James Tomkins
Despite starting the season as our third choice centre back, James Tomkins has taken advantage of injuries to counterparts Angelo Ogbonna and Winston Reid to cement his place in our starting line-up.
On his day he can be rock solid but inconsistency and proneness to injury has tarred his career thus far.
England, however, are struggling for centre backs and surely he would be a better option than Phil Jones, who has not been getting game time at Manchester United this season.
Verdict – Outside chance.

Great read and whilst I agree that they may not warrant a place in England sides of old the current crop being played are very weak and when I watched the game on Friday I felt all of these players could have given as good as or better account of themselves than those currently holding down a place. How Woy can replace a defensive midfielder of Carrick with Lingard who from what I know is more of a wide player defies logic even before you look at the fact the kid has played 3 premiership games. This surely had to be a time to bring in Noble? Contradicting myself here a bit but I don’t think Noble will be in the West Ham side much longer but in the England set up we don’t have a Song, Kouyate, Obiang, Moses, Lanzini, Zarate or a Payet. And given the fact Carrick will be 34 at the time of the Euros why is he even in the squad for the warm ups? Woy is an enigma I personally don’t think has a clue.
