I think the 'England international' standard though depends on what that standard is.
Was his form last season good enough for what has traditionally been (and should be) England international standard? No, I'd absolutely agree not.
Was it good enough to be considered for selection amongst, in international terms, a very average and in a lot of cases poorly performing selection of centre backs such as Keane, Dunk, Coady, crap centre midfielder Eric Dier playing out of position, Tarkowski, Stones and Maguire? I still think it was and is.
I've left Joe Gomez out as I think he will be head and shoulders above any of those mentioned in a year or two and would be an automatic pick for me.
