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)

He said reputation and name would count for nowt. If you played well enough, you'd get a chance.
Green, Woodgate, Carrick, Young, Agbonlahor, Defoe, Kitson.....
They've all had fantastic seasons and haven't seen given a chance. That's not to say they won't in the future, however, he's picked Beckham, Hargreaves, Walcott, Crouch.....and what have they done in the past few months to warrant anything like an England call up ahead of the list of names above ?
