[beorhthelm]

yes, he was only dropped from the squad so McClaren could show he had some balls and was his own man. a bit petty really.

 

[Easy 10]

Whats the frigging POINT of bringing back Beckham now for christs sake ? As of next season he's effectively RETIRED from competative football, as he'll be plying his trade in the Walt Disney Pepsi Max McDonaldship.

So I say again, whats the POINT of bringing him back for one friendly, and one qualifier against a team Coventry Reserves would beat comfortably ?

 

[goldstone]

No. He's past it.

Far to sensible a post.

 

[¡Cereal Killer!]

No, I would only bring him in if their were injuries

 

[Easy 10]

Far to sensible a post.

I know. Sorry, I must be losing my touch.

 

[Braders]

McClaren dropped him through poor form to show he wouldn't take any carriers on and would drop them if they were

yet Ferdinand , Lampard etc,etc.. haven't been dropped , so he's got to take him back with his tail between his legs

is it the right choice? personally no as he's shown nothing major in this season at Madrid (missed a chunk of it from being dropped mind) i'd rather wait to see if his love for the game came back when he joins LA Galaxy before i'd reinstate him (in the meantime dropping the current deadweight in the squad)

 

[Les Biehn]

I know. Sorry, I must be losing my touch.

Nothing about Samuel L Jackson in there whatsoever.

 

[Wienergull]

The heart says yes, the head tells me Easy 10 is right. Remember Beckham for his amazing one-man show in the qualifier against Greece and leave it at that.

 

[¤DãŃn¥ §êãGüLL¤]

What England's midfield is really crying out for is some creativity. Someone who can dribble, take a man on and leave him flat on his arse. Can Beckham do that? Can he f***. Sure, his corners and free kicks will get us goals but we could just y'know, do what good teams do and rely on getting goals from open play.

So now I guess it's back to Beckham hoofing long balls upfield while Fat Frank huffs, puffs and fires over the bar from 30 yards out while someone genuinely decent like Gerrard or Lennon gets wasted stuck out on the left side. What a massive leap backwards.

 

[Rookie]

yep best option that we have on the right, as his current form for Madrid shows. Should never have been dropped in the first place.

 

[desprateseagull]

is becks having 2nd thoughts about going to USA? why else are these reports coming out, just before the team is announced?

i feel he should still be in the England squad though..

Because he's one of the best 20-odd English players? If I were Manager my tactic would definnitey be to pick the best players for my squad.

Oh and England don't appear to be as good as Coventry Reserves right now, so let's not get too over-confident!

 

[saafend_seagull]

Can't believe Beckham has been recalled. A step backwards!

 

[Easy 10]

So come next summer (if we qualify), who do you want on Englands right ? A young, pacey, up-and coming International who's played a season of proper competetive football in the Preimership ? Or a 34 year old player who's spent the last year winding down the fag-end of his career in the backwaters of the Yankie-Doodle Has-Beens League ?

IDIOTIC decision by McLaren, but then frankly I expected nothing less.

 

[supaseagull]

If it weren't for Beckham we wouldn't have even made through the group stages of the world cup last year.

TO drop a player and bring in the likes of Neville, Jenas and Carrick who are not even good enough to wipe Beckham's arse, proved to me what a complete and utter tw*t McLaren is.

He thought he'd come in a stamp his "authority" on the team and it badly back fired and it could cost us a place in next years Euro Champs.

Steve Mclaren, I salute you

STill no return for David James
