Do you think Andy Carrol and Theo Walcott should now be an integral part of England setup? I like what I see of both these players. Theo is real fast and he has age at his side and his blistering start to this season with 4 goals shows that he is improving. I am impressed with what I have seen of Andy Carrol so far in the three games. He looks to me to be the perfect center forward to replace Emile Heskey. He is strong and unlike Heskey also seems to score the goals. What do you say on these two's England prospects? Cheers! Ram

It sounds like England is rebuilding with the right men. Were these two on the World cup team? If not, do you think they would have gone further with these guys?

Oh! So they could have been better or at least younger if they had them on the team.

Neither of them were on the world cup team. A lot of surprise was expressed on the missing name of Theo Walcott. On the other hand Andy Carrol has just hit the radar. Cheers! Ram

Andy Caroll plays center forward for Newcastle. Was the top scorer in the Championships last year and this year has 4 goals in 3 matches in the premier league. Cheers! Ram

I would say that whilst both should be considered for part of the set up I do think both have a lot still to learn. Walcott has the speed to scare the opposition but he still needs to learn a few more skills such as crossing, a noticable weakness which is improving but would be highlighted when playing for England. Carroll I think needs to be included in the England squad, made to feel part of the set up and get use to playing with other players in training and a friendly before he gets any important match experience. But I do think he has what it takes to be an England player.

I agree Walcott needs to work on his crossing skills, though his finishing skills has started to look more and more menacing over the last two seasons. Cheers! Ram

I think Walcott can be said as the next Thiery Henry. He plays very well this season and Capello must be very disappointed not to bring him to South Africa. Wenger must be happy now because he find the new Thiry Henry from England. Talking about Andy Carroll, he is a talented Center Forward from Newcastle but i think he needs about two more years to be integral part of England squad.

I think Walcott has a long way to go before we can hail him as Thierry Henry, but he does have that pace to burn which Henry also had. Let's see how he develops from here on. Cheers! Ram

Both looks good and should be knocking on the international doors. Thing is, lets see their performances for a few more matches before we starting lavishing good things about them. But you are right. England need a strong powerful striker to compliment Rooney.

Yes, consistency is going to be the key for them. But both of them seem to be coming off age at the right moment for club and country. Cheers! Ram
