curious yellow 184 Posted October 11, 2016 Hoolahan good enough to play for England according to Eamon DunphySuperb pass for first goal and Man of the Match the other night but never any praise from his international manager.Ironically Dunphy very critical of Norwich when they sacked Hughton -"Who do they think they are? Barcelona?" But Hughton had dropped Wes that seasonAnyway, well done Wes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Clint 221 Posted October 11, 2016 Now I love Wes as much as the next man but is this chap saying he''d get in the England team ahead of Alli, Walcott, Rooney, Lingard, Townsend, Ox-Chamberlain or even Antonio? Barkley, amongst a number of others, didn''t even make the current squad.Fair enough it''s his opinion but I can''t see it myself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AJ 1,219 Posted October 11, 2016 How is Wes any different to Lallana in playing style? Lallana is younger, but Wes is statistically just as effective. http://www.fourfourtwo.com/features/why-wes-hoolahan-more-effective-alexis-sanchez-and-11-other-interesting-statsIn fact, around this time last season despite us being a bit carp, he had 5 assists in 8 games which was one less than Ozil and David Silva, but more than any other Premier League player. In fact, the only other player in Europe more prolific in assists than that was Hulk at Zenit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AJ 1,219 Posted October 11, 2016 and then we signed Naismith and played him instead... ho hum Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tetteys Jig 830 Posted October 11, 2016 he may have got the odd cap or so but don''t think he''d have been near the England side really. he''s awesome for us and at this level but he''s a fair way behind someone like Lallana. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Van wink 2,994 Posted October 11, 2016 Good to see our players at least being spoken of in these terms. Always loved the guy, amazing to me that some of more self opinionated posters still are unable to recognise his quality.😉 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alex Moss 2,165 Posted October 11, 2016 [quote user="Buh"]This is wes hoolahans planet and we are all just guests[/quote]😂👍As far as I''m concerned, I saw NOTHING from any of those England players tonight to suggest that they''re even fit to clean Wes Hoolahan''s boots. They were shoite - he would walk that team 💪 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wes exemplifies the clear differences between Paul Lambert and Chris Hughton. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Iwans Big Toe 312 Posted October 13, 2016 Is saying Wes is good enough to play for England supposed to be a compliment? My mum is good enough to get into the current England team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
