Pearce has just announced his squad of the latest England under 21 game vs Romania to be played at ASHTON GATE
. when you look through the squad, it is interesting to see the lack of players from the top 4 clubs.
The list:
Goalkeepers
Ben Alnwick Tottenham Hotspur
Joe Hart Manchester City
Defenders
Martin Cranie Portsmouth
Craig Gardner Aston Villa
Michael Mancienne QPR (loan from Chelsea)
Nedum Onuoha Manchester City
Andrew Taylor Middlesbrough
Steven Taylor Newcastle United
David Wheater Middlesbrough
Midfielders
Tom Huddlestone Tottenham Hotspur
Adam Johnson Middlesbrough
Michael Johnson Manchester City
Michael Kightly Wolverhampton Wanderers
James Milner Newcastle United
Fabrice Muamba Birmingham City
Mark Noble West Ham United
Forwards
Gabriel Agbonlahor Aston Villa
Dexter Blackstock Queens Park Rangers
Matt Derbyshire Blackburn Rovers
Luke Moore Aston Villa
Theo Walcott Arsenal
Only two of them.
You may argue that some players just go straight into the full squad or are sold because they can't make the grade....however, you would think there might be some players from the fringes of the respective club's first 11.
Any thoughts?
