[billybunter]

[Marked Man]

[Hibs4Ever]

gattuso are you having a laugh. ireland need either a proper goal scorer or a playmaker.

in that case i would take either: Toni or Fabregas

[RogerMilla]

completely irrelevant thread.

michael essien please !! goals , hard tackles and great passing.

[citizenerased]

Miroslav klose,
Danny alves,
Kaka,

[reder]

Kaka.

[lionelhutz]

Paul Scholes - for his tackling alone

[Lionel Ritchie]

Messi

Lampard

Healy

...can we take managers on loan? I'll take someone ...anyone ...who's actually a qualified manager.

[paul_oshea]

Paul Scholes - for his tackling alone

he doesnt tackle, he lunges.


lampard, lionel are you gone cenial already?

[tetsujin1979]

Xavi or Wayne Bridge

[Risteard]

Messi please

[bellavistaman]

Wayne bloody bridge, Englands 3rd right back- Jesus. I'd go for Tevez bit of passion, but i'd imagine we'd have to go European so Klose. Carsley is better than Lampard!!

[Noelys Guitar]

Carlos Tevez.

[Theskinloyal]

Pirlo

[gustavo]

Wayne bloody bridge, Englands 3rd right back- Jesus. I'd go for Tevez bit of passion, but i'd imagine we'd have to go European so Klose. Carsley is better than Lampard!!
Actually Englands 2nd choice left back

[Bluebeard]

Shay Given;)

[youngirish]

Ballack.

[tetsujin1979]

Wayne bloody bridge, Englands 3rd right back- Jesus.
England's second choice left back. And I rate him far higher than Cashley

[Theskinloyal]

I think if we could get one player asking for a left back is a bit unimaginative. Defensive midfielder who contributes a few goals would be perfect, or failing that a proven goalscorer, Torres? Toni? Totti? Van Nistellrooy?

[Stuttgart88]

Actually Englands 2nd choice left backIf you could wish for a player, surely you'd wish for someone's first choice in that position :)

[osarusan]

hristo stoichkov

[Ordinary Fan]

michael essien , Kaka, messi.

In that order

[lionelhutz]

he doesnt tackle, he lunges.


lampard, lionel are you gone cenial already?

I was jokin bout the tackling part but not bout paul scholes. He's a class act and how there wasnt a bigger fuss made when he retired internationally shows how uneducated the majority of the english are

[Bungle]

To be honest, Gattuso would be class. I think he'd give Ireland the space to run things. Plus he'd lay into any of the Irish lads who were getting above their station.

If given a choice though I'd plump for Steven Gerard over Gattuso. He's a truly outstanding player in every way. He's also a great leader which is what we really need. Pity his granny didn't buy him a world cup 90 shirt!!

Creatively, Kaka and Messi are the two best players in the world, but I think we need a Gerard type player more.

[DmanDmythDledge]

Pirlo.

[fergalr]

Michael Essien - The African Roy Keane.

[bellavistaman]

Actually Englands 2nd choice left back

Press were sayin Shorey's ahead of him now, either way i'd never pick a no.2 for any spot if i could pick one player in the world!

[Bluebeard]

Ossie Ardiles wore number 2 for Argentina in one world cup, and I'd certainly pick him circa 1978-82!

[Closed Account]

Pft.... Ossie wore the No.1 jersey!, (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1982_FIFA_World_Cup_squads#Argentina)
The No. 2 jersey was worn by Hector Baley (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H%C3%A9ctor_Baley) who had a less than distinguished career.

[Qwerty]

Maradona. The other 10 can just watch him play like his teammates did during Mexico '86, that should suit JOS in particular.

[Casei11]

kaka:cool:

[inexile]

pat purcell

[MojoPin]

Paul Scholes - for his tackling alone

ha ha are u serious probably the worst midfield tackler ever. the man just cannot tackle

[HolylandsMan]

Probably Kaka or Tevez. Maybe we need a Gattuso more though.

[Bluebeard]

Schwartzenegger would have the muscle in midfield and has a bit of experience now as a leader. I'm sure that he could organise a goal trading deal with the likes of Germany who have more than they need. The biggest problem would be to pass the drugs test.

Stallone would be handy back up to Shay Given - he's good on penalties.

[The Legend]

Bring back Eddie the Eagle McGoldrick... this thread is pointless.

[red rovers]

has to be kaka

[livehead1]

Quandry, do you go for a
Gatusso, Essien, Fabergas, Gerrard etc.. someone to run the midfield
or
Cannavaro, Terry, Nesta, Matterazzi etc.. to marshall the back 4
or
Ronaldiniho, Messi, Kaka even Rooney etc.. for the occasional glimpses of brilliance to make you drool.

Personally I'd bring Roy out of retirement ;)

Ah, Touche! :p

[kingeric]

i'd take Berbatov, we could do with some height/ class up front.

And he'd work well with Robbie..

[tricky_colour]

Oh there is only one possible choice.....David Beckham!!! :eek: :D

He is still managing ;)

[billybunter]

i've changed my mind after watching copa america. Veron or Riquelme would do us nicely.

[bellavistaman]

is veron still palyin well?

[billybunter]

not sure if its because he's surrounded by messi, tevez, riquelme, Heinze, zanetti, cambiasso, but Veron has been sensational in the copa america. I have also seen him in the argentine league this year, and he really looks a different class in every game. I think when he is surround by ike minded players (quick one touch, short link up style football) he really looks superb. I think Robbie keane would really benefit from a veron style player in the center of the park, cause veron would pick out his every run with a one touch pass. If you can get to see highlights of the Arg /mexico game from last night, It would be 90 minutes well spent. Veron was even biting into tackles! -something he never really managed at United.
