World Cup Squad Now

[clarkey]

Okey it’s started to be talked about a little on another thread so thought it deserved it’s own.
If you had to choose right this week, what would your World Cup squad be? Favourites injured? Taking three goal keepers? Your choice …

For me it’s:

GK’s – Green, Hart, James
Def’s – Johnson, Terry, Ferdinand, Neville, Baines, Upson, A.Cole (if fit)
Mid’s - Wright-Phillips, J.Cole, Lampard, Gerrard, Barry, Milner, Cattlemore, Carrick
For’s – Crouch, Bent, Defoe, Heskey and …. I think I’m missing someone? … oh yeah … Rooney

[gloversparadise]

Green - Hart - James
Johnson - Terry - Ferdinand - Upson - Jagielka - Baines - Warnock
JCole - Lamps - Gerrard - Barry - Milner - Walcott - Carrick - Young
Rooney - Crouch - Defoe - Bent

thats 22 - I'm leaving one space free (i would have done before the Beckham injury) this is for the surprise package, like a Jack Wiltshere or Cattermole... someone who gets a free Holiday to SA, but has the ability if we need it

I'd like to see Adam Johnson taken a chance on

assuming no cole

Green - Hart - James
Johnson - Terry - Ferdinand - Upson - Brown - Baines - Warnock
WP - Lamps - Gerrard - Barry - Milner - Walcott - Carrick - Young - A.Johnson
Rooney - Crouch - Defoe - Bent - Heskey

is my guess at the squad

I'm hoping Hargreaves gets fit and gets some games because he'd be in my starting line up ahead of Barry in a flash. And Joe Cole is big player if he's on his game.

I'd take:

James, Green, Hart.
Johnson, Terry, Rio, Lescott, Baines, Richards, Upson.
SWP, Lampard, Gerrard, Barry, Milner, Carrick, Young, Joe Cole
Rooney, Crouch, Defoe, Heskey, Bent

What about Adam Johnson... could be the surprise package we've all been looking for?

[glover4ever]

Any thoughts on whether Michael Owen will be picked?

[Perky]

I don't think he'll go. Not after getting injured in the Carling Cup final, I think that pretty much ruled him out. And to be fair, I think we've got better players than him now anyway.

My starting line up if Hargreaves could go which he won't but if he could is

Green

Johnson Rio Terry A.Cole

Walcott Hargreaves Barry Young

Gerrard

Rooney

Expected line up

Green
Johnson RIo Terry A.cole
Walcott Barry Lumps Gerrard
Rooney Crouch

[uniglover]

Hart, Green, James
Johnson, Brown, Terry, Ferdinand, Upson, Cahill, Cole, Warnock (Baines if no Cole)
Walcott, Lennon, Barry, Carrick, Lampard, Gerrard, Milner, Young
Defoe, Rooney, Crouch, Heskey

could drop Cahill and take Bent, J.Cole or Downing if Capello's feeling ambitious, but i get the feeling he'd rather take more defensive cover, being italian and all
