He's a must for the squad. As for the starting XI, leave it to Roy to determine who is looking best in training, and also take into consideration the opposition.

[Football] If the Euro's started tomorrow, would you start/bring Wayne Rooney?

Saturday's result won't help with the hyperbole surrounding England and the Euro's that is a given.
The option to have Rooney or Vardy starting or coming from bench is a great problem for Roy to have.
Keeping Kane fit is key to success at this tournament he has improved so much in the last 18 months. He is definitely one of Europe's elite strikers. The recent goals against Arsenal and Germany demonstrate this.

If he's fit I'd have Rooney in my squad. There's a reason why he's England's top goalscorer...
More of an issue for me is the news that Milner will be captain for the game against Holland. This suggests that he is still very firmly in Hodgson's plans. I actually quite like Milner and think that a lot of the stick he gets is unwarranted but if he goes to the Euro's it will, IMO, be at the expense of a better, younger player. Frustrating.

Take your pick, will he be injured before the tournament starts, injured during the tournament or sent off during the tournament? Pretty sure one of the aforementioned will happen.
It's very difficult to see where he will fit in...especially as he never performs during the finals of tournaments. If I was Roy I'd make a break with the past and bin him.

What I keep hearing from the pundits is that it's very important that Rooney is ENGLAND's CAPTAIN. So They say Roy HAS to take him.
Well in that basis you can't leave your captain on the bench can you? So he will start?
I'm honestly livid about the whole thing. I genuinely think the most likely outcome is that Roy will start him and the team will suffer massively as a result.

Chris Hughton has left his captain on the bench for the last few games and no complaints. Why can't Roy?

I'd leave the goblin at home.
I haven't read all this thread. In case its not been mentioned, the manager thinks he's a top man, always making a point to take time with new squad players, a leader in the dressing room. To parphrase' if he's got some games under his belt, he'll be in the squad, whether in the team or on the bench'. That sounds fair enough to me.

After scoring that goal against Germany Vardy is a cert for the Euros.
