Yeah I always forget that about Bale. No offense to the Welsh intended.
I have seen Stockdale play have been impressed by him. He has been called by England but was never given a true chance whether for club or country, but I am convinced that the potential is there
I think I'd leave Sturridge out and get in Defoe, and Carson out for Ruddy. Apart from that, I guess it'd be the same. Its somewhat unfortunate that Wilshere is out injured, or he'd have gotten in. Unfortunately, I doubt if any of our modified version of the squad will be "enough"
