Given how he performed in South Africa last summer, Gareth Barry could have no complaints if he were to be placed on the England discard pile by Fabio Capello.Especially so now that Jack Wilshere has burst on to the scene, with the 19-year-old already having shown he can compete with the best, having matched Barcelona's Andres Iniesta and Xavi in a Champions League duel for his club, Arsenal.
Barry and his club, Manchester City, have yet to scale those particular heights and in all probability never will and it is entirely possible that Wilshere will start against Wales on Saturday instead of the 30-year-old.
"There is a good chance that Jack could be involved, the way he has been playing" Barry admitted.
"The more he has played this year, the more his performances have grown and his confidence has grown. In the games I have seen him play, he has been putting in some great performances.

"Hopefully there will be a chance I can play alongside him. I have never come to an England squad, or started training and expected to be in the team and I sit here today still the same.
"Obviously when players like Jack burst onto the scene, and the way they are playing, it's extra competition and it makes selection for individuals tougher. I am still training hard and hopeful to be selected. I am confident that if I am, then I can put in a good performance for my country.
