Leicesterpool Posted 12 November 2015 Share Posted 12 November 2015 It's depressing that Roy said Rooney will automatically start against France. No such assertion when it comes to Vardz. It would be typical of Woy, Vardy was to score an hat trick against Spain and still would be dropped for Rooney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlad the Fox Posted 12 November 2015 Share Posted 12 November 2015 I don't get why Rooney can't play behind Vardy? Agree, rooney has looked in serious decline for a season now and only his name is getting him in the squad. However I think Vardy could help revive his England form as he will run tirelessly for him giving him plenty of options to get the ball forward.

Devonfox1884 Posted 12 November 2015 Share Posted 12 November 2015 If you listen to Woy's interview he says: "there are a couple of partnerships that interest me. Jamie Vardy and Wayne Rooney, as well as Ross Barkley and Harry Kane." Perhaps Rooney behind Vards vs. France? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darkon84 Posted 13 November 2015 Share Posted 13 November 2015 Is it only me that sometimes thinks that Roy's hands might be tied a little. Perhaps it might be sponsors that are the reason why players like Rooney always start even when they're absolutely awful. He's still a huge name and a global brand, whether he's playing sh1t or not.

I think he's just desperately trying to play Rooney into form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank to be Posted 13 November 2015 Share Posted 13 November 2015 Rooney is dog muck and is always shown as such when the real games start. He's also a halfwit and I wouldn't have the tool in the squad. Rooney was the only England player on the park who looked international standard at the World Cup last year. He has had a poor season so far though. I'm pleased Roy is taking no risks with Vardy. He was clearly playing through the pain barrier on Saturday. I think Vardy will go to the euros as our 'secret weapon' of sorts. Rooney and Kane will start but Vardy will come on centrally in the 2nd half. The clamouring for Vardy to start up top for England in these pointless games is a bit ott. It's obvious to everyone what he offers so he doesn't need to be tested at all. Maybe Roy is playing an intelligent game, holding him back ready to unleash him in the euros. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingcarr21 Posted 13 November 2015 Share Posted 13 November 2015 Messi, Neymar, Suarez...Vardy?According to the Daily Mail, Barcelona, along Real Madrid, told scouts to check out the form of free-scoring Leicester striker Jamie Vardy in tonight's international friendly between England and Spain in Alicante. Barca's backroom boys will be disappointed however as the 28-year-old has tweaked a groin and so will sit out the meeting with the European champions. Could you imagine Barca coming in for Vardy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain... Posted 13 November 2015 Share Posted 13 November 2015 Rooney was the only England player on the park who looked international standard at the World Cup last year. Not sure I would agree, he was pretty pedestrian at the World Cup last year, but what I will say is Rooney is the only England player of this crop that has proved that he can be a match winner in domestic and international games. Even though he hasn't for a while, he is the only player with the ability to make something happen, for that he should be in England's plans until someone else comes along. Players like Walcott, Sterling even Kane have shown ability and scored match winning goals, but they have never taken a game and won it in the way Rooney has, and the likes of Gerrard did for England, the only other player who has really done that for England is Townsend, who came on a couple of times and completely changed the game and won it for us. For that reason alone Rooney should be first name on the team sheet, we don't have anyone better, which is worrying for England as he has been very poor for club and country recently, but nobody has proven themselves better, and I include Vardy in this.

TJB-fox Posted 13 November 2015 Share Posted 13 November 2015 Obviously these rumours are a little far fetched, but I don't think football fans realise how good Vardy is and how he can change games- presumably because he came from non league to little old Leicester. Brilliant striker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steflcfc Posted 13 November 2015 Share Posted 13 November 2015 It shows, some city fans being the same (myself included in that) I/we have certain assumptions on certain players of other teams. On Vardy this season opposition fans have written him off, until they have seen him play live they then change there attitude and realise that he is miles better than there opinion suggested and can see why the England opportunity arose. See WBA and Southampton fan have said they didn't realise he was that good commenting on this board after the respective matches. We all would love a player from our clubs (top 6 aside) representing England, I would rather see a team representing England who are getting call ups on form more than others who have dropped off the radar/injured but he a call up anyway eg Delph.
