ROSS BARKLEY made his full debut for England’s U21 side on Monday night, setting up a goal in their 2-1 win over Norway.
I’m sure it won’t be the last we see of Ross in an England shirt, though.
In fact, I thought when I first saw him that he was nailed on to play for his country, and he was only 14 at the time!
And I said, with some confidence, that he would have a full cap by his 19th birthday. I have seen nothing yet to suggest that won’t be the case.
He has plenty to learn, from a defensive point of view, but attacking-wise he has so much potential.
And he is at the right club to unearth it.
He has been held back so far by David Moyes, and rightly so.
Like he did with Wayne Rooney, Moyesy is easing Ross into the first team picture gradually. I’m sure we will see more of him as the season goes on. Speaking of Rooney, what was he playing at on Friday night?
I’m sure his game will have been affected by the stories surrounding his family, but it was such a silly thing to do. The referee had no option. But should England still take him to the Euros? Ha. Of course they should!
