I'd have him in my 27. He's young, in-form, quick & has the ability to take players on. He gave us a fairly torrid time at Highbury.

If Sven goes with SW-P, he'd be picking on reputation alone because he's hardly had a game for Chelski.
No change there then.

Walcott?, wtf thats a real gamble don't think Sven should be doing that in the WC, why not Dean Ashton. Other than that not too surprised with the squad.

Why is King not there, he could have slotted him as mid-filed possibility at least ahead of Hargreaves:dry: , plus i know it wouldn't have happened but Parker should have been their ahead of Jenas..

King has broken a metatarsal and is a doubt to be fit in time...

Players who unquestionably deserve their place, and who are 100% fit: Robinson, G Neville, Ferdinand, Carragher, Beckham, Lampard, Gerrard, J Cole.

Players who are 100% fit and are only there because there's no-one better: James, Green, Jenas, Crouch

Players who are totally unproven at international level: Carrick, Downing, Lennon, Walcott

Players who have fitness or form doubts: A Cole, Terry, Campbell, Bridge, Rooney, Owen.

Players who flat-out do not deserve to be there: Hargreaves.

So who would you take instead of Terry, Cole, Campbell. Bridge, Rooney and Owen? Carrick is all class I don't think we have to worry about him. Not seen much of Lennon really, Downing looks decent enough but we'll see. The Walcott one is so absurd it might just work! Hargreaves, meh.

Well we have plenty of centre halves but only one Rooney.
