Wheres the Revolution?

Rodwell WilshireSo an U21 squad has been announced and, dissapointingly Jack Wilshere, Andy Carroll, Jack Rodwell and Micah Richards are all in it. Which is fine exceptwell Id be hoping for a revolution in a way. We could be calling these players up to the full squad.

Im usually a pretty small picture kind of guy, but in this case, we need to stop thinking about now, and start thinking about 2-4 years time. Why cant we build a team of youngsters or at least include them in the squad! and start thinking of the future.

I find the short termism of the England team a bit alarming. I can sort of see why If Fabio took a team of youngsters to the qualifiers and we were anything less than really successful, the pressure would be on for his head. Hed need either the media or the FA strongly onside to do it, and its a shame but he probably has neither.

What do you think? Is the Under 21s still a useful place for players to gain experience? I imagine its nothing like playing for the full side, I can see its only use in showing us what players arent considered old enough to play for the full time.

It is surely time to start afresh isnt it? Fabio Capello was today discussing the idea of giving Paul Scholes one more chance to come out of international retirement. I cant see him taking the bait, so its besides the point but what is the point is giving Scholes another few games for his country, regardless of his current form? How much longer is he going to be able to play for England? No long enough. Fabio needs to start looking forward, not back.
