*Official* English Football Season 2007-08

Everton will have an extremely tough time keeping him in January. Wouldn't at all be surprised if a top 4 club comes in for him. His form has been sensational and it should be obvious to all that he is a gifted player.

Can't see why they'd have a hard time keeping him. It's not as if Everton are Derby you know. If they're still in the reckoning for Europe he'll definitely stay.

Looking foward to see what squad McLaren will come up with after the mid-week & weekend matches. I'm hoping for no garbage players given that i want to be a Wembley next week with all the injuries around but if i were to pick a squad i go something like this:

Well firstly i'd pick only 23 players:

GOAL-KEEPRS:

1. Robinson
2. Green
3. Foster/Carson/James - Either picked won't be a problem

DEFENDERS:

4. Richards
5. Terry
6. Ferdinand
7. A Cole/Shorey - If Ash not fit Shorey could keep his place
8. Carragher/Campbell - Hopefully Mclers can convince Jamie or else Sol to be picked
9. Dawson/Taylor
10. Barry - with Baines out & me not being convinced any other left backs in the land ATM, Barry could do a job here i feel.
11. Another Right back??

MID-FIELDERS:

12. Gerrard
13. Lampard
14. Beckham - only if not fit would give SWP or Bentley a recall
15. Hargreaves
16. Carrick
17. J Cole
18. Pennant - even though SWP had a good game think Pennant deserves a call up now
19. Downing

STRIKERS:

20. Owen - hopefully fit
21. Crouch
22. Johnson
23. Ashton

For a 23 man squad I'd have...

Keepers

Paul Robinson
Robert Green
Ben Foster

Micah Richards
Sol Campbell
Wes Brown
Joleon Lescott

Hmm the most lopsided midfield in history... Not only are they not remotely left-sided most of them can't even kick with their left foot.

true, but that says more about the state of the side than my selection.

another wonderful remark from xavier rose as well ^^^ just aint right mate.

Hmmm...I seem to remember Lampard scoring a screamer with his left peg a few years ago against Wolves.

Not a left sided mid though. Agreed with SP.

Huh? Ben Foster is injured so I don't see how he can be picked.

With the number of shots he has I'd be amazed if he hasn't scored one with his left testicle by now. Doesn't really alter the fact he's not a left midfielder or that he's much cop on his left side.

United, you're lucky I love you so much. Staying up for a 4:40am kick-off <_<

 

[1-9-7-7]

My boys taking on Sunderland tonight.

Hoping for a win

It's not as if Everton are Manchester United, Chelsea or Liverpool though.

 

[roseboy64]

True but they're a big enough club. I mean Newcastle somehow attracts good players.

 

[Pup Clarke]

I'd just be extremely surprised if a bigger club doesn't come in for him as it's so obvious that he can play at a higher level (Champions League). Possible replacement for Scholes?.

I was thinking Cahill might be a good replacement for Scholes actually. But that's the bias Aussie in me coming out..

Can’t really see Mikel at Man U but I do believe he would be an excellent addition to Arsenal, for his the sort of direct player that Arsenal are currently missing. And unlike Hleb, his got the physical conditioning to handle the demands of the Premiership.

Who's Anderson then?

 

[roseboy64]

Anyway 1-0!! Yeah!!!!Listening on radio.

 

[Pup Clarke]

Who's Anderson then?

Thought Anderson was an attacking midfielder/winger as opposed to a central midfield player.

 

[roseboy64]

That's what Scholes was before last season. Attacking midfielder that is.

 

[Tom Halsey]

Even early on in the season no-one likes to see that, the Chavs 1-0 down while United are 1-0 up. Would be good if it lasts...

 

[roseboy64]

Beautiful that.
