Jagten Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 I question why tom cleverly is ahead of mark davies in the pecking order. Im sure if they were to swap clubs and all that.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Things is, Cleverly is class and will likely by England's starting CM for years to come. So I can see why it makes sense to put him in. Campbell is a harder one, he could be brilliant but he needs to prove his fitness over the longer term.

Campbell is a harder one, he could be brilliant but he needs to prove his fitness over the longer term. He is class and will become a great player, but he's also only played 61 minutes of football in 2012. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but I don't think it's worth picking another random Englishman who doesn't have an international future based on that. Obviously there should be a balance between form and long-term planning, but I would lean towards building a team for the long term. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEMTEX Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Calls up Frazier Campbell but not Oxlade-Chamberlain. Righto. Calls up Theo Walcott but not Oxlade-Chamberlain is my issue. I like that he's got rid of the old cunts, but at least bring in some fun new players, not just man utd youth who've barely played. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest VaVaVoom Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 At least there's no Terry, Ferdinand or Lampard. Moving in the right direction with this. Barry shouldnt be in the squad and you could argue Gerrard shouldnt be as well. Saying that, of all the above experienced players, Gerrard would be the one id have in the squad. He should be the captain when in the squad. I think the squad looks canny really, my 11 would be... ---Hart--- Walker---Richards---Cahill---Baines Milner---Gerrard---Cleverley---Johnson Rooney---Bent Guthrie should of been called up like, would of been nice to see him in that side in the middle with Gerrard.

That's the best word to use, really. He SHOULD be so much better. But he isn't. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've given up on Theo ever achieving anything. He was a better player 5 years ago. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 I dont have an issue with Cleverly because he has a future with the national team i for one would like to see Parker-Wilshere-Cleverly in a 4-3-3 in the future. But Frazier Campbell has no future what so ever Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest johnson293 Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Tweet from Campbell... Absolutely delighted to be part of the england team. Been the longest and hardest 18 months of my life and feel truly honoured to be given a chance. Thanks for all your positive tweets means a lot! then a reply to his tweet... Coxhoe Athletic FC @Coxhoeathletic @FraizerCampbell so are we but the Mags are a tad envious #FTM http://rlv.zcache.com/green_with_envy_speckcase-p176010554325176154z8z6x_400.jpg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 It was funny, actually, because at dinner I had a look and I noticed the entirety of central Newcastle had gone a distinct shade of green. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest neesy111 Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 That is one of the worst England squad's Ive seen. Not since the dark days of Keegan have I seen a squad so poor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fenham Mag Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Even though we give Carroll a justified amount of stick, i would still have him in the squad. On his day, he is unplayable and brings something else. He is perfect for international football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
