His attempts to bring Emile Heskey back were thankfully rebuffed. Emile must have know that the outrage to his return from international retirement would have been far worse than any rewards for making that final Wembley appearance, and it is just a shame that his former international manager could not understand this as well. Capello then went on to insist that his injury prone Captain and a certain ladies man were his first choice centre backs no matter what. Where is the incentive for young English defenders to try and push on for their international place? What happened to Capello's plan to bring in the England squad of the future? Will we only see them in friendlies such as the France game from now on?
Jagielka must feel betrayed, after being described as the "driver" of Capello's defence by the man himself. Now it is clear that Capello's word is worth less than the paper it is printed on, as his so called "driver" will be dropped as soon as Terry returns. Then again, he may start alongside Terry as it is clear that Ferdinand is the man of glass.
No doubt if the "Golden Generation" return they will qualify for the European Championship from what is a relatively weak group, but after that they will fail again. But at least they will have brought in some more cash for their "owners", and that appears to be all that matters to those in charge.
It's a shame that they can't see their gold is no more than polished brass.
Totally agree with all of this! England won't win anything till the prima donnas are scratched and they rebuild the team from the beginning! RUTHLESSNESS IS REQUIRED.
