OzzieMandias Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Craig Levein, discussing why Arteta can't play for England, on attempting to get Shola to play for Scotland: Quote "The way I understand it, the home associations have an agreement," said Levein. "I'll tell you how I know. I tried to get Shola Ameobi at Newcastle a while back [to play for Scotland], because he has not played for England but has lived in the UK and has a British passport, so I thought he might be able to play for Scotland. But we had changed the rules." Levein described the rule as "more than a gentlemen's agreement", adding: "Maybe England are thinking of challenging it but it only came in a year ago. "I just used Ameobi as an example because he was somebody who had a British passport but it fell down because he didn't have the educational qualification. I understand that it's a newsworthy story but I don't want to go into enormous detail about Arteta. All I'm saying to you is, the way I understand it, they can't cap him." http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2010/aug/30/scotlandfootballteam-craig-levein Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OzzieMandias Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 The end of Owen Hargreaves? Great shame, if so. http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/sport/markogden/100012056/owen-hargreaves-facing-his-own-black-wednesday-at-manchester-united/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segun Oluwaniyi Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 There is really only a small group of English footballers that I truly like and admire. Owen Hargreaves and Dean Ashton were two of these players. It is an absolute shame what has happened to their careers. Reminds of one of my favourite recent Nigerian players, Christoan Obodo. He's finally made his comeback (though it is in Serie B, and he'll likely never reach his old levels), but it seems there will be no such luck for these two. May they be successful in their future endeavours. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect it to be taken in the next few days now. Obviously we were still wating for Ben Arfa and for all the players to be confirmed to be here till at least January.
