I'm not sure that Wellbeck not being too poor is a reason to keep him in the national team at the world cup.
From what I have heard, Wellbeck ended up being used to supplement a weakness in the English full-back area, which considering the reported injury he suffered in training, was surely a task for a fully-fit player.

I would drop Rooney without doubt, but the FA think he's god so that won't happen..

In the immortal words of Kevin Keegan,
"don't you just love it" when the nonsensical media hype that was epitomised by the Sun issuing printed matter to 22 million households sees their xenophobic "bubbles being pricked" once again.

"Will Henman win it this year ?"....
