I think the debate about him will go on forever, like a certain other Chelsea starlet( Michael woods<)) i think he has had 5 months of limited action, does that really warrant a place in this side, compared to others... If he really was that good, he would be here. But the fact remiains, Henderson, Clev, Rodwell, Muamba are all better.
Better, but different players. Henderson's an athletic box to boxer (from what I've seen, which I admit isn't much), Cleverley is far more effective higher up the pitch (and probably warrants a start there) and Rodwell and Muamba are destroyers without McEachran's passing range and vision.
What England seem to be lacking is a link man, a deep-lying playmaker who can link with the attacking bands. McEachran would do that well.
