Boro....
i saw that Jermaine Beckford goal last season....great finish and skill. havent seen too much else of him tho so i cant comment.
