Will it really be a Dream team?

Amidst all the talk over Beckham's loan deal to Tottenham, the Daily Mirror have reported that 'Harry and Becks lined up as our 2014 dream team'. Dream team, really?

As good as a role model Beckham might be to the younger players and how well Spurs are doing in the Premier League at present, I am not convinced and I will tell you why.

Away from all the abstract talk of 'because Harry is English he can inspire the team' and so on, reality is what we should consider. The Reality is you cannot spend millions on players for your national team, as Harry has done at Spurs, you deal with what you are given and in England's case it is not much.

Say what you like about Capello, but it was not his fault for our poor showing in the World Cup, he did what he could with an overrated team. That was cruise through an easy group and struggle when it comes to the big tournament. We have a limited amount of players of an international standard to pick from, and they are not of a high international standard.

I do not think Harry will do any better than Capello because I do not think he is a better manager. You may say his man-management compare to Mr Fabio will be key, but I say it won't matter. Without the quality players we will not succeed and that comes down to player development and teams in the Premier
League actually bringing young English 'talent' through. Unfortunately that rarely happens.

I'll also say if Harry Redknapp and David Beckham do take over the England I will love to be proven wrong.
