Euro 2012: Who will be in the final 23?

With the domestic season almost done and dusted, attention now turns to the Euro 2012 finals in Poland and Ukraine.

England begin their campaign against France on June 11 and Roy Hodgson's first task as the new man at the helm will be to pick his 23-man squad for the tournament.

This is where you get the chance to step into Roy's shiny shoes. We've split the list of contenders vying for a seat on the plane into four categories which you can view by clicking on the links below.

GOALKEEPERS | DEFENDERS | MIDFIELDERS | STRIKERS

But who do you think should make the squad? Would you take John Terry and Rio Ferdinand? Maybe you'd throw in a wildcard like Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. Does Grant Holt deserve a call-up? Scroll through out shortlists and then have your say in the box below.

what do you think?

Holt deserves a chance. He's scored more goals than any England player in the league this season apart from Rooney who is suspended for the first two games. GK: Hart, Foster, Ruddy DF: Terry, Cahill, Lescott, Jones, Cole, Walker, Richards MF: Gerrard, Lampard, Parker, Barry, Walcott, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Young, A Johnson ST: Rooney, Holt, Bent, Welbeck, Sturridge

Sturridge is rubbish, loves himself too much. Terry is a disgrace. And Holt?! Are you serious?!

Terry is easily England's first choice on the team sheet...if Roy doesn't pick him it's clearly the work of the FA puppet masters...

I'll bet Hudson is either a Manc or a Gooner...

Definitely Hart, been one of the best keepers in Europe this season. I think Sturridge and Chamberlain deserve a chance after this season's performance's. Also third choice keeper should go to John Ruddy for some outstanding saves, and top notch performances. GK: Hart, Foster, Ruddy DF: Cahill,Terry,Cole,Walker,Baines,Jones,Johnson MF: Gerrard,Lampard,Parker,Barry,Milner,A Johnson,Young,Oxlade-Chamberlain ST: Defoe,Crouch,Welbeck,Rooney,Sturridge

GK - Hart, Foster, Green DF - Terry, A Cole, Cahill, Walker, Simpson, Johnson, Jones MF - Gerrard, Lampard, Milner, J Cole, Young, Walcott, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Parker, A Johnson ST - Rooney, Defoe, Crouch, Welbeck Terry is first choice centre back every time, Rio shouldn't be going on form alone and not the fact he stuck his nose in to a pointless argument that doesn't concern him (no I'm not a Chelsea fan). Wild card goes to Danny Simpson, solid and consistent all season for high flying Newcastle Starting XI GK - Hart LB - A Cole RB- Walker CB - Terry CB - Jones CM - Milner CM - Lampard CM - Parker AMC - A Young ST - Defoe ST - Crouch (Rooney once ban served) Sub 1 - Foster Sub 2 - Cahill Sub 3 - Simpson Sub 4 - Gerrard Sub 5 - Walcott Sub 6 - Oxlade-Chamberlain Sub7 - Welbeck (Crouch once Rooney returns) Who needs Roy...Just employ me..:

We need to start using the squad better than we have in other tournaments, we play the same old players every game, we need to use rotation to get the best out of all the players in the squad. GK: Hart, Foster, Ruddy DF: Cahill, Jones, Lescott, Walker, Cole, Baines, Richards. MF: Parker, carrick, lampard, gerrard, barry, lennon, young, Oxlade-Chamberlain. ST: Rooney, holt, welbeck, Sturridge, crouch.
