SWP's a waste of space, I said it last year, he's lost a yard of pace and continually keeps running into the back of defenders, its so frustrating its unbelievable. every now and again he gets a lucky bounce or bobble and manages to get by a defender but then you can guarantee his final ball will usually be shite.
He's also injury prone, after about 7 or 8 games his confidence starts to come back and just as you think he's getting back to his best , bump! another niggling injury, miss 2 or 3 games then back to square one, he's not international class and never has been no matter how good his dad thinks he is.

Adam Johnson looks a lot better prospect from what I've seen of him so far, this world cup is probably a bit early for him but he's the most natural two footed English winger i've seen in a long while, when he gets the ball he doesn't just run down the wing like an headless chicken like a lot of the current English wingers do, he pauses , looks around then decides what to do like continental players do, the last English winger to do that was probably Chris Waddle.

We could do with Joe Cole putting in a stint before the tournament starts so he gets selected, on his day he's probably the most inventive midfielder we have , If Rooneys going to shine he'll need somebody to link up with and Cole would be ideal, not quite an Iniesta but he closest player we have to him, if we just rely on wingers and the current midfield we'll be snuffed out like a damp squib.
