Danny Graham, Nathan Dyer and Scott Sinclair could be set for international honours is the claim of Swansea manager Brendan Rodgers<\/p>\n
Sinclair has already represented his country at Under-21 level but that could change to senior honours in the eyes of Rodgers and he sees no reason why Danny Graham and Nathan Dyer cannot join him at that level.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve got three players at the top end of the field who, if they keep performing, can play for England,\u201d said Rodgers.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf we keep performing how we are now they will be on the radar for sure.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m sure England are going to take Wayne Rooney to the European Championships.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut, if you look at Danny\u2019s movement, how he plays the game and the fact that he will get goals at this level means come the end of the season there might be some glances at him in that central role.<\/p>\n
\u201cScott, as well, is a player with great quality.<\/p>\n
\u201cA great example of the fear Scott has put into defenders is our first goal against Bolton last Saturday.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe ball arrives with Joe Allen, and Scott is far out wide, but attracts two players to go with him and that gives space to Joe.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn addition to that he is a specialist penalty taker. When you go to championships and big competitions those are the types of players who can go on and win games for you.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf it\u2019s goals and performances you want then those three have been a catalyst for us.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe success on the field will get people coming here to look at them.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are new into the league so maybe they are looking at other players at the moment, but it will be hard not to take notice of us as a team.<\/p>\n
\u201cPeople will look at us and see we play like a big team. Other players may play for a team who play in a standard way with a different idea.<\/p>\n
\u201cCoaches might wonder if they can play in an international team because international football is a highly technical and tactical game, as well as a mental one.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou only have to look at how we play, it shows they can play at a big level.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo I don\u2019t think it will hinder them, if anything it will help them. It can make them jump there quicker because of the style of the team.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe modern game is very much based on the midfield area and how you can control that zone.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere are very few teams doing it with a standard 4-4-2 formation, especially at international level.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou can see how our players handle the ball.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou have to be able to play with the ball and our players can do that.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
