[Kinky Gerbil]

FFS

 

[SNOOBS]

Ledley King is a more than capable replacement so no problem

 

[john baldock]

we have cover !

 

[Simster]

This time next week it'll be Wayne Rooney breaking his leg after slipping over while trying to pick up up a pen he dropped on the floor.

 

[Icy Gull]

Bit of a sick note isn't he

 

[pasty]

we have cover !

This.

To be honest, with the squad that is out there, the ONLY 2 England players that would seriously worry me getting injured are A. Cole and Rooney.

 

[The Wizard]

Rooney and Lamps next?

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

He is our best CB by a mile.

 

[The Wizard]

Disagree. I think Terry is better....Rio 4 years ago definitely but I think he's lost something with those injuries he has had.

 

[Simster]

He is our best CB by a mile.

This is true. But luckily we have sufficient cover to see us comfortably through the group stages.

 

[The Wizard]

Terry and King? If he is out, a) Who will be captain? b) Are we allowed to replace him?

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

This is true. But luckily we have sufficient cover to see us comfortably through the group stages.

King can come in for the 3 group games with ease and hopefull he will be back for the rest.

If its a bad injury Yes.

Gerrard.

If he's out it's a chance for capello to make up for his error and take Bent, the only striker to score 20+ goals in the top 5 european leagues and going to the WC.

Or theo, and immense impact sub.

But he won't, Dawson will go an be centre back number 5.

Well, it makes sense, like for like....

 

[Da Man Clay]

Indeed. It'll be Dawson and rightly so. He won't miss out anyway, would imagine it'll be like the Terry injury scare.

Bent and Walcott aren't good enough.

 

[Sheebo]

f*** me i cant deal with these injury scares every 2 mins. More bad luck for us it seems...

But I do remember the Terry thing a few wks back and that was a load of shit and he even played in the cup final a few days later - let's hope this is just a precaution...

He should be there ahead of Upson in my view.

Having that amount of cb allows him to go to 3 cb's if Barry doesnt recover fully, which from reports is what he wants to do

Oh btw one bit of good news is Barry trained this morning...
