If England were to replicate Spain.....

[C C Csiders]

.....which of our players most resemble their Spanish counterparts in style and the way they play the game in a 4-6-0 or 4-3-3:

Spain
Casillas
Arbeloa
Sergio Ramos
Pique
Jordi Alba
Xavi
Busquets
Xabi Alonso
Iniesta
Fabregas
David Silva

The English Pique would be Gary Cahill; the English Xavi would be Jack Wilshere; the English Busquets would be Tom Huddlestone; The English David Silva would be Scott Sinclair. Any suggestions? The players don't necessarily have to be good!

 

[Voice of Reason]

Hart (there really is no one else)

Arbeloa - Walker (quick, but also technically very good and doesn't constantly fall over the ball like Richards and Johnson)
Sergio Ramos - Caulker ( Showed at Swansea last season what a top player he is going to be. Loves playing the ball to feet and is quick and powerful)
Pique - Smalling (great feet and good in the air. Really needs to push on next season though and learn from Rio)
Jordi Alba - Gibbs (If it wasn't for injuries I think he would be pushing Ashley Cole already)

Xavi - Leon Britton (pass, move, pass, move, pass, move, pass, move)
Busquets - Jake Livermore (Can't really think of anyone else. Really impressed me in his appearances for Tottenham last season and is the only real ball winner coming through of any note)
Xabi Alonso - Tom Huddlestone (The quarter back, enough said)

Iniesta - Leon Osman (putting anyone in for Iniesta is a crime, but Osman is a cracking player and so underrated for me)
Fabregas - Jack Wilshere (The only real hope for English football over the next 2 or 3 years)
David Silva - Adam Johnson (skill, drive, flair and goals. Just what England have been missing since Joe Cole lost his way)
