It was only a matter of time before he mentioned it. I guess if he does start banging in the goals he will get a call up.. possibly. If one thing is sure Stan is liable to make all sorts of odd decisions. See link.

He's persistent... Give him that at least.
Who am I missing from the list in the opening post?
Why wait that long?Quote:

That'd be a great move, Whelan's got a hell of a strikeQuote:

He's a midfielderQuote:

Arsenal youngster Joe O'Cearuill, Aussie Mark Byrne and former Watford man Marvin McCoy have all struggled to impress, while Norwegian giant Oyvind Hoas, Xavier Barrau, Alexis Bertin and Joel Grant have all been shown the door.

Good move I think. Possibly a call up to the full squad if he gets regular football.
Who, Glenn Whelan? That's who I was talking aboutQuote:

That's debatable. Going from a large club with a big fan base to what will be a struggling Premership side. He's already failed to make it in the Premiership with Man City and to be honest I don't think he will make it there. Doesn't have the pace or the physicality. Nice passer (usually) but he's had dodgy spells at Wednesday as well. The Owls need to keep him to push on in the Championship and I'll be disappointed and surprised if they sell for the peanuts on offer.Quote:

Of course he failed if the management team didn't rate him good enough to play in the first team on a regular basis. They saw him day in, day out, and if the object is to break in to the first team, and you don't, then by any definition you have failed.Quote:

Stephen Elliott took a very similar route. Both are making good livings from the game having learnt well at good clubs. I'd say that's success given how few make it.

Not sure where this leaves Stephen Ireland.
James Simmonds played against Harrow for QPR in their 3-0 win: http://www.qpr.premiumtv.co.uk/page/...082421,00.html
According to QPR's site, he's on trial there, according to Chelsea's site he's on loan there until Christmas.
