The Three Players who have to be on England's Euro 2012 plane

With the new year only a matter of weeks away, the new Premier League season has begun to produce some of England's brightest young talents. With the 'golden generation' of England players now fading away into memory, we must now look to the new breed of England stars, and a few of them are making a name for themselves. The three players I have chosen to look at, are slowly becoming the star players at their clubs, and only a fairly idiotic manager would leave them out of their squad, but then again Capello has proved us wrong before, the name Heskey rings a bell in that respect.

1. Daniel Sturridge:

The Loan spell at Bolton last year seems to have done absolute wonders to Chelsea's new star man, and his new found ability on wing and a good left foot is something England have been needing, and his goalscoring abilities far outweigh that of Theo Walcott or Stewart Downing, who constantly struggle to find the net for England. Sturridge at the moment for me is Chelsea's best player and his pace and finishing abilities could be key for England to succeed in the summer, and if it were me Sturridge would be on the plane way before Walcott, Young or Downing, but unfortunately its not my decision.

2. Phil Jones:

The 19 year old probably was not expecting all the first team football he is getting, but at his tender age he has adapted to first team football at Manchester United better than anyone I have ever seen. His versatility is unquestionably impressive, while his prescence on the ball and determination are something England need whether it's in defence or midfield. His performance in midfield against Spain showed he is easily capable to perform against the best even when out of position, and with the great Sir Alex Ferguson nurturing him, combined with the decline of John Terry and Rio Ferdinand, for me Jones has to be on that plane and in time we could be looking at the future England captain.

3. Kyle Walker:

People have been crying out to add Micah Richards to the England squad, but for me it's Tottenham's new found star Kyle Walker that should be the first choice right-back. The sheer attacking flair of Walker is combined with his sheer quality in his defensive duties is something England have been searching for on the right side of their defence. While Johnson and Richards are both decent right-backs, for me they don't have the all round package that Walker offers, and to leave him out of the Euro 2012 squad, would be a huge mistake on behalf of Fabio Capello.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
