A lot will probably depend on James' form. Hard to see Richards beating out Glen Johnson at right-back on current form. If Gary Cahill can maintain his form, he should be a shoo-in for the squad, though he probably won't get a look unless Terry or Ferdinand are injured. None of the rest have impressed me much, though I'm not sure I've ever seen Rodwell or Tomkins play. Joe Hart will probably be first-choice soon, I think he should be already.

What's interesting to me is that the pundits and press have been saying for years that foreign players are killing the British game. Yet, as we see, there is definitely no lack of talent. The bread and butter of teams like Leeds United, Southampton, Sheffield United is in their academies these days. Starting up in the Championship, or League One and Two may actually make for better players than the reserve system used by so many Premier League clubs. Kudos to Alex for writing this piece.

As an old fart I am reminded of all the fuss made about Charlie George, Peter Marinello and Charlie Cooke years ago. The bottom line is that he hasn't even performed in the Premier League yet. Talk about putting him in the England squad is premature at best. Give the kid a break. Delph has been hyped like nothing I’ve seen in years.

Of those listed only mark noble and joe hart have a realistic chance and only if they do well in the coming season. The rest of them are just not good enough. yet. delph is a prospect, not even close to good enough yet.

Capello is no Sven. I can't see many of yours listed getting included, apart from Joe Hart and maybe Cahill and Richards. Wilshere won’t be included – he’s far too young. Capello is no Sven.
