triggs Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Schurrle assisted Gotze for the winner in the 2014 WC final. Schurrle retired at 29 and Gotze without a club at 28 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wullie Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 If you'd asked me this morning how old Andre Schurrle and Michail Antonio were, I'd have said about 34 and 25 respectively. Turns out the latter is older. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wullie Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 Was he seriously one of the best defenders never to play for England? Definitely. He was captain and basically ever present in a team that won 3 PL titles. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was captain and basically ever present in a team that won 3 PL titles. Competition for the England spots must be high at that time. Who was he up against - Adams, Keown? Going off Euro 96 - Adams, Southgate, Keown, Howey, S Campbell, J Scales, Pallister, Bould (?), Unsworth, D Watson, M Wright That’s all I can think of Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRD Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 Aye, remember Adams and Keown (with Bould as backup) being the cornerstone of Arsenal's defence. Then there's Southgate and Campbell. Surprising that he didn't even get one look-in as captain of Man Utd though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Away Day Gadgie Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 Was he seriously one of the best defenders never to play for England? Definitely. He was captain and basically ever present in a team that won 3 PL titles. Competition for the England spots must be high at that time. Who was he up against - Adams, Keown? His centre-back partner Gary Pallister got in before him as he was better. He was also up against the likes of Des Walker and Mark Wright earlier on. Tough competition! He was probably worth a place in the squad and a few caps but would’ve never been a regular i don’t think. I’m sure even Keith Curle got a couple of caps, he was basically just a thug who could run fast. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure even Keith Curle got a couple of caps, he was basically just a thug who could run fast. Was one of the best at the time. If we had him instead of Peacock in 94/95/96 we'd probably have 2 recent titles. Must have been some underlying attitude issue to not even get a call up considering some of the dross that was called up. Yes there was plenty of good competition, but mentioned before he was the mainstay of a defence in the most successful team of the time. It would have been like not calling up Ferdinand or Terry through the 00s Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interpolic Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 Was it not because he was a bit of a no-nonsense defender and was up against players who could play a bit? Even in the 90s there was a sense that international football was different to club football and required a bit more finesse all over the pitch. Regardless it is obviously weird that Bruce didn't pick up at least a few caps, but I guess that's what will happen if you get a run of a few managers that don't fancy you.

geordie_b Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 Does anyone know when Leeds become classed as a Premier League team? There has been speculation about them being taken over by Qatar for ages but wondering when that takeover would be subject to the Premier League and not EFL tests Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
