    Okay, I'm not sure this is 100% accurate still but here's one: Name four English players that have been bought for over £7m but have never played international football.

    There may be more but at the time I read the article there were four, that was this time last year.

    Connor Wickham was expensive enough, not sure of the price but I reckon it was over 7m anyway.

    Davies and Jeffers both played for England. Pennant went for 6.5m according to figures I can find so he's not one.

    Wickham is correct and there are actually 5. I hadn't counted him on my original list so still 4 more to get.

    Nigel Reo-Coker was expensive in his day, think it was near to £10 million that was paid for him and I don't think he's played for England yet.

    I think the late Dean Richards never played for England either, just under age.

    EDIT: I think Reo-Coker played in a friendly a few years back.

    Dean Richards is correct. As is Reo-Coker, as far as I know. I don't think he ever played for England.

    Two more to get.

    Did Chris Sutton ever play for England? I remember him refusing England Bs at one point and he went to Chelsea for £10m.

    Great shout, I never even thought of him but he went for £6m. Still one to go.

    Because when you zoom in there is trophy there in the background that looks a bit like the Jules Rimet trophy.

    Not Turner. He cost between 4 and 6 million depending on where you source your figures.

    That's a good shout, I did check him out before posting and found that he went for £6m but Wiki says it was 'believed to be in the region of £7m' so I'll give you that one. Still (at least) one more to get.

    So far we've got Wickham, Reo-Coker, Ferdinand, Richards and Rodriguez.

    Clue: Until recently Carl Cort was on this list but he made his way off it in a manner which this player could also conceivably do.

    Cort plays for Guyana, so this guy has double nationality?

    Edit; Curtis Davis? He's been in the English squad but not sure if that counts as a cap if he never played?

    Yes. He's highly unlikely to ever play for England but could play for another country.

    Arsenal, Villa, Middlesborough, Sunderland, Lazio and Roma are amongst the teams to have done this once.

    Barcelona and Newcastle have done it twice.

    Napoli have done it three times.

    Real Madrid, Inter and AC Milan have done it four times.

    Juventus are so far the only team to have done it five times.

    Real were the last team to do it.

    What is it?

    Also, the team isn't Brazil.
