Agree completely with this.
Imagine if the England team that went to the Euros was supplemented with some of the best that the rest of the country had to offer.
Bellamy, Bale and Ramsey would have been a massive improvement to that team.
Would have given it the pace and ability on the ball that they sorely missed.
Also the talent drain that's facing Northern Irish football with any player of note invoking the Good Friday agreement ruling to switch allegiance to Republic would stop as anyone that was good enough for the British team would want to play at the very highest level.
I would be 100% for such an amalgamation.

there's no way Bellamy or especially Ramsey would walk into the England team, maybe the squad at a push given some of their injuries
Gareth Bale on the other hand is already, in my opinion, one of the most talented 5/6 players in the world, just hope he can do the business even more consistently for both Spurs and more importantly Wales

They would have walked into that squad they took to the Euros. Ramsey is far better than Henderson and Bellamy is far better than Downing.
