Could he technically have played for anybody he wanted?

This team should just attack attack attack. That team looks very good on paper. What formation do they usually play?

Never really performed for Holland in a major tournament

Not a great squad at all really apart from Robben

You could look at it the other way that the other players from the other clubs are creating more goals because they have superior teammates

I think people's opinion is skewed by the fact that he loses the ball a lot but he was the only one once Cabaye left that showed any drive to get forward

Well he's half Brazilian ain't he? Rooney is Irish going by your logic

Helder Postiga was shit ten years ago and he's still playing for Portugal

Giovanni dos Santos is Brazilian?

I feel like I ask this of someone every month, but when has he? Firing a few crosses in against 9 knackared Stoke players aside. Not hoofing the ball every time he gets it is a step up from Dummett

Which one

good point well made

That just shows how bad we are Or that perhaps tiote is not the dog s*** footballer he's made out to be on here? Perhaps? And where did I say he was a dog s*** footballer? I might be mental but I don't think a defensive midfielder with no creativity should be our main creative outlet. Perhaps?

McClean is the one of the most headless footballers I've seen

Barton isn't good enough for the Premier League. Kranjcar has been terrible as well. I like Jordi Gomez but he's proven it many times before he's not cut to make it in this league. I'm not talking top half teams or anything but they are definitely good enough for the likes of Palace, Hull etc.

The quality in this is f***ing awful. Mahoney, Barton, Gomes and Kranjcar look the only ones who are good enough for the premier league

That Austin guy has been terrible second half

Awful pen

First bit of decent play in the second half

Wigan wouldn't be bad if they had a striker

QPR getting beaten by a team with James McClean playing as their striker

That just shows how bad we are

Agree. He must have the pick of Europe pretty much. What makes you think that? Because he's 18 and someone has just offered £27m for him. You don't think he'd be an attractive prospect to other successful clubs? Maybe if he was being bought for 15 million. I don't think he'd get a start for many successful clubs in England and Europe straight away apart from Liverpool

Bit strange that Gibbs doesn't seem to even be in the reckoning for this squad. He's better than Shaw at this moment in time IMO
