How has Kevin Davies got a called up.

If I was in any doubt that the future of England football team is in trouble then this call up comfirms it. The way I see it Fabio had the chance to call Andy Carrol up which would of given him some good experience with the senior squad. Instead a 33yr old that clearly hasn't been good enough for the last 13yrs.

[Rev John Ripsher]

He's been called up because everyone else is either injured or in Carroll's case is out of form .

[ctw01]

He deserves it I reckon, Davies is a proper hold up striker and better than the likes of Heskey .

[mattyvw]

He's hardly in great form thou and England ill gain more long term with carroll in than Davies

[BigDub]

Will he play? If not what does it matter?

[edmonds44]

he is also the captain of Bolton he brings something different to the squad

[Rev John Ripsher]

Why not call him up ? You just never know .....

[edmonds44]

to add another point though... if Carroll got dropped due to form why has Capello re-called Lennon who has been off form of late?

Lennon's got class , and there may be a weak link in the opposition ?

we're playing Montenegro... my nan could play on the wing and cause problems, but remember we are England we have to make a chore of everything we do!

I can understand the need for four strikers in the squad BUT if there aren't four quality strikers around, then, the formation needs modifying. I think we went 4-5-1 at one point because of injuries. Therefore Capello should be looking to changing his formation and bringing in another midfielder or a defender rather than calling up Davies. It's things like this that makes me doubt whether Capello is suitable as a national manager.
