Is Sol too old for England?



Sol Campbell hasn't featured in the England squad since the poor performance during England's Euro 2008 qualifier against Croatia.

Sol is yet to feature under England boss Fabio Capello, but the gaffer reckons the Pompey centre-back has what it takes to get back in the England squad.

"Sol is in fantastic form and did the business again against a good front two in Carew and Agbonlahor," said Redknapp.

"It is only last year that Sol played for England and now has certainly come back into great form again. Hopefully he will continue playing like that.

"Sol could do a job still for England. I'd love to see him back in the England squad. I think he is still good enough. He is fit and has got terrific pace."

With jokes being made by everyone that Capello should get a season ticket at Fratton Park, with other England stars in the squad, in the form of David James, Glen Johnson, Jermain Defoe and Peter Crouch, maybe Capello will keep an eye on big Sol on his next visit.

I think Sol is a big powerful player and is playing consistently well at Pompey but he's not quite ready for England he would've been a good filler last week without Rio
