jawillwill Posted 1 June, 2016 Share Posted 1 June, 2016 By my understanding, these are the players with Saints interest: Current Saints: Fraser Forster (England) Ryan Bertrand (England) Shane Long (Ireland) Stephen Davis (Northern Ireland) Graziano Pelle (Italy) Jose Fonte (Portugal) Cedric Soares (Portugal) Ex-Saints: Morgan Schniderlin (France) Adam Lallana (England) Nathaniel Clyne (England) Gareth Bale (Wales) Arthur Boruc (Poland) Chris Baird (Northern Ireland) Toby Alderweireld (Belgium) Future Saints????: Zlatan (Sweden) Anyone else? As an aside I have noticed that there are only 13 clubs in Europe with more current players in the Euros than Saints (Juve and Liverpool, 12; Spurs 11; United 10; Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Shakhtar Donetsk, Fenerbache 9; Real Madrid, Basel, Roma, Arsenal, CSKA . That's not bad going, is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Clarke Posted 1 June, 2016 Share Posted 1 June, 2016 I fancy Long to do well, he's playing well at the mo - top of his game. Best time for him to play in a major tournament. Hopefully Fonte gets the nodd as a first choice, but I reckon it'll be Pepe and 1 other. Pelle will probably lead the line for Italy though. Not euro's specific, but has anyone seen how Tadic has been playing for Serbia? He's at the top of his game right now, looks unplayable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The9 Posted 1 June, 2016 Share Posted 1 June, 2016 Typos on "Steven" Davis, and "Schneiderlin" (who is a late call-up and would have missed out had dirty Skate Lassana Diarra not got injured). I don't think you've missed anyone. I think we should mention Lovren just for the massive lol of him missing out on the Croatia squad after slagging off the manager, though.

Mallagroth Posted 1 June, 2016 Share Posted 1 June, 2016 I fancy Long to do well, he's playing well at the mo - top of his game. Yeah I've got a feeling Long could be one of those standout players that captures a lot of attention. Like Shaqiri did in the WC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jawillwill Posted 6 June, 2016 Author Share Posted 6 June, 2016 Looking at the Euro2016 app I notice Jelle van Damme is listed in the Belgium squad. I assume that's not correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The9 Posted 6 June, 2016 Share Posted 6 June, 2016 Looking at the Euro2016 app I notice Jelle van Damme is listed in the Belgium squad. I assume that's not correct? He's been back up left back for years, somehow recently he seemed to be spending quite a while in the Anderlecht team playing european club matches.

Fews years back in Budapest, I used to work at the same place as a lass called Berki Papps - I jest not. The obvious spoonerism wasn't immediately picked up by my Hungarian colleagues. Nice girl.

John Cool Posted 13 June, 2016 Share Posted 13 June, 2016 Hmm, yeah, could make a very strong Saints / Ex-Saints Euro 2016 team (albeit with a rather thin bench). I've gone for a 4-3-3 ...

Except Lallana who I refused to pick on principle and Baird who I left out on the principle that I forgot he was there. I don't know sh it about European football so thought I would flaunt my Saints-ness to the northerners I work with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
