dubai_phil Posted 12 October, 2011 Share Posted 12 October, 2011 Could Rickie play for England? Yes Well, let's face it, Nick Easter, Jonhy Wilkinson & the rest were pretty damned awful Joking aside? Still yes. In a team playing the way we do and with Rooney suspended then yes, but playing the way Capello does.... Don't be silly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micky Posted 12 October, 2011 Share Posted 12 October, 2011 Am I the only person who thinks Kelvin Davis is in with the best chance of getting a call up? You don't post on here very often do you? About as frequently as you get out per chance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayrivers Posted 13 October, 2011 Share Posted 13 October, 2011 You don't post on here very often do you? About as frequently as you get out per chance? I think you're mistaking what I'm saying. My original arguement was if there were injuries to a couple of Goalkeepers, and you have Stockdale as the third choice keeper? I don't think he's ever going to play in a game for England. And it was more if he had gone to West Ham as well. I don't think it is that much of a crazy suggestion. Yes probably too late now. But we seem to have a lack of reliable English Keepers. I think we've always been very lucky to have him in recent years, expecially when we dropped down to League One. Maybe I was a little eager in my original suggestion.

Supersubpuckett Posted 13 October, 2011 Share Posted 13 October, 2011 No - I think some people are getting lost in Saints-land where all our players are secretly much better than everyone else realises.

Super_Uwe Posted 13 October, 2011 Share Posted 13 October, 2011 I watched the Scotland game the other night and CMS actually did look very good against the likes of Puyol, Pique etc. Of course it's hard to judge it completely on that game as it was effectively a training match for the Spanish having already qualified. But he certainly didn't look out of place at all. However I can't see Rickie getting a call-up any time soon to be honest. I think he would fit in very well at international level, but the problem is that he has never played in the top flight and so is already at a disadvantage when compared with the "second-tier" strikers that England have got (like Welbeck, Zamora etc), let alone the likes of Rooney, Crouch, Bent etc. Going back to KD though - all I can say is that if David Stockdale is good enough to be number 3 for England, then he can't be a million miles from getting an emergency call-up!

captain sensible Posted 13 October, 2011 Share Posted 13 October, 2011 Fact of the matter is that if we make it to the Prem, and he is banging them in as regurlarly as he has in the Championship and League 1.....he can't be ignored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Secret Site Agent Posted 13 October, 2011 Share Posted 13 October, 2011 Why don't you stop pussy-footing around and tell us what you really think? Yes, I believe that Richard Lambert should play for the England team. I believe he would work his testicle off, would score 3 goals, (One from distance, one with his head and one from the free kick), and would be dropped for Crouch as it is embarrasing that he is able to show them up. And stick Adam Lallana on the wing, and Kelv in goal. And stick it up them. Here is a question. In cup games against 'weaker' teams, most clubs field a second eleven, if you will. How about the next time we play, say, Tonga, or Belgium, or Micronesia, we have the england team consisting of Championship players? Good Idea, or shall I get my coat?

I think we've always been very lucky to have him in recent years, expecially when we dropped down to League One. Maybe I was a little eager in my original suggestion. You're probably correct in that he is too good for league one, he's also relatively safe and reliable in this league - but international football - I think not. I'm actually a great fan of Kelvins - many would have gone and sat on West Hams bench (arguably for a lot more money than we were paying), but he chose to stay, gamble and play. I hope he is royally rewarded for that commitment with games in the Premier League, but even then I think that if we got there - we might assess certain positions - one of which would be his. Love his loyalty and passion for the game and the club - but that 'aint gonna get him into the international setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Cool Posted 13 October, 2011 Share Posted 13 October, 2011 If selected, I don't think Rickie would let the side down. However, his selection is about as likely as the Queen smelling the fart I've just done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itchen_block4 Posted 14 October, 2011 Share Posted 14 October, 2011 Will he ever get a fair chance to impress? Very unlikely. Could he do a job in an improbable striking crisis? Most definately. Many point to his lack of pace. It's true that he isn't conventionally quick, but he's no slouch either since Adkins et al got him into shape. Teddy Sheringham was never that quick either but he used his intelligence and physicality to good effect. Lambert is the same. Crouch can't do 100m in 10 seconds either. He is sharp, he can play and he can score, that's the important bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 4 June, 2014 Author Share Posted 4 June, 2014 Entirely a hypothetical musing but watching Mackail-Smith do a decent enough job for the Scots tonight made me wonder whether Rickie could ever step up to international football level? Not by any stretch of the imagination saying he should be picked ahead of Rooney' date=' Bent, Sturridge, Defoe or whoever but just a simple thought: could he cut it for England if there was a striker shortage and he was picked? I definitely believe he'll outscore Mackail-Smith in the Championship this year but could he do a job for an international side as CMS is clearly doing?[/quote'] Wow, well that turned out to be more than just a hypothetical musing. Good job Rickie & I am clearly IKT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
