Nick I disagree Terry should have had the Court Case before the Euros

- 100% agree.

by nick_fury Wed 16 May 2012, 10:57 am

Which player will suddenly emerge from the Euros as the next big thing?

Kagawa

Kevin Strootman.

by Marky Wed 16 May 2012, 10:58 am

It should of been dealt with months ago, as soon as it happened

by The Special Juan Wed 16 May 2012, 11:08 am

Is itr true he's getting married during the Euros?

by ncfc_Tooze Wed 16 May 2012, 11:09 am

was supposed to be TSC, but has said that they will postpone until after if needs be

by Marky Wed 16 May 2012, 11:09 am

Toni Kroos is the obvious answer, but i'd love John Guidetti to get a few for Sweden in the group stage and raise his profile a bit.

Or if the rumours he's going are true, I wouldn't be surprised to hear Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain be mentioned in the same breath as the likes of Gotze across Europe. He'd need to have a blinder, but he's probably capable of it.

by The Special Juan Wed 16 May 2012, 11:11 am

If he goes Marky.

Postpone the wedding? Mrs Ruddy will be delighted I'm sure.

by The Special Juan Wed 16 May 2012, 11:12 am

Phil Jones hears he won't be going......

Agree but with the CPS, Footballers etc these things take time.

I think M'vila will shine in the Euros. New look France look good. 11/1 I may back them e/w with Benzema as top GS at 16/1.

by Marky Wed 16 May 2012, 11:15 am

I wouldn't actually pick Oxlade-Chamberlain, I don't think he's earned his place ahead of the likes of Young, Lennon and Adam Johnson, but if he does go he would be a very dangerous supersub.

My predicted squad has changed quite a bit.

GK's Hart, Carson, Ruddy

DF's P.Jones, G.Johnson, A.Cole, Baines, Terry, Cahill, Jagielka, Lescott

MF's Parker, Barry, Milner, Gerrard, Lampard, Young, Lennon, Oxlade-Chamberlain

FW's Rooney, Carroll, Welbeck, Defoe

by The Special Juan Wed 16 May 2012, 11:21 am

Whatever happens, I'm looking forward to this afternoons announcement so I can plot your downfall; possibly against France and the Ukraine. And an Ibihimovic hat trick.

by Marky Wed 16 May 2012, 11:25 am

Group D
France P3 W3 D0 L0 Points 9
England P3 W2 D0 L1 Points 6
Sweden P3 W1 D0 L2 Points 3
Ukraine P3 W0 D0 L3 Points 0

by FIFA Diva Wed 16 May 2012, 11:26 am

Sakho didn't make the French team Laugh

thanks Nick selling me Mexes and thanks to Mighty for not selling me Sakho.

Walcott gets a lot of unfair critisim he has the tag of being crap and all the expectations from when he was younger but he is still ahead of Lennon and Oxo.

Anyone signed Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa?

French defender, made the provisional squad and rumoured to be joining a PL side this summer (like half of Europe is admittedly).

I was thinking of going for him but he is not known as much as Vertonghen or Lescott so it would be a risk.

by Marky Wed 16 May 2012, 11:33 am

I've just heard on TalkSport that John Ruddy IS in the England squad, but Grant Holt ISN'T.

Nothing official, just hearsay (not the failed pop band).

But now he's in the Euro 2012 squad and linked to Man U, Arsenal and Newcastle. I don't need a new CB, but if I was after some CB cover i'd take a punt on him.

by The Special Juan Wed 16 May 2012, 11:34 am

Interesting. Are France a more direct team nowadays with Ollie G up front?

Laugh

Sakho didnt even make the provisional squad.
"Mamadou Sakho's lacklustre season. Sakho lost his starting spot at Paris Saint-Germain under coach Carlo Ancelotti."
Ahhh wasteman

I bought him for my old Birmingham side back in my first venture into these pretend manager games along with the Brazilian Dede, must have been lucky punts though as my knowledge on players isn't up to much Whistle

Suprised nobody is going to sign him up now. If no one deos I will Whistle

by The Special Juan Wed 16 May 2012, 11:39 am

Well Fan knows loads doesn't he? Laugh

"Can you really put your faith in a young (ish, for his position) goalkeeper who has never even earned an international call-up? Imagine the worst case scenario - Joe Hart gets injured, Robert Green gets injured... England’s No.1 v France: the uncapped John Ruddy. Gulp. Scott Carson, despite having a nightmare against Croatia many moons ago, would surely be a better option?"

That epitomises everything wrong with the England national team and it's "fans". You (no one in particular here I may add) birch and you moan about never winning and then when the opportunity comes to being along a new face you then complain about lack of experience. How are they meant to get experience if they aren't taken anywhere!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?

by Marky Wed 16 May 2012, 11:43 am

nick_fury wrote:Suprised nobody is going to sign him up now. If no one deos I will

Sign him Nick. You've got the money, he's only £6M or so, if he has a good Euro 2012 it's a good signing, if he moves to the Premier League in the summer it's a win and if he moves to Man U it's a double win for you!

by TwisT Wed 16 May 2012, 11:45 am

If anyone is interested in players from Real Ale, then just let me know. I am online for deals for an hour or two

by nick_fury Wed 16 May 2012, 11:45 am

I liek Arsenal as a club but its this that sickens me about them: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2144992/Arsenal-tell-Robin-van-Persie-stay-crunch-talks-loom-Dutchmans-future.html

Trying to force players to stay by saying we wont sell you and we will force you to see out your contract is as disgusting as Carlos Tevez' face!!!
They tryed it on Cesc, and Nasri. Now RVP. Man 28 coming 29, he wants a trpohy he needs to leave.

by The Special Juan Wed 16 May 2012, 11:48 am

When does the Bosman rule (or whatever it's called for the old players) come into play? What have Arsenal really done this year? Is scraping 3rd place an achievement?

by nick_fury Wed 16 May 2012, 11:51 am

This dude is having a field day on twitter

Jack Coleman ‏ @jackcoleman7
Glen Johnson, barely a footballer, catastrophic defender, at fault for goals on a regular basis. TICK, you're on the plane son.

Jack Coleman ‏ @jackcoleman7
John Terry, garbage all season, racially abusive and destroyed by an actual donkey in two successive game. TICK, you're on the plane son.

Jack Coleman ‏ @jackcoleman7
John Ruddy gave the single worst goalkeeping performance of the season. TICK, you're on the plane son.

Jack Coleman ‏ @jackcoleman7
Rio is all class and composure, Terry will boot it into row z and headbutt the goalpoast and our stupid media label his a warrior.

Jack Coleman ‏ @jackcoleman7
If @rioferdy5 was from any other country in the WORLD he'd b captaining his country in major comps, Poopie they'd be making statues of the man

Too late...I just took him. Peed off that Sahko not going to Euros

To them yes

Twist you dirty little rat. I go to confirm my transfer and hes dont it already lol

by TwisT Wed 16 May 2012, 12:01 pm

Sorry Nick, it was an impulse buy. I brought Sakho for the reason that I though he was odds on to partner Rami for France at the Euro's and now he isn't even going.

by nick_fury Wed 16 May 2012, 12:06 pm

no worries twist....................you want M'vila to sit infront of them...like he will in the Euros

by TwisT Wed 16 May 2012, 12:07 pm

Yeah I do, but I might wait. I think Strootman will have a good Euro's for Holland, so I am going to wait. My prime concern is a CF at the moment.

TwisT wrote:My prime concern is CF at the moment.

Don't worry about him, you'll be ok.

by FIFA Diva Wed 16 May 2012, 12:11 pm

Nick it would be silly of you to buy him this time tomorrow everyone will forget about him, why didn't anyone put a bid in for him earlier? It's all hype over the Euros good player but I wouldn't take the risk when some people may not have seen him play much.

I'm after a winger, centre midfielder and a striker.

Matudi, Menez and Valbuena in the provisionalsquad Very Happy

by **Hero** Wed 16 May 2012, 12:11 pm

Anyone know if Papadopoulos's injury will keep him out of the Euros as Group A is wide open so I expect he could have a good campaign.
