After receiving the news, 18 year-old midfielder Jack said:

"I'm delighted to have been named in the Senior England squad for the first time. It is a real honour and I'm looking forward to the experience."

"I'm also realistic and want to take things one step at a time. Being called up to the England squad is a proud moment for me and my family, but my first target is to break into the Arsenal team and play on a regular basis. To achieve that, I need to keep my head down, work hard and stay focussed."

Arsenal >>>>>>>>>>>>>> England

Good lad Jack.

Muamba mentioned before Jack Rodwell? Sometmes I wonder about the Vipset.

He'd be wasted as a holding player & needs to complete his u21 apprentership first, only special cases get to skip.

I reckon Milner might end up centre mid long term next to someone like Huddlestone. With Wilshere, Rodwell and Johnson behind Rooney.

Wilshere is the one though, hopefully him and Rooney will do what Gerrard and Rooney should have.

[darkman]

Smh @ no Defoe

[TF S4DK]

Rodwell imo is a special case.

[Michel Kane]

Wilshere & Rooney would if both peaking, would be a totally different dynamic to Gerrard & Rooney.

When Wenger arrived in England 14 years ago and made an immediate impact with a Premier League and FA Cup in his first full season, he was perceived as a refreshing new model of manager: liberal, flexible, and as open-minded as they come. Now the image is somewhat different. He is seen as stubborn and belligerent. Has he changed? Have the endless crusades toughened him up? Wenger is in a relaxed pre-season mood and the question amuses him. His answer is simple: perceptions nowadays are all down to whether or not you win.

"The fact we did not win the championship for five years means people say I am stubborn," he says. "If we had won in the last five years I would still be as flexible and open as before."

To give a more topical example, he elaborates on what he calls the "Rooney factor". During a week when England's most important footballer was plastered over the front pages of the tabloids for being, well, plastered in the early hours and in possession of a cigarette, Wenger argues the story is negative in the context of England's poor World Cup. "Imagine he does exactly the same but they won the World Cup," the Frenchman suggests. He proposes the story would then be an upbeat one. Good old Rooney. What a Jack the Lad. Look how he can be a winner and then go out and enjoy it. "That means you do not judge the guy, you judge first the result he has produced and then according to your disappointment, you judge the guy," Wenger muses.

"Rooney, today, cannot walk out there and do anything. Even if he needs to pee on the golf course. That is not normal any more. What is important about Wayne Rooney is that his attitude when he plays is 100% right. When he goes with Man United to West Bromwich Albion, he gives absolutely everything to win the game. So, he wants a little enjoyment, but what do you want? They're not monks. They have to behave properly but you have to understand that they are under a level of pressure which is higher than ever."

[MetaFives]

Good for them but I really hoped they wouldn't get called up just to watch from the bench to get 5 mins from the end and get injured...

[Guest faze]

[Guest faze]

Capello is any puppet...

[Mr. Gayle]

Gd look for Gibbs, but dont really see him playing regular for us let alone England for a very gd while. Other LBs for Eng are ahead of him.

[Seth Rollins]

Clichy's concentration levels and injuries mean Gibbs will play a fair amount of games this season.

I wouldn't even expect Clichy to be there in a couple seasons tbh.
