Delph for England

[curiousorange]

I fully expect him not to sign a new contract now.

Anyway, fair plays. Long overdue. Well done, matey.

Good for him. Well deserved.

Why not?
I can't see him suddenly becoming Billy Big Bollox just because he's been chosen in what is let's face it, a pretty mediocre England squad.
If he played in a few international games and looked world class then things might be a bit different.

Well done to Delph, but that is a really awful England squad isn't it.

Pleased for Delph to finally get a chance (although listening to talkshite this morning they were pretty dismissive of him (particuarly Adrian Clarke)

[Dr Butler]

does this increase our representing Villa players for England ratio to about 68 now ?

He's not done it yet - J Lloyd Samuel and Curtis Davies both made it as far as the squad but didn't add to our tally.

There are some real head scratching choices in there.  Danny Rose?  Jack Colback?  Looking at it, I think Delph has every chance of getting in the starting XI.

Not mention Jack Wilshire - he really has the making of a World Class player according to some.

Any others in that category? Warnock?

From wikipedia:

After impressing with Aston Villa in the early 2009–10 season Warnock received a call up to the international squad once more for a friendly against Egypt. On 11 May 2010, Warnock was named in the 30-man provisional squad for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. On 1 June 2010, he was named in the final 23-man selection by manager Fabio Capello, ahead of other left back Leighton Baines. Due to the widely accepted adeptness of Ashley Cole at left-back, Warnock did not feature in any of England's matches during their short-lived run in the World Cup which ended against Germany.
