is cambiasso injured or something? incredible midfielder imo, on a different planet to shit like mascherano.
i also find it interesting that riquelme and veron are still the two main candidates for the midfielder playmaker role - veron getting the nod this time. don't the argies have anyone else to assume this position or have they given up producing this type of player?
Totally agree regarding Cambiasso, fantastic player. I would have thought Aimar would be in the squad, unless he is and it's lost in translation.
For me the cuts would be: Baines, Upson, Parker, SWP, Barry, A Johnson, Heskey.
That's if Barry isn't going to be 100% fit, if he is I'd take out Huddlestone.
but why?
Looked like he grabbed Gerrard's arm/hand.
So what you mean is Gerrard punched him, and you're reading the official police report?
No, the kid tried to grab Gerrard's fist with his lips, then with the side of his face, several times.
Cleverley is out of contract so who would we be loaning him from?
He'll get another contract at Man Utd. Think they'll want him to have premiership experience rather than championship again and can see them loaning him out now Scholes has got another year (I think?)
We'll have fuck all to spend then because we'll get next to nothing for our players. Jonas and Colo might fetch 10m but we'll need that for their replacements.
Since I've been old enough to form a proper opinion:
Seaman
G Neville Terry Ferdinand Cole
Beckham Gascoigne Scholes J Cole ()
Shearer Rooney
Doesn't help I can barely remember anything about the squads before 2001 ish.
Don't even think about it
Who else is there? Brown? No. Richards hasn't played that much either. Johnson is very weak defensively, if we were leading in a game and under a bit of pressure bringing Neville on would be my first sub in place of Johnson.
Anyone else think Huddlestone might be 'on the plane'? I don't think he'll take Carrick as he's been poor and is injured I think? But I can't think who might replace him. Maybe Milner and then an extra winger.
