If Payet was English would Hodgson pick him ahead of Rooney?

he wouldn't pick him ahead of Henderson

probably not ,Rooney shouldn't be anywhere near the team nowadays.

Hodgson woud pick Rooney ahead of Messi similar problem for the Irish in that O'Neill will pick Robbie Keane even with a zimmerframe  FFS

we could do with a payet type player

the problem with O'Neill isn't picking Keane......its not picking Houlihan who is the only player of any vague ability and hes on the bench

You could have had him Donny

He sent home a Premier League winner in Drinkwater in place of injury prone average player Henderson, that really is enough said.

agreed racingqueen but to be fair to Hodgson his team is on average the youngest whereas O'Neill has selected the oldest which does not bode well for the world cup or the Euros but does for England. Can see Robbie Keane lining out for the nest world cup.

england already have lots of divers in their squad so why would roy want another one.

Well, he picked Henderson over Noble and Sterling over Antonio and I know which one I would rather defend against.

The sooner he is gone the better for players that can actually play football on s consistent basis.

No and thats why we will not win the euros roy too cautious.
