    I would what the odds are on a Stones/Holgate CB partnership for England at some point.

    It would be nice for that to happen. But saying that I don't think Holgate is anywhere near the level of Stones at the same age.
    There's a lot more work to be done with him.

    By the standard of the England squad I don't think he needs to be.

    No scrub that my dad says Mark was selected but didn't play.

    Holgate's a class act. He got under rated on here because of the way he left. With the lack of English defenders & Jagielka & Jones' injury records it wouldn't be the biggest shock in the world if he got a call up to the first team at some point in the next season or two

    With Big Sam at the helm I think Holgate might have a better chance than Stones at England centre back , Allardyce isn't going to mess about with tippy tappy from the back
