Bluetrip Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 Hope it's true. Its a bold statement to leave out England's highest profile player and not what I expected of Mclarren. If this continues it might be time to start getting optimistic about the Euros. AJ in for Crouch next and BT for Ashton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iggy Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 McLaren quote from his press conference taken from SSN Steve McClaren claims the England door is not closed to David Beckham, but hinted the former captain will struggle to reach the 100-cap mark. Beckham relinquished his role as captain of England after the World Cup finals and McClaren opted to make a clean break by omitting him from his first squad for next week's friendly with Greece. McClaren claims Beckham took the decision well and vowed to fight on, but hinted he may find it hard to regain his place in the fold. "I spoke with David last Monday and notified him of my decision and told him I was planning for the future, looking to change things and looking to go in a different direction and David wasn't included within that," McClaren told Sky Sports News. "David, I have great respect for him. He was a fantastic captain for England, a great player and still is a great player and he took the news very well even though he was disappointed. "I got the reaction which I wanted, which was he will continue to fight for his place. "I will never close the door, it will never be closed and that was the end of the conversation." Beckham has 94 caps to his name and when asked whether the Real Madrid man would get the chance to add to his tally, McClaren added: "At the present moment I am looking to take this team in a different direction. "It is a new beginning, a clean sheet of paper and is why I decided not to pick David Beckham." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaron Posted August 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 tbh i think ashton should be in the england squad. AJ should get in before crouch. the strikers should be (when fit and able to play) owen, rooney, ashton, AJ and bent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zed Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 I think its the best way to go, hes got to try and get a young team together that will be good enough in the qualifiers but with a view to the tournement in 2 years, when, if beckham is past his peak now, he certainly will be in two year. It may just be a kick up the arse that he needs if hes got any desire left to say "I'll show him" Neville will be an excellent squad member and mclaren knows that, having worked with him extensively at manure.

Mac Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 This is just an interim team, a chance for the new management to stamp their authority on the national side. Once the season gets rolling and we can see who the in-form strikers are, I feel the whole feel of the side will change. I don't rate Ashton at all and think he will fade from contention once the likes of Defoe, AJ and Anichebe start to do the business. Vic does qualify for England doesn't he?.

Mac Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 Zed, for optimist - replace with Evertonian.............it's in my nature I know his background, but I would love to see him as the new golden boy of English football. If he has not played for Nigeria at any level, I think he is called naturalised, and that allows him to play for us.

CraccerC Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 (edited) he can play for us, but he has gone on record as saying he will chose nigeria, as he feels nigerian and dreams of playing for the super eagles, so it's pretty certain what's gonna happen Edited August 11, 2006 by CraccerC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
