If Beattie scores tomorrow i think he will have a definite chance of a call-up, but im in two minds whether its a good thing or not.
pro - we'll have an England international in our squad, which will be great for Stoke-on-trent.
con - we're in a relegation scrap and need our key players to stay fit.
where does everyone else stand on this?
Beattie for England Good? or Bad?

He probably wouldn't actually play though if he did get called up. Just be in the squad

There is no chance of Beattie getting a call-up.
Not this season anyway.

slight worry, but the call up would give the guy EVEN MORE confidence in front of goal!

It'd be good for Beattie but bad for us. I definitely think he's capable of winning a place in one of England's friendlies at the very least, but do we really want to risk him being injured for the sake of a friendly?

Would he fit into Capello's style?

Good for him obviously. Bad for us as we wouldnt want him to risk and injury. Saying that he probably wouldnt get much pitch time, due to the fact that Rooney and Crouch would be up there.

i would love see him get called up, i dont think he would play but what a confidence booster for the lad, plus come pre season players wont be put off by coming to stoke because it will show if they play well they can still get a call up. beattie for england!!!

rob i love nothing more than being proven wrong, especially where stokes concerened, at the time of signing i admit his lack of pace and age worried me, but hes been a sensation, and im glad! the lad deserves his call up, it would send his confidence even higher and that surely can only mean good news for scfc

Dean Glover stands more chance of a call up. Stoke are still too unfashionable for players to be picked for England.
Beattie is a better option than Heskey or Crouch, but no doubt they will the names considered first. If it were me, I would pick Beattie and Kevin Davies before the useless Heskey and Crouch. I think Rooney would enjoy playing alongside Beattie or Davies.

I think Rooney would enjoy playing alongside Beattie or Davies. Heskey has been excellent in recent games for England and he arguably suits the way Capello's team plays better than Beattie, Davies, or even Crouch could. It's about getting the right players for your system. |

You are living in a dream land, he is not a England centre forward, decent premier league but dont get carried away, just lets hope he does it for Stoke, and keeps us in the big league.

no no and no. Its based on good form which isnt over 4 or five games its based over 10 or 11 for internationals. If you want to talk about Beattie's form then his last game against everton he was very very poor.

Post by Trouserdog on Mar 20, 2009 23:35:11 GMT
No chance of this happening now...Beattie is God-like for us in-front of goal, but his all round game isn't good enough for him to be an international.

Post by KevinWhimper on Mar 20, 2009 23:37:37 GMT
If that were the case then no one new would ever be selected because they havn't got their "10 or 11 internationals" worth of experience. What a load of bullshit. Leighton Baines isn't exactly England standard either.

yes he is lol hes been brilliant this season. Again a player who would walk into your team. I dont know how stoke fans can criticize players that are a cut above the poor quality dquad you have!
