Consistent high performer, goals and pace. Got to go to Euros IMO.

Rooney or Rashford if it was one or other? Discuss

Rooney. We have the pace with Vardy and Kane, Rooney may be able to offer more in behind the strikers at this point and he's probably more adaptable. I'd take both a drop one of the average midfielders we are taking

I'd sooner pose the question of Sturridge or Rashford?

Might be a genius move or might be like when Walcott was selected those years ago.

Rashford every time! Would never pick Sturridge (ever)

[danblue]

If I had to choose, I'd take Rashford with the view of looking to the future England football team but....
I see Rooney now a midfielder.
Rashford striker and winger.

Rashford in, Wiltshire out.

It's a sad indictment of where we're at that a teenager with barely double figures of first team appearances is promoted to the England squad.

I doubt he'll go, as well as echoing the bewilderment that more longer term performers like Noble have been overlooked, but surely he should be serving some sort of apprenticeship in the U21's rather than being anywhere near the first team.

Yet he is in the starting line up and starring in a FA Cup final.
If you good enough....

The correct answer, perfectly put

[The Earl of Chesterfield]

Rashford off injured.

And what do folk have against the proven, though injury prone quality that Sturridge possesses?

(PS: I'm totally objective having no Premier League loyalties of any kind.)

Agree about Noble- he should certainly have had a cap or 2 by now.

No need for an u21 apprenticeship though- he's good enough!

And that's what Rooney can do from midfield

I have no loyalties too Chris but when you see Chesterfield residents queuing at SCS on Markham Road every home game to board the Man Utd home game bus you cannot have any love for the Wa*nks

TBF he was best player on the pitch today by a country mile

Least they go to games tho and aren't a part of the armchair brigade who pretend to have some sort of passion for a side they've hardly ever watched live (like a lot of my mates). I have no affiliation to any other side other than Chesterfield by the way and England of course.

Well if it's the bus that comes from Mansfield and picks up in Chesterfield, it may be of some consolation to you to know that even though they are all ST holders only two of them off the bus got tickets for the final as they hadn't attended enough FA cup games to get priority tickets

Quite impressive, although he could've been sent off.

How many games has he played in that role and played that well?
