Batman Posted 21 May, 2013 Posted 21 May, 2013 NO WAY he will probably not call anyone up. probably call up darren bent ahead of lambert West ham have (apparently) agreed a £15m fee with liverpool for the horse
Jimmy_D Posted 21 May, 2013 Posted 21 May, 2013 That last goal to take him as joint top English goalscorer, and the fact you can compare his style of play to Carroll's, means he has the tiniest little chance, but I doubt it.
Dazza82 Posted 21 May, 2013 Posted 21 May, 2013 He is the only real choice to replace him, so they wont call anyone up to replace Carroll
david in sweden Posted 21 May, 2013 Posted 21 May, 2013 Hodgson's got no idea. He's picked three strikers who haven't got 15 goals between them ..and ignored Rickie... If he's" planning for the future " with this young squad ....someone ought to remind him that the World Cup is next year........the mob he's picked are (un)likely to be ready for 2018..... let alone by next summer.
VectisSaint Posted 21 May, 2013 Posted 21 May, 2013 Might make more sense to call up J-Rod, at least he fits in with the young player idea. Given Rickie also has a back problem does anyone really think that it would be good for Saints calling him up for meaningless friendly internationals.
Smirking_Saint Posted 21 May, 2013 Posted 21 May, 2013 NO WAY he will probably not call anyone up. probably call up darren bent ahead of lambert West ham have (apparently) agreed a £15m fee with liverpool for the horse 15m isnt far away from what I see his true value TBH. He really isnt as bad as people make out and is pretty effective at whathe does. I dont like what he does, but it is effective.

You are talking about the striker thats looked pretty abject apart from one goal in the last X games ? Maybe Lambert is the next choice, but our future is around sturridge, welbeck, walcott and rooney. (And possibly carroll)
Giordano Posted 21 May, 2013 Posted 21 May, 2013 there was more chance of cork replacing cleverly than srl replacing carroll....and it looks like that chance has walked now that rodwell has scored 2 goals in his latest comeback....

UpweySaint Posted 21 May, 2013 Posted 21 May, 2013 Worth a shout at least as a part of a friendly squad should he be fit but would not be surprised to see Roy look elsewhere. Incidently the timing of the friendly has produced more withdrawals then normal. I understand friendlies have their purpose but, at some point, it almost seems more logical Hodgson simply having a week with the squad at the s****y new facility. Can run drills, talk tactics, have a first hand look at a few players and give the core a chance to bond. Also he'd not be limited by numbers and could have a look at a few of the options on the fringes, a couple of ours could be included in that bracket. All opinion of course either way I imagine i'l happily find myself watching the friendly all the same
Smirking_Saint Posted 21 May, 2013 Posted 21 May, 2013 some future that is Rooney, Sturridge and Welbeck ? All good players with potential
Smirking_Saint Posted 21 May, 2013 Posted 21 May, 2013 there was more chance of cork replacing cleverly than srl replacing carroll....and it looks like that chance has walked now that rodwell has scored 2 goals in his latest comeback.... Dont necessarily mind Cleverley being in there but yeah, for me Clyne and Cork should have been there instead of Rodwell and Johnson. (Though with more games I see Rodwell being a V good player)
Appy Posted 21 May, 2013 Posted 21 May, 2013 Rooney, Sturridge and Welbeck ? All good players with potential Sturridge is, Rooney is hardly young now and i'm not convinced by Welbeck.
Sour Mash Posted 21 May, 2013 Posted 21 May, 2013 Anyone who has seen Lambert's post-match interview from Sunday will tell you he really doesn't look like he'd want a call up. He was basically saying 'I'm mentally knackered from this season and just want to lie by the pool for a month'.
Smirking_Saint Posted 21 May, 2013 Posted 21 May, 2013 Sturridge is, Rooney is hardly young now and i'm not convinced by Welbeck. Welbeck is a good player, I would ignore the haters, he definately excites me when he plays, Raw but with real talent. Sturridge will hopefully kick on now he is at Liverpool, explosive and technical, has a predatory instinct, will have a good year next year. Rooney was never blessed with pace anyway, getting older wont affect him too much and he is only 27
Appy Posted 21 May, 2013 Posted 21 May, 2013 As others have said, Lambert's current form doesn't warrant a call up and he is clearly shattered, he wouldn't turn it down as such, but a call up isn't what he needs right now as above.

Smirking_Saint Posted 21 May, 2013 Posted 21 May, 2013 I think Rooney leaving United will do him good as well. I dont get where his head is at TBH, when he turns it on he is brilliant but I think he wants to be top dog somewhere, he burst onto the scene and the Ronnie took his thunder. Now its RVP. He doesnt want to play midfield but he is so versatile it probably damages him. I just think he doesnt want it any more
supersonic Posted 21 May, 2013 Posted 21 May, 2013 Out-of-form and a half-fit striker? no chance. I don't think Lambert will ever get an England call up. Some people need to wake up and realise that

angelman Posted 21 May, 2013 Posted 21 May, 2013 I have no faith in Hodgson. To be honest, I don't really care. If I supported one or all (!!) of the top 5 or 6, then I might.
The9 Posted 21 May, 2013 Posted 21 May, 2013 Anyone think its slightly possible? No remote possibility, no. Hodgson basically said as much. He'll probably call up Scott Sinclair.
DuncanRG Posted 21 May, 2013 Posted 21 May, 2013 Time's come and gone for this season. He was the right choice a few months ago but definitely not anymore
Saint Stimp Posted 21 May, 2013 Posted 21 May, 2013 Says on the BBC report that no one will be called up as a replacement. Think that solves this one. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/22615915
doggface Posted 21 May, 2013 Posted 21 May, 2013 Well he's been injured for weeks and playing through the pain. As a result off form, would like to think that if he starts well next season he could get a look in but seems as though Hodgson doesnt fancy him.
sussexsaint Posted 21 May, 2013 Posted 21 May, 2013 Used to love watching England. Been to several matches and was once the pinnacle of a footballers career. Now I struggle to give a toss, very sad.
scotty Posted 21 May, 2013 Posted 21 May, 2013 No remote possibility, no. Hodgson basically said as much. He'll probably call up Scott Sinclair. Whats John Barnes up to nowadays?
SNSUN Posted 21 May, 2013 Posted 21 May, 2013 Gabby Agbonlahor can't be too far away from a recall, his form has been good of late. As for Lambert, forget it - it's possible that JRod would get a chance before Rickie, and he's still way down the list.
rooney Posted 22 May, 2013 Posted 22 May, 2013 Rickie deserved it before Carroll but Hodgeson is dinosaur I am afraid. I thought he would be good too, but will not take opportunities in friendly matches.
Smirking_Saint Posted 22 May, 2013 Posted 22 May, 2013 Rickie deserved it before Carroll but Hodgeson is dinosaur I am afraid. I thought he would be good too, but will not take opportunities in friendly matches. He really doesnt atm
SaintSteve Posted 22 May, 2013 Posted 22 May, 2013 Out-of-form and a half-fit striker? no chance. I don't think Lambert will ever get an England call up. Some people need to wake up and realise that He's been carrying an injury for a month, little training.. Not out-of-form at all.
Batman Posted 22 May, 2013 Posted 22 May, 2013 Roy has decided not to call anyone up. What's the point. It's a couple of friendlies, FFS
Saint Lindford Posted 22 May, 2013 Posted 22 May, 2013 Lambert should have been in the squad ahead of the horse anyway. Now that neddy has pulled a fetlock I hope SRL does not get a late call up, he deserves his rest after a hard season and to come back to pre season fully refreshed and ready to go again.
Smirking_Saint Posted 22 May, 2013 Posted 22 May, 2013 He's been carrying an injury for a month, little training.. Not out-of-form at all. Whatever his reason was he hasnt been at his best for 6 weeks. He has a lot of these little episodes when he hasnt been playing great which transpire to him playing through an injury during the period of time he has a dip in form

Andre Posted 22 May, 2013 Posted 22 May, 2013 FIFTEEN MILLION!? That is ridiculous, such an overpriced and overrated player!
alpine_saint Posted 22 May, 2013 Posted 22 May, 2013 I have more chance of being called up by Woy than Rickie has.
100% Saint Posted 22 May, 2013 Posted 22 May, 2013 I would love it to happen but I highly doubt it. This is what Woy Hodgson is currently thinking:
Saint_Ash Posted 22 May, 2013 Posted 22 May, 2013 Really don't get with the Carroll haters, I think he's a decent player, a lot better with his feet than people give him credit for. If rickie retired and we got Carroll in I'd be well happy. Actually I'd be happy replacing rickie with Carroll next season as I reckon Carroll will be the more prolific and has the years ahead of him!
miserableoldgit Posted 22 May, 2013 Posted 22 May, 2013 Carroll is "a decent player" but is he worth the money that has been exchanged for him? I would suggest the answer is "No" which probably explains why people have it in for him. Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 2
simo Posted 22 May, 2013 Posted 22 May, 2013 On the news article about this on the official England team Facebook page nearly every other comment is asking why Lambert isn't in the squad !

Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 2 true, shame really as he didn't ask for a ridiculous price to be on his head when he moved to Liverpool then to be ridiculed by all and sundry, everyone would struggle in the same position at such a young age except maybe the exceptionally gifted. I would certainty price him around the ten million mark though.
Pugwash Posted 22 May, 2013 Posted 22 May, 2013 This is what Woy Hodgson is currently thinking: Hmmm... The strike pairing could work, but I'm not sure about Shelvey in midfield.
Smirking_Saint Posted 22 May, 2013 Posted 22 May, 2013 true, shame really as he didn't ask for a ridiculous price to be on his head when he moved to Liverpool then to be ridiculed by all and sundry, everyone would struggle in the same position at such a young age except maybe the exceptionally gifted. I would certainty price him around the ten million mark though. Exactly this, he is a huge handfull and has ability. Everyone forgets how he looked for newcastle before Kenny ruined him (as he also did for so many others) Id say 15m was a fair price, little high but its english premium and the scousers looking to recoup
david in sweden Posted 23 May, 2013 Posted 23 May, 2013 You are talking about the striker thats looked pretty abject apart from one goal in the last X games ? Maybe Lambert is the next choice, but our future is around sturridge, welbeck, walcott and rooney. (And possibly carroll) I don't think anyone sees Rickie as a longer term prospect as an England striker, but this season's form shows that he is capable of scoring at Prem. level (where others cannot tread). IF he continues to score next season as he has this, then how can they ignore him?.....after the World Cup is over .....they can go back to the thankless task of building long term.....using players like Welbeck who can't even gat a regular spot in MU side .and certainly can't score goals even when he does..he's only there in the first place because he's in the same club as Rooney .......and Roy has convinced himself he's just as good. has always been ....play your best on-form players......and it 'aint Welbeck.
