LEDLEY KING doesn’t have to justify his talent to anybody. Assured and comfortable in possession, imposing and dominant in the air, and good enough to play as a holding midfielder; when he plays, Tottenham seldom get beat.
His inclusion in the England squad has raised a few question marks though. If King is unable to train, how will this affect the team? If, for example, he is unable to take part in various set-piece drills, and adapting to different systems, surely he can only become a liability if called upon.
Another interesting conundrum is this. If Joleon Lescott trains well all week, but King is chosen to start without taking part in training at all, how will Lescott feel? Could the decision be a recipe for discontent? That is why Mr Capello is paid such a handsome salary, to make these decisions, and more importantly, to get them right.
