World Cup 2014: 5 Alternatives To Theo Walcott For England
3. Nathan Dyer
Its a little bit tricky to recommend the Swansea City winger just at the moment because he is currently injured. However, he is expected to make his return to action in early February and should be able to get his form and sharpness back well in time for the World Cup. Dyer is now 26 years old, but has not represented England at any level. In my opinion, he did deserve to be given a chance during the Swans first season in the Premier League, but it was ultimately something that didnt materialise. This season Dyer has been in decent form prior to his injury that has seen the player score four goals from his 11 starts, but he is yet to provide an assist for his club during this campaign. Other important stats for Dyer this season includes 1.4 shots and 1.6 dribbles per match. Unlike Redmond and Ince, Dyer would offer the manager less options as he typically plays as a right winger. However, having a player that nails down a particular position isnt always a bad thing when you want a settled side or knowing the best way to utilise someone.
