They would be mental to get rid of him why? they've been playing nice football past few tournaments under him but they have won fuck all, thats not good enough for Germany

if it stays like this Bye bye Löw

have to get it on target there

Pirlo

glorious Forza Azzuri!

he's signed for Arsenal so naturally his form is going to pieces

once again Italian Anthem

bit of an odd one, but over last few weeks I've been seeing the moderate button now and then on the top of the forum for me, probably nothing but thought I'd let you know

how is that even possible

Drogba, Barcelona WTF

thats modric off

tough gig with their money issues

released you say.......

We've had just the same type of displays at previous tournaments when Lampard was in the side playing at his supposed peak. It's complete bollocks to think he'd have made any difference now when he's nowhere near the player he was. Don't think he'd have made much difference because we were outplayed across the field. But we lacked any composure in midfield which was actually my point. It maybe your point but it's not what you wrote. Yes it is, you've even highlighted it in bold. We needed someone else in midfield, a cool head capable of a defence splitting pass, switching the play quickly or striking from distance. Pirlo was the difference in that respect but I'm not saying Lampard would have filled that gap. It was merely another injury loss England didn't need in a tough game and Hodgson made best of what he had available. We rode our luck a bit and fought hard but we just didn't have the quality espescially in midfield. Which you said was Lampard ffs. "We missed his presence"...He "ticks the boxes" tbf he'd have been a better option off the bench than Henderson

isn't it traditional to at least ask a manager who's not in your first team plans? Also why would we loan a kid not deemed good enough by someone who we hope to be competing with next season

where are they pulling £2.5m

Clubs that have put the breaks on spend of late like Spurs and Arsenal are developing more Eng players it's a fact. Spurs have put the breaks on spending? I haven't seen the figures but in recent years I'd say they've spent more than all but a few teams. Adebayor is on loan and Modric is being sold. Kyle Walker came through as has Rose cause they haven't been instant cash heavy purchases in defence. Modric cost a bomb and his and Van der Vaart's wages would have been massive, not to mention Adebayor's. Their bench at times last season was full of expensive international talent. As Sewelly said their spending has been higher than ever. Yet still Walker broke through. Modric was 15m or so wasn't he? And Spurs do have a wage structure so while they would have been big its not Man City or Chelsea big, hell not even Arsenal big, main reason they won't sign Ade since city were paying half his wages

So now they need the rest to say yes? One of them being Celtic well thats unlikely

Balotelli must have had about half of them. he just kept on beating the offside trap, daft England didn't try and do something about it

and one more time Pirlo what a man

good effort by England, nowt to be ashamed of
