I was surprised to hear him talking about England. He's not even playing at the moment. If we're being honest here, he'll never play for England again. And like others have said, The Championship looks his better bet.
I wasn't. He mentioned his arrogance being a key reason for his successes. He always knew he was going to be a pro footballer and saw himself as the best player in the team.
That arrogance is what makes a professional footballer in my opinion. If you don't have that high level of self belief, you're unlikely to ever make it.
I don't think it's realistic to be talking about playing for England. It would be the come back of all come backs, but I am pleased that he hasn't lost that self belief. I really hope he can fix his injury and personal life issues and resume playing football at a reasonable level.
