Lewis Holtby

[Mr. Gayle]

England are in danger of missing out on talented Lewis Holtby, the 20-year-old Germany player who still qualifies to play for the Three Lions.

Despite captaining Germany Under-21s, Holtby still qualifies for Fabio Capello’s team through his English father Christopher, career in the military took him to Germany,

The FA have chosen not to attend his Bundeliga game at Bayern Munich today and appear resigned to him committing his international future to Germany.

Holtby Jnr is a passionate admirer of the Barclays Premier League, an Everton fan who celebrated when England pulled off their famous 5-1 win in Munich in 2001.

A crafty, goalscoring midfielder who is still only 20 and says he 'plays like Joe Cole', Holtby has been a key figure in the unlikely ascent of Mainz to the top of the German league.

His dad must be pissed.

[Captain Planet]

Ah well

[FamilyTree]

I read a German article from when he was like 18 saying he feels German and wants to play for Germany

[Guest Portuguese]

Holtby!

I think he should play for England instead of Germany.

Germany have too many players like him already(Ozil Kroos Gotze) he has vision and imagination a very good young player. Furthermore apart from Wilshere England simply can't count on that type of player at the moment.

If he does decide to play for England he will probably become England best player like Hargreaves was before his injury.

Poor mans Wilshere. fuk this faggit if he wants to eat german sausage.

He scored again as Mainz beat Hoffenheim 4-2 which means thats seven games won in a row and equalled the record(seven wins from the first seven games).
