World Cup 2014: 5 Alternatives To Theo Walcott For England
4. Tom Ince
Tom Ince is a talent that we have known about for some time. Like Redmond, he has starred for the England U21 team and there are certainly those who think he should get a chance with the senior side. The player is 21 years old now, and many people would say that he is the perfect replacement for Theo Walcott. The potential problem for Hodgson here is that the attacking midfielder currently plays his football in the Championship with Blackpool. However, with the transfer window open that will not necessarily still be the case at the end of this month. Its probably fair to say that Ince isnt exactly taking the Championship by storm just now, but this seasons stats are still impressive enough. The really important stuff is he has scored seven goals and assisted six from his 20 league starts. Furthermore, he takes 2.8 shots, 2.1 key passes and dribbles 1.4 times in every league game. Ince also has the versatility to play in a number of different positions.
