razza699 Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 People are calling our players spoilt!? From the BBC: It's all kicking off in the Mexican camp. They left out Barca youngster Jonathan from their 23-man squad, much to the disgust of big brother Giovani, who is on the plane. Here's the duo's dad, former Brazilian footballer Zizinho: "Gio is very hurt and he wants to be at home with us. We don't know if he will play in the World Cup or not."

razza699 Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 1250: If that Darren Bent story is true and if Fabio Capello is working his way through the players positionally, then we're desperately close to an official announcement. If he's doing it alphabetically, we're not even remotely near. Is this the most uselessly speculative entry yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilStarbucksSilkySkills Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 (edited) SSN is saying that Walcott is out. I'd be very disappointed if this is true. Edited June 1, 2010 by PhilStarbucksSilkySkills Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

razza699 Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Walcott def out We can confirm that Theo Walcott has been omitted by Fabio Capello. Meanwhile the plot thickens below as the Northern Echo suggest Manchester City winger Adam Johnson is not in the squad either, while NOTW's Neil Ashton is now saying Shaun Wright-Phillips has made the final 23.

Lookers_Carl Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Very harsh on Adam Johnson, I would have also preferred Baines over Warnock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Back Ronnie Moore Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Both Baines and Walcott played themselves out of the squad with their performances against Mexico and Japan (for Walcott). Just seeing Baines against Mexico confirmed to me that international level is a stretch too far for him. He looked shakey no composure and made some bad decisions. After that he didn't even need to see Warnock to know he's a better option. Glad to see me Capello are on the same wavelength when it comes to Walcott, no end product, no conviction. SWP all the way.

garcon Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 I'm afraid I can't envisage SWP coming on and turning a match for england either, but his experience and marginally better end product give him the nod over Walcott, who has just looked completely out of his depth in his last few England appearances. Lennon is streets ahead of both of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Back Ronnie Moore Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 (edited) I reckon Bent will retire from international. He can't do anything more to get into the England squad. In 2006 he was the top scoring English striker and was left out for a 17 year old with no Premiership experience. This season he's the 3rd top scorer in the Premiership and has been omitted for a fat guy who scored 3 times. We don't need Heskey, we have Peter Crouch to be the big awkward freak these days, and he scores. Heskey will contribute nothing. Bent just hasn't been given a fair crack of the whip and in both World Cup seasons he's come up trumps in the Premiership. If he hasn't been picked these two times around when he's prime, it's unlikely he'll make the squad the next time. He should just forget about England and concentrate on his club, no point travelling half way around Europe in the qualifiers, just to sit on the bench and miss out in the finals.

garcon Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 I felt really sorry for Bent in that first half against Japan. I know the whole team was gash, but he had one ball that was even close to being of any use to him. One ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Back Ronnie Moore Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 So much for Capello picking players who are playing regularly and are in form. Adam Johnson is keeping SWP out of the City team. Heskey is a bench warmer at Villa. Yet our second most in form player is waved off. If any striker should have been sweating on his place (other than Heskey) it should have been Defoe. No goals in his final 12 Premiership games as well as being injured for a period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

24hoursfromtulsehill Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 If Bent doesn't go he's been absolutely robbed! I wouldn't take him simply because he missed two pens in a game against his former club. Bottled it. He also scored two goals in the game, but I just wouldn't trust him.
