Andy Carroll's camp say the Liverpool striker should be going to the U21 Euros with England.
Carroll is ready to tell Reds boss Kenny Dalglish that he wants to wear the Three Lions in Denmark.
A Merseyside source close to Carroll told the People: "Andy has had one fall-out with Stuart Pearce about a misunderstanding over an injury this season and he does not want another one."
The Kop source added: "Surely Andy is better off spending five weeks away with England in the summer than going off on holiday with his Geordie mates.
"Andy is a bit different from Wilshere. He has just returned to the action after being out for over two months and really he has not played much football at all this year.
"So if Fabio Capello and Stuart Pearce want him in the Under-21 squad he is happy to go. Andy knows he is not the finished article and wants to become a better player.
"He feels that going away with England at any level can help him achieve this."
