If You Could Pick One Player.....

.....from another country at the World Cup to strengthen the England side and improve their chances of winning the tournament then who would you pick?

I have been thinking about this today and although the temptation is to pick one of Messi, Ronaldo, Iniesta, Xavi, Kaka or Sneijder I don't think any one of those on their own would fit the English style of play.

I am split, therefore, between Torres and Drogba.

I think that, even though I loathe him, I would have to go for Drogba because he suits the English style so well and plays so well with Lampard at Chelsea.....

Who would you pick and why?

    David Villa. His goalscoring record at International level is frightening.

    Drogba, proper English style centre forward !

    I'd say Messi, not only cause he is the best player in the world but i just think he would fit in well. Play him and rooney up front we couldn't lose, or put him on the left would be frightning

    If messi was unavailable would have to be ronaldo, these two can win games on their own and both would be main players for us maybe push us on that bit further we need

    If only...

    Aside from all the obvious players, and taking into consideration we have two centre backs injured, I'd quite like to see Fabio Cannavaro at the back.

    An all-action captain who gives his all.

    Iniesta as a replacement for Jonjo ;-)

    England desperately need a playmaker so i'd have Iniesta or Sjneider to replace Lampard or Gerrard.

    I have to agree. That No.9 showed more passion for the game than any of our namby pamby professionals... he worked his nuts off last night. Our players should take note.

    Would have to be a keeper- Iker Casias or Jose Reina would walk into our side and sort out all issues over who is number 1.

    If not, a decent centre back who could last a whole WC, Puyol would do the job alongside John Terry.

    Ryan Giggs we would have won the WC by now if he had chose England :-)

    But he is Welsh, not sure he even qualified for England. He played for England schoolboys as he went to school in England.

    Got to be any of the top keepers, Buffon or Casillas, we havent had a decent keeper, in his prime for 10 years+

    Or that Danish winger, Rommedahl, frightening pace.

    Fabregas - as looks like he will be fresh for the new season.

    Hate to say it but Klose for me.

    Think we are really lacking a Lineker/Shearer type and he fits the bill.

    I was going to say Messi, but having seen the game on Saturday I'd have to go for Iniesta, we desperately need someone to conduct and set the pace from Midfield.

    thats right - Giggs was born in cardiff and has welsh parents - he wouldn't have qualified for England... he was more eligible for Sierra Leone than england.
