UpweySaint Posted 3 February, 2013 Share Posted 3 February, 2013 A friendly, no real pressure, one of if not the in form englsih striker as it stands ... i'd love to see it and it'd make sense but im sceptical.

Miltonaggro Posted 3 February, 2013 Share Posted 3 February, 2013 Probably Carroll. That's how ****ing silly the situation is! When Platini managed that great French side he stated that he picked players on form not on age. At the time this methodology was mooted to get Jimmy Case in the England side, but that never happened either!... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpweySaint Posted 3 February, 2013 Share Posted 3 February, 2013 To be fair to Carroll he has looked, imho, more then decent in an England shirt however I think he's not in form and Hodgson knows exactly what he brings to the table. It's a friendly, surely it'd be worth seeing what RL could bring to the set up? One would hope ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint_clark Posted 3 February, 2013 Share Posted 3 February, 2013 Hopefully Anichebe will get a call up, he looks a real talent and he's different to any other English striker right now...he's the kind of striker Welbeck tries to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint_clark Posted 3 February, 2013 Share Posted 3 February, 2013 99% he qualifies as Nigerian. Oooooops! I knew he was born there but didn't realise he had played for them. My bad.

Lighthouse Posted 3 February, 2013 Share Posted 3 February, 2013 (edited) Carroll cost £35m and used to play for Liverpool Sturridge cost £12m and plays for Liverpool Welbeck plays for Man Utd Rooney plays for Man Utd No way Rickie will get in ahead of that lot, even if his goal record is equal to the first 3 put together.

toofarnorth Posted 3 February, 2013 Share Posted 3 February, 2013 Am I the only one absolutely fine with Rickie not being picked for England. I want him to get a break and not get injured.

Restark19 Posted 3 February, 2013 Share Posted 3 February, 2013 Am I the only one absolutely fine with Rickie not being picked for England. I want him to get a break and not get injured. Could be the difference between relegation and not. I agree with this but I think it would be good for him to have his achievements recognised. Playing for England would likely be the biggest achievement of his career. I don't want him to be a regular but a 15 minute cameo in a friendly would be brilliant. Might also help end the bias against unfashionable clubs.

SNSUN Posted 3 February, 2013 Share Posted 3 February, 2013 The ridiculousness of the situation is that it WILL probably be someone like Andy Carroll called up, despite the fact he's had a lengthy lay off and has done next to sod all this season. There are one or two strikers I think would be called up before Lambert sadly, although I'd LOVE it if he did get a call up - even if he probably wouldn't see turf.

Saint_Tony Posted 4 February, 2013 Share Posted 4 February, 2013 He deserves it, even if it's just for one game. Perhaps he might have had a chance if it was against a lesser side than Brazil.

Smirking_Saint Posted 4 February, 2013 Share Posted 4 February, 2013 How old is Rickie now ? 31 ? He is too old for the England team TBH Im sick and tired of older players getting in the squad anyways. There is Rooney, Welbeck, Walcott, Carroll and probably Sturridge. The fact that Woy will go witha maximum of 2 strikers means itll be two out of three (walcott, Rooney, welbeck) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saints-cris Posted 4 February, 2013 Share Posted 4 February, 2013 I'd be surprised if he does, hes not young enough to get in Woy's side. Welbeck is pretty average for me, Ricky has done far, far more than he will all season but that won't mean anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rshephard3 Posted 4 February, 2013 Share Posted 4 February, 2013 If Sturridge, Welbeck or Carroll played for SFC they'd never have been in an England squad between them. There is no excuse for managers not to pick the top scoring English forward but ala Darren Bent at Charlton, James Beattie at Saints etc it doesn't happen. It's a bit embarrassing for the managers that they are swayed so much by who counts as a "big name" or a "fashionable choice" but that's life. We'd rather he wasn't distracted before the weekend anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a nonsense! Its a complete fallacy that he is too old. The England squad at the moment is being prepared for the World Cup which is next year. This is not "buikding for the future". He is not too old for the 2014 WC. 2016 Euros different, but surely even England are not using the WC as preparation for the Euros. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david in sweden Posted 4 February, 2013 Share Posted 4 February, 2013 If (the England manager) is stubborn enough not to pick him ..on grounds of age....or whatever, so what. England will get massacred anyway.....Don't worry Rickie, IMHO..... it's a good game to miss. Historical note; in the mid 1970's... at the height of his success, Mick Channon was dropped by the then) England manager ...(Revie?) and playing without him England were appauling, and lost badly in a very poor game. Though we were all disappointed beforehand...in retrospect it was a good game NOT to be involved in. If England play as poorly as I expect (v Brazil), Rickie may well be in even greater demand ..later on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
