It will be Gerrard but I'd personally choose Lamps.

Best performing English CB from last season on the plane, should of been there ahead of upson

Agreed. Do you really think Dawson is international class though??

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

I think Dawson will push himself ahead of Upson.

After seeing him last year, yes.

And if Upson is, he certainly is

The problem is - we know that Upson struggles. It is that rabbit in the headlights look.

Justy knew something like this would happen. We always have injuries to our key players - Rooney / Beckham in yrs gone by. The gods are so against us - bollox. As i said in another thread, we do have a lot of bad luck.

Saying that if King's knee holds up he's a very good replacement.

 

[Common as Mook]

Technically the best centre half for a generation.

Concentration span of a 4 year old.

King is a ready made replacement.

 

[Uncle Buck]

Suddenly King's training has to be properly managed.

 

[Gerbil]

This is bad. But i think King will be a good replacement if he can stay fit.

 

[Marshy]

King is ideal and left sided. At least it happened before the World Cup when we can replace him.

He has taken his own Personal trainer, and you say train.... the boy doesnt train.

 

[manilaseagull]

Had to laugh at Drogba as well.....great player but pig of a human

Massive loss! King is decent, but not in the same class as Rio. The worrying thing is King is unlikely to last the tournament, so its Upson or Carragher at some stage. Bad times.

Terry is also left sided

Heskey did it!

On current form/given Rio's fitness problems this season, King is just as good. Bad for the squad though.
