Back to posting your usual crap without understanding what was said?
At no point did Capello say that he will pick players on form 'alone'. Obviously his tactics and players that offer something different like Crouch, Walcott will be in the reckoning. All he said was that reputation will not be the most important criteria - the fact that Downing, Bentley, Barry, Brown, Johnson, Lescott were given a good run out indicates that.
And people keep banging on about Defoe scoring goals but so can Kitson or Doyle. The likes of Sven/Jol/Ramos haven't rated Defoe and the fact that top clubs wouldn't go for him even though they needed strikers in the recent past indicates that he lacks something needed to play at the highest level (maybe team spirit or work ethic)
