Delph for England

[supertom]

Score and create more would seem the logical answer to the question. He did both on Wednesday, but so did Barry Bannan for Palace in their last two games.

It's consistency that'll push him up the pecking order. And i'm not sure he's doing anything other members of the squad aren't in Roy's mind at the moment. But he (Delph) has 6 months to make him sit up and take notice if he really wants to be on the plane to Brazil.

Delphy has the potential to get goals from midfield. If he can get half a dozen this season it'll be a reasonable return. He's got it in his locker. If he puts away a few more before the next squad announcement, Woy may have to take notice.

I think by no surprises he isn't going to do what Sven did and take Walcott with intention of playing him. He'll hopefully take players who deserve to be there and that means players who have worked their way into the squad by the time they leave. If he continues playing well I hope Delph will be impossible not to take. Lampard and Gerrard if healthy are guaranteed to be there as much for their experience as anything else.

If i was Woy i would give serious consideration to taking Delph and Gabby. Just an idea.

[ciggiesnbeer]

He is young, energetic, good on the ball and wants to take the game to the opposition.

He is the opposite of a Hodgson player, so no he doesnt have what it takes.

What he needs to do is find a portal into Tom Cleverleys' mind, ala Being John Malkovich.

I think there's a pub team player somewhere who's already occupying Cleverley's body.

He needs to get a few sub appearances for Man U, Spurs, Chelsea, Arsenal or Man City. He'll be on the plane in no time.

Seriously though, if he continues this form, he can't keep being ignored. Can he?

Delph is a poor player and has no business playing with Woy's superstars who will try and tempt him to join their poncy clubs.

You're wight, woy, Delph is no good.

It will be the death knell of Delph if he gets picked for England. Keep well away. The shrieking, pub-going, office girls in town, while we are in Brazil, will know no different.

[ozzjim]

How Cleverly is picked over Delph, maybe even Livermore who has played well at times for Hull this season, and certainly Huddlestone for example is the most clear basis of he is a Man U squad player and thus better than anyone who is actually any good.

[olaftab]

Easy. He need to leave Villa and not play regular football by becoming a  fringe squad member/bench warmer at Mancity/manure /Chelsea.

As alot of people have said do we really want him to be part of the squad?

One of the "bigger clubs" players will no doubt have a word in his ear and we could potentially lose our best midfielder because he has been picked for a competition we have no chance of winning

Flattery will get you everywhere Jamie.

Better late than never.

Arsenal's Calum Chambers is expected to be included in England's first squad since last summer's World Cup.

The defender is likely to be rewarded for several impressive displays since a £16m summer move from Southampton when the squad is named on Thursday.

Tottenham defender Danny Rose and Aston Villa midfielder Fabian Delph are also tipped to be in Roy Hodgson's squad.

Hodgson is also expected to name a new captain to replace Steven Gerrard, with Wayne Rooney favourite for the role.

England play a friendly against Norway at Wembley Stadium on 3 September and the opening match of their Euro 2016 qualifying campaign in Switzerland on 8 September.
