Sorry Leon. You won't get in the England team by constantly finding teammates through passing the ball. You need to give the ball away cheaply, or run from box-to box, rarely influencing the game. Proving to be more accurate than Iniesta is not of interest to this country. Just ask Jordan Henderson.

Leon is a superb fulcrum in a patient ball-playing team. He doesn't stand out to the casual observer because he doesn't play many 'Hollywood' balls or score goals. He is simply a vital member of a team that is more than the sum of it's parts. Therefore he's of no interest to England or a manager like Hodgson, irrespective of age.

The irony is that if he did actually get a call-up for England it would be the rest of us that give up all hope.

m starting to think Roman may never actually be happy at the top level. If he wants all conquering fancy football I wonder if he'd be better off buying a lower division side then paying outlandish salaries to attract high caliber players too good for the division.
