Having watched Bent a lot I don't think he has the quality of touch needed for regular top class international football.

Unfortunately the situation isn't going to change overnight. A change of manager for some is the way forward but it's the palyers of quality at International level that will make the difference, something that we don't have in abundance at the moment. It'll take us another 5 years at least to achive even a nominal amount of success.

I'd rather keep him as a fringe player until he becomes the finished article. Too often England are taking on rough diamonds into the squad thinking they're the next michael Owen and stunting their development. I hope that's not what they do with Andy Carroll because whilst he is a good player, there shouldn't really be the doting on him that was going on throughout the game last night and comparisons to Shearer until he's done something consistently at the highest level that warrants it.
I agree with your other picks mind you. I'd like to see Moses getting into the squad when he starts becoming a regular starter at Wigan but again, not if it's going to stunt the lad.
