Leicester's next England player?

[Kirby&West]

Trying to remember the last City player to play for England got us wondering who might be the next. Drinkwater? Vardy? Liam Moore? They'd all be more lively than most of the bunch running around tonight.

[Unabomber]

It will be Liam Moore in a couple of years. I would love to see Vardy and Drinkwater get called up but I just can't see it.

[AKCJ]

Liam Moore I think.

[Jimmy]

if Matty James gets back in and performs the defensive midfield role could be his but it'll be Liam Moore

[Dan]

Any of them based on this.

[ADK]

Moore has the best chance of being an England regular imo. He'll probably have to play for a "big" club first though.

[Kinowe Soorie]

Heskey or Guppy? Moore, Drinkwater and James potentially.

[Stevosevic]

Moore.

Don't even think he's that far away now. Plays like he has been for a full season, he will get a cap.

[Bryn]

Moore unquestionably, think he is the only one who will be looked at whilst playing for us sadly.

[lgfualol]

Moore.

Drinkwater and Vardy would be great, especially if they get recognition like Southampton's players did.

[Fosse93]

I reckon Vardy will get a call up at some point.

Watching Delph playing this evening, I suspect any kind of decent performances this season from DD and MJ and they'll make the squad.

[Narborough_fox]

I think, looking at the strength of the England squad at the minute Drinkwater/James are the more likely to get a call-up first. The fact that Colback and Delph are in this current squad shows how weak the central midfield area is at the minute. 

 

If Moore plays like he has done these past 3 games and impresses in his last games for the U21 squad then I can see him threatening the squad before the end of the Euro qualifying campaign. The only downside for Moore is that CB is probably England's strongest position at the minute with Cahill, Jones, Chambers, Jagielka and Stones all ahead of him in the pecking order at the minute.

Stones looked poor vs us, Martinez dropped him after. Same goes for Jagielka so far this year - And Chambers at 19? he's got his cap because he moved to Arsenal and had an okay season. Liam Moore isn't far off based on his games for us this season, for Roy it's all about the NOW. And if DD / Vardy light up and perform as we know they can, then there's no reason why Roy won't give them a chance. Roy already saw Stones vs us, and you'd have to say Moore was the better player on the day.

[Kirby&West]

Whoever it is would make watching England a bit less like hard work. Old enough to remember the excitement in the early and mid '70s when Whitworth, Worthington & Weller we're winning their caps.

[HesNotGudjonsonn2]

That defence doesn't install you with faith though. I don't think Cahill and Jagielka are of international standard so I would replace them with two younger lads with the other three and see if they can develop. Hey, what have England got to lose?

[TMELcfc]

If these Man Utd fans are right about Tom Lawrence it might be him, but right now, I would've said Liam Moore.

[Steve_Guppy_Left_Foot]

Enjoying these type of threads but there should be polls with them. DD for me.

Cahill is England's best defender by a country mile. I can see your point regarding Jagielka, same with RedSoxUK, but I just think that his reputation will keep him in the squad for longer than he should be in all honesty. Moore will have to be outstanding all season to break his way into the squad for me, also got Dier at Tottenham who will challenge Moore for CB as he is good with the ball at his feet. 

 

I have no doubt that Moore will get an England cap in his career but with the strength of the midfield, after losing Gerrard and Lampard, I can see James/Drinkwater getting one before Moore does. 

[Kirby&West]

We did wonder about Lawrence. But if he's played for Wales U21s does that rule him out? Not sure.

[Narborough_fox]

Born in Wrexham so he'll play for Wales rather than England. 

[Stadt]

Dier is predominantly a RB, isn't he?

And Lawrence is welsh

[TMELcfc]

Ah good point... Although the rules seem to change on a daily basis but I'm assuming under 21's is too late to play for a different senior country?

[foxile5]

Was Ian Walker the last capped whilst at Leicester?

[Buzzell]

Moore, James or Drinkwater.
