I think that England have a huge pool of talent in the outfield positions but our achilles heel is the goalkeeper. I don't see anyone at the moment who could lace the boots of the likes of Banks, Shilton, Seaman etc.
Funnily enough, I think his distribution is his strength.

His shot stopping is bang average for me. He pulls off the odd worldy but then he has been at fault for a couple of long range shots this season which he should have saved.

And the command of his box is terrible.

As others have said, there is a dearth of English keepers at the moment so he probably has done enough to be a squad player for England.

Anything £10m+ and I would sell him and bring Palmer in
