Liam Posted May 8, 2006 Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 You know who else scored 18 goals in one season in the Premiership? Darren Bent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Summers Posted May 8, 2006 Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 You know who didn't even play a game? Walcott. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott McFly Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 Just to clear this up, every country has to have at least 3 goalkeepers. Being Scottish, the selection doesn't affect me that much, but let's not say things we can't take back - Phil Neville over Owen Hargreaves? Hargreaves isn't fantastic, but I don't think Phil Neville is the man to take instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 England boss Sven-Goran Eriksson has admitted he picked Arsenal teenager Theo Walcott for the World Cup despite never having seen him play a match. Walcott, 17, was the shock inclusion in Eriksson's 23-man squad for Germany. "I've seen him perhaps three times in training," said Eriksson. "(At Arsenal training) on Saturday I saw him play 11 against 11 on a half pitch. "You can see how good the technique is because space is very small. And I saw him do some finishing." Arsenal signed Walcott from Southampton in January in a deal worth up to £12m, but he is yet to make his Gunners debut. However, Eriksson said he had been getting regular updates on Walcott from Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger and England's youth coaches. "I was starting to think about him in January, February and March," said Eriksson. "The first thing I had to check was can he handle it and everyone we spoke to said yes. He is a very steady boy. "I don't think Walcott or Arsene Wenger thinks he is going to play seven games (of) 90 minutes in the World Cup. "If you expect him to have the impact Pele had in 1958, we are talking about the wrong things, but I am excited about it." Eriksson said Walcott could play in the injured Wayne Rooney's role, off the main striker, if the Manchester United star does not recover, but said he also planned to use Chelsea's Joe Cole in that position. Walcott will miss Arsenal's Champions League final against Barcelona next Wednesday to join the England squad. Wenger has told Eriksson he can take Walcott to next week's England training camp in Portugal as long as the Gunners are not hit with new injuries.

Visionary Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 To sum up the striker situation: "2 injuries, 1 17 year old and a Peter Crouch". That should scare the world, it really should, :thumbsdown: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NobBe Nobbs Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 Correction: Darren Bent scored 23 goals this season. He scored eighteen in the Premiership, remember? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That should scare the world, it really should, :thumbsdown: Me and my mate were talking about this Wallcott situation and it isn't that ridiculous. He is a complete wildcard, the opposition will have no idea who the fuck he is and quite frankly, I'd play him against Trinidad and Tobago because most of their players are on the same level as Wallcott. But still, I'd prefer Bent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Heresy Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 I just don't think its the time or place to throw a wildcard on. And it's unfair on Bent & Defoe who haven't done anything wrong, I bet Bent wants to knock the fuck out of Walcott. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Visionary Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 There's nothing with Walcott being in the squad and that isn't my problem. My problem is having him in instead of either Bent Or Defoe, he should be there alongside 4 other fit and ready strikers. Ideally i'l like to see: Owen, Bent, DeFoe, Walcott, Crouch.

FLiam Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 We all know what will happen, we get knocked out of 1/4's by Germany. Media go mad, start having a massive go that he took Walcott, have a massive go that he wasted a spot on an injured Rooney when he could have taken Defoe and Bent instead. But that's life.
