Yes or No, the Euro 2016 squad

[TightEnd]

Assume everyone is fit.

I am assuming the first 17 in the squad as follows

Hart, Butland
Cahill, Jagielka, stones, baines, clyne, smalling
Henderson, dier, wilshere,
Sterling, Barkley, alli
Rooney, Kane, Vardy

you have roomm for 5 more

3rd keeper

second left back and or right back

2 midfielders either DM or AM

4th striker

Yes or No to each of these players in the Euro 2016 squad

Ben Foster

Luke Shaw

Ryan Bertrand

Danny Drinkwater

Mark Noble

Adam Lallana

Theo Walcott

Danny Welbeck

Daniel Sturridge

Marcus Rashford

[PokerBroker]

Fraser Forster has to be on the plane if not as number one then ahead of Butland. 

I wouldn't have Rooney either.   Would probably leave Sterling at home as well. 

Ben Foster - No

Luke Shaw - Yes

Ryan Bertrand - Yes

Danny Drinkwater - Maybe. 

Mark Noble - No

Adam Lallana - No

Theo Walcott - No

Danny Welbeck - Yes (if fit and in form

Daniel Sturridge - Yes (as above)

Marcus Rashford - Maybe (would like to see a bit more)

you are taking 3 left backs?

Hodgson has stated Rooney is his captain if fit

trying to keep it realistic!

[DMorgan]

Too early in the morning for this, opened the thread expected to see Gove and Boris up top

[superwomble]

Ben Foster - No, has to be Forster

Luke Shaw - No

Ryan Bertrand - Maybe

Danny Drinkwater - Maybe

Mark Noble - Maybe

Adam Lallana - No

Theo Walcott - Probably, depending on his end of season form

Danny Welbeck - Probably, depending on his end of season form

Daniel Sturridge - Maybe, less likely than Welbeck, again depending on his form and fitness

Marcus Rashford - Not a chance! He's played a couple of games! This would be akin to the madness of taking Walcott to World Cup 2006.

[Nakor]

Forster for me too.

Ben Foster - No

Luke Shaw - No

Ryan Bertrand - Yes

Danny Drinkwater - Yes

Mark Noble - I would, Roy won't.

Adam Lallana - Yes

Theo Walcott - No

Danny Welbeck - Yes

Daniel Sturridge - If fit I fear for Kane or Vardy.

Marcus Rashford - No, would need to finish the season on 10+ goals?

I don't understand how Wilshire is a lock in Hodgson's eyes (and indeed for this thread).  He hasn't played a single game this season - are we really saying he is that good that if he bumbles through a few end of season Arsenal games half fit he is a better choice than someone who has played all season.  I think this demotivating for other players.  It's not like a key player as in the Rooney/Beckham situation from times gone by.  I also don't see how Sturridge/Welbeck get in the squad unless they shoot the lights out by season end.

he was placed in the list of locks as i think he is for hodgson.

Read this morning he is a 1/2 chance to go. Don't get it myself, but as Tighty says, it is realistic for the list of locks.

The way Hodgson thinks if wellbeck  and Sturridge score a few goals at season end there must be a chance Vardy misses out.

[Karabiner]

I think the Ox is also a lock if he recovers from his latest injury as Woy loves him.

[Horneris]

Ben Foster - No, Fraser Forster #2

Luke Shaw - Yes

Ryan Bertrand - No

Danny Drinkwater - Who? 

Mark Noble - No

Adam Lallana - Yes

Theo Walcott - Yes

Danny Welbeck - Nah

Daniel Sturridge - Yes (as above)

Marcus Rashford - wtf, hasn't he played like 3 games

[PokerBroker]

I really don't get some managers, Roy's insistence on sticking Rooney is to the detriment of the team imo.  He was good 10 year ago when he had pace, the last few seasons in my book he has been pretty poor and his goal scoring record/discipline at big tournaments is questionable. 

I suppose though, it doesn't really matter who Roy picks an England team can't and won't win the tournament.   Making the semi's has to be seen as a massive success. 

[NoCardDSC]

Also strongly disagree Wilshire should not go under any circumstances, would be so demotivating for those of them that didn't end up making it and have had an above average season and narrowly missed out.

But going off the fact those 17 are locks then;


Ben Foster - Got to be Forster of Foster - saying that he has had a couple of shocking games the last few, so could be closer than I thought a month ago.

Luke Shaw - expected back at the start of April - should be in if he picks up where he left off - Yes

Ryan Bertrand - No

Danny Drinkwater - yes

Mark Noble - no (extremely close between MN and DD)

Adam Lallana - yes, impressed with him recently.

Theo Walcott - no

Danny Welbeck - no

Daniel Sturridge - yes

Marcus Rashford - no, maybe WC2018 - far too early, he's got his exams to worry about  

[DungBeetle]

No Deeney?
