He's been a fantastic signing for Newcastle. He should go to the Euro's. He's always been effective at international level, but England fans have never really fully accepted him as he wasn't playing well for Spurs. But Newcastles style suits him, as Englands does. What is the point on taking bigger name players like Sterling, when Townsend has proven he's well suited to international football and is now showing that form at club level? But I bet Sterling and Lallana will be picked ahead of him. Technically they are both miles ahead of Townsend, but when it comes down to simply who is the most effective in an England shirt and who has the best chance of doing something that will win us games at the Euros, Townsend has demonstrated it's him. Since he's been at Newcastle and played with the freedom he gets for England he' scored 4 and made 2 assists in 909 mins.
Sorry but how has he been always been effective at international level? He's played about 7 games hasn't he?
