completely irrelevant thread.
michael essien please !! goals , hard tackles and great passing.
Miroslav klose,
Danny alves,
Kaka,
Kaka.
Paul Scholes - for his tackling alone
Messi
Lampard
Healy
...can we take managers on loan? I'll take someone ...anyone ...who's actually a qualified manager.
he doesnt tackle, he lunges.Quote:
Paul Scholes - for his tackling alone
lampard, lionel are you gone cenial already?
Xavi or Wayne Bridge
Messi please
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!!
Carlos Tevez.
Pirlo
Actually Englands 2nd choice left backQuote:

England's second choice left back. And I rate him far higher than CashleyQuote:

If you could wish for a player, surely you'd wish for someone's first choice in that position :)Quote:

In that order
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 areQuote:

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.
Pirlo.
Michael Essien - The African Roy Keane.
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!Quote:

Maradona. The other 10 can just watch him play like his teammates did during Mexico '86, that should suit JOS in particular.
kaka:cool:
pat purcell
ha ha are u serious probably the worst midfield tackler ever. the man just cannot tackleQuote:

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.
Bring back Eddie the Eagle McGoldrick... this thread is pointless.
has to be kaka
Keith Foy
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 ;)
