Saint IQ Posted 21 July, 2014 Posted 21 July, 2014 Unlikely but still possible if the TEAM perform well again this year -Ward-Prowse -Chambers -Clyne -Cork -Jay Rod -Ings? Finish 8th again and very likely 2-4 of them will make there senior debuts. It's so terrible being a saints fan these days isn't it?
DuncanRG Posted 21 July, 2014 Posted 21 July, 2014 It's not totally out of the question, actually. That's a nice feeling!
Saint_clark Posted 21 July, 2014 Posted 21 July, 2014 You'd think that Clyne or Chambers are almost certain to get a call-up if they carry on the way they have. Ward-Prowse is another good shout.

Finish 8th again and very likely 2-4 of them will make there senior debuts. It's so terrible being a saints fan these days isn't it? Cork, no chance, not because he's a bad player but because the "world class" Steven Gerrard is merrily tying down his position. 1 of Clyne/Chambers maybe as both cannot get regular game time but JWP could be in with a shout. JRod is a Liverpool player if you believe the press
Bos Vegas Saint Posted 21 July, 2014 Posted 21 July, 2014 hope not ! the vultures will be circling again if thats the case!

Millbrook Saint Posted 21 July, 2014 Posted 21 July, 2014 Roy Hodgson and any subsequent England manager should be banned from St. Marys. I never want a Saints player being called up again.
SaintAndy14 Posted 21 July, 2014 Posted 21 July, 2014 Great to see a positive thread which makes encouraging reading! Thanks Saint IQ

Finish 8th again and very likely 2-4 of them will make there senior debuts. It's so terrible being a saints fan these days isn't it? I don't think JWP has a chance at all of being called up, certainly not next season. Chambers or Clyne but not both.....personally i was surprised Clyne wasnt chosen last season and should definitely have gone to the WC. I think Rodriguez is in for a long period of recovery.......even Walcott is still out at the start of the season. If he manages to get back, it will be late Jan (assuming no problems on the way) and then he has to return to some sort of form. I think its unlikely he will be playing for england next year, but who knows. And Ings doesn't play for us.

Thought he did? Thanks for clearing that up.

Kingsbridge Saint Posted 21 July, 2014 Posted 21 July, 2014 England call ups are meaningless. They only play the big club players in the tournaments. It's a strategy that has been adopted for nearly 50 years with terrific results. In shirt sales. England are a busted flush.
JakkoUK Posted 21 July, 2014 Posted 21 July, 2014 After what happened to the last batch that got called up, it's horrible to think this, but I don't want any of our players being called up! There is definitely a direct correlation to the England call up's and the players then turning their heads to other clubs.
SuperSAINT Posted 21 July, 2014 Posted 21 July, 2014 Roy Hodgson and any subsequent England manager should be banned from St. Marys. I never want a Saints player being called up again. Ha, I feel your pain mate. Players used to want to leave us so they can achieve their dreams of playing for England etc. Now players leave after they've been called up because they get a taste of the 'big time'.
alpine_saint Posted 21 July, 2014 Posted 21 July, 2014 It's not totally out of the question, actually. That's a nice feeling! You sure ? It leaves our squad open to being pillaged by the big 6. So we would be rebuilding again. F**k the England set-up. F**k Platini and his dopey FFP rules.
sadoldgit Posted 21 July, 2014 Posted 21 July, 2014 After what happened to the last batch that got called up, it's horrible to think this, but I don't want any of our players being called up! There is definitely a direct correlation to the England call up's and the players then turning their heads to other clubs. As long as we continue to play attractive attacking football, give the cups a real go and finish around midtable I'd be more than happy with that. The pride I felt when Lambert scored a goal with his first touch has been soured by everthing that has happened since and it wouldnt bother me if a Saints player never played for England again.
Tom28 Posted 21 July, 2014 Posted 21 July, 2014 I'm going to go out on a limb and say the next saints player to play in a game for England will be Calum Chambers closely followed by Harrison Reed.
Olallana Posted 21 July, 2014 Posted 21 July, 2014 I'm going to go out on a limb and say the next saints player to play in a game for England will be Calum Chambers closely followed by Harrison Reed. Next England game is a u-21 game then...?
aintforever Posted 21 July, 2014 Posted 21 July, 2014 I would put money of Ward-Prose having made his England debut by this time next year. Maybe Jack Cork as well.
DuncanRG Posted 21 July, 2014 Posted 21 July, 2014 You sure ? It leaves our squad open to being pillaged by the big 6. So we would be rebuilding again. F**k the England set-up. F**k Platini and his dopey FFP rules. Okay Alpine
Baird of the land Posted 21 July, 2014 Posted 21 July, 2014 Its a rock and a hard place. England camp seems a malign place where players of the top 4 tap up and unsettle any new internationals. Yet on the other hand as a Saints fan i want our players to be playing well and if they play well there's a chance for call ups.
david in sweden Posted 21 July, 2014 Posted 21 July, 2014 think we will see a lot of fresh faces in the next England game. Most of those who " failed " in Brazil will be doubtfuls when you consider it was our " second string " that drew 0-0 with the " mighty " Costa Rica ! Those who have finished their international careers were predictable, (Gerrard will be next).... but expect to see new some new recruits in preparation for Euro 2016. Roy still loves us... and a good run of results will mean he'll be back to look at our U21's every week

farawaysaint Posted 21 July, 2014 Posted 21 July, 2014 I expect and hope Lampard and Gerrard to retire. Well, you got one right, Gerrard retires from internationals.
Killers Knee Posted 21 July, 2014 Posted 21 July, 2014 Jack Cork must be on the shortlist to replace Gerard now he's retired from international football. Need to tie him down on a big contract before he goes to Liverpool!
Saint IQ Posted 21 July, 2014 Author Posted 21 July, 2014 Well, you got one right, Gerrard retires from internationals.
Saint IQ Posted 21 July, 2014 Author Posted 21 July, 2014 Gerrard retiring may make it less likely for outside top 6 england player's heads to be turned. He's a legend of the game and players obviously hang on to his every word. This would happen with Rooney also if he wasn't so f-ing brain dead
richardc Posted 21 July, 2014 Posted 21 July, 2014 Hopefully our new batch of young hopefuls will see our recently departed players sat on the bench at their new BIG clubs and when they meet up at the England training camp they wont be so easily persuaded to leave. Also I hope that the players that leave dont get game time and therefore dont get picked England and they will look on enviously at our new generation playing regularly and getting picked by Hodgson
influx Posted 21 July, 2014 Posted 21 July, 2014 Cork, no chance, not because he's a bad player but because the "world class" Steven Gerrard is merrily tying down his position. 1 of Clyne/Chambers maybe as both cannot get regular game time but JWP could be in with a shout. JRod is a Liverpool player if you believe the press Not any more http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/28401056
Bearsy Posted 21 July, 2014 Posted 21 July, 2014 I reckon that fraser four-star will deffo sign for saints. He seems like the sort of player we would sign. I think he will sign for us. He is England.

ExSt Peter Saint Posted 21 July, 2014 Posted 21 July, 2014 It depends who we sign. If we sign some of the players we're rumoured to be in for: Forster Rodwell Redmond Ings They could all develop into England players. If JRod is back to full fitness and form, he looks a good option and Clyne must be one of the best players not to have gone - far better than Johnson or Phil Jones in that position! Chambers is also better than the current incumbents, but I don't see how we can have two RBs both playing for England when we will be rotating them. I think JWP needs a bit more time to mature before he's ready to start for us let alone be an England international. If anyone else breaks into the team and impresses enough to be considered, we'll be having a very good season again. I know everyone's ****ed off with our best players being tapped up and sold because they've played so well, but I'd rather that every summer than relegation battles and sub-standard football at St Mary's every week.
Soulful Odin Posted 21 July, 2014 Posted 21 July, 2014 Anyone who doubts JWP's England credentials didn't watch the toulon tournament where he captained the U20s. Standout England player by a mile, so much more composed and mature in possession than the rest of the team. Fully expect this to be his proper breakout year, love him to sign his new bumper contract. Hope Reed gets a chance for saints this year too, future england international (couple of years away). Can see why he gets compared to scholes as, like JWP, he has maturity beyond his years in possession.

Exactly, I, at my age have never had it so good at saints. Our youth system is thriving, players going to the world cup. It sucks they've gone/ are going but that's football!
SaintRobbie Posted 22 July, 2014 Posted 22 July, 2014 Roy Hodgson and any subsequent England manager should be banned from St. Marys. I never want a Saints player being called up again. I think Woy is going to be booed at Saint Mary's.
sammysaint Posted 22 July, 2014 Posted 22 July, 2014 Behave Ings wont be a England international for at least 18 months, i dont think he is good enough but you never know. Cork 100% should be in there quality defensive midfield player, better then Henderson, but i dont think he will get much of a look in. Jay Rod when fit and on form will be a regular. JWP still needs to find his best role for us 1st, but when he does fully expect him to be a squad player for England. Clyne and Chambers should 100% be considered Johnson is awful, Walker is decent and we need cover for him.
Kingsbridge Saint Posted 23 July, 2014 Posted 23 July, 2014 I think Woy is going to be booed at Saint Mary's. And rightly so. dropping Lallana so Rooney could play in his position to accommodate Welbeck in the team was the decision of a total ****wit.
