Grant Holt and England - "I wasn't included it was ridiculous"

[marko]

One average season in the Premier League and he's thinks he should be in England squad.

He's not international quality, but I think Lambert could do a job upfront instead of Andy Carroll

Time to resurrect?

I think the likes of Bent, Crouch, Graham, Lambert would get in a head of Holt the journeyman.

What an absolute tit.

What an absolute tit.

Pretty much hit the nail on the head for me!

How could he seriously expect to be called up for those matches when Roy would be using them to prepare for Euro 2012 with his final squad?!

[Jaspa]

Its all everyone else's fault then

Think hes showing exactly why he wasn't picked, will trust Roys opinion/management above his anyway

[AKCJ]

Well he's completely off form right now.

If he was banging them in week in week out then fair enough. Hate ***** who automatically think they're good when 2/3 years ago nobody had heard of him.

[Guest BlueBrett]

Fat twat. Does he really think he's good enough?!

Also Danny Graham

[Tielemans63]

Classic one season wonder - deserved to have one less cap than Michael Ricketts.

[1884Fox]

What an arse

[MrSpaM]

Deluded

Don't really get some of you.

Okay, it's a bit of an arrogant thing to come out and say, but he was fantastic last season and should have gone to the Euros. I'd have picked him ahead of Carroll any day of the week, Norwich aren't a fashionable club but he was superb and an athletic target man is hard to find.

Who have you got that's that type of player that's much, much better?

[Filbert_Ross]

i think time will tell he's not good enough but i do think he deserved a chance in some of the friendlies last season to show if he was or not on the back of his good goal scoring season.

Hey, we aren't Wales you know. Not everyone who has a good season gets an automatic place in the squad!

if he was Welsh he'd probably be our top goalscorer by now.

In fact, I might go search through his family tree - everyone's got a granny from Ponty somewhere.

I'd go for Crouch over those two any day. Also Holt is hardly athletic. 'Bustling' maybe.

Ruddy managed to get in the squad so he can't really blame it on the club he plays for.

[bmt]

I would have rather had him then Carroll up front on his own, could have had a game to try him out at least. Not sure why he's come out with this but I do sort of see where he's coming from.

[AyewJoking]

Shame he doesnt have a Scottish Grandma.

[Guest ttfn]

I think Wayne Rooney had a Scottish grandma.

Not that it would have qualified him to play for Scotland.

BOOM BOOM.

Holt should never have got anywhere near anEngland squad and didn't, so in my opinion it's a non-story.
