Syteanric 1 Posted March 21, 2007 having read Darrens comments today i think we should chant this game in, game out! he isnt too old for a cap (remember Chris Powell?) and can do a far better job than some of the donkeys that have been played on the left in recent years... He could do a job vs Russia, Croatia and Isreal no problems! and with McLarens job on the line surely he should take a punt?jas :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gissing canary 2 Posted March 21, 2007 never gonna happen, as he is one of the least adventurous (rubbish) managers there are!i mean come on, what does matty taylor have to do to get an england call?but jas i agree england have limited pace a lot of the time, and i would take hucks!! but this is the same england manager who wants to play phil neville at left back!!

macdougalls perm 0 Posted March 21, 2007 It isn''t going to happen, Jas, but I would have to agree with you that he could definitely do a job for the national team and his attitude is a thousand times better than half of the wasters in the current England squad (in fact there are some more candidates for Room 101).

Block E Buh 0 Posted March 21, 2007 If you pick players in form who could play naturally on the left then why not Hucks, his pace would scare Andorra or Israel surely?!Guess it''ll never happen though, poor Hucks, Englands loss is our gain!OTBC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Saint Canary 0 Posted March 22, 2007 He could probably do a job for England. I think the saddest thing though is that he could be scoring a hat-rick every game for City and no-one at England Level would care. However if he was on the Man Utd subs bench playing 20 minutes of football a month he would probably get a call from Mclaren.This is a good thread and one that highlights the problems England have. Time was when to get picked for England you had to have shown good form over a reasonable length of time (with the exception of supremely talented players like Duncan Edwards etc). In modern football, you don''t even need to be a regular at your club side as long as you play for one of the "Big 4". In fact you don''t even ever have to played for your club in 5 months to get a call up to a World Cup squad!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It will be a real kick in the teeth for him to read we all think so highly of him!Surely this is half reason he loves it so much here, give me strength.....

Green and Yellow 0 Posted March 22, 2007 To late, wrong club and wrong league. Under a manager like Brian Clough he would have got into the team but that is why we never win anything. We don''t have the right national manager who will select the best player irrespective of their the club or league that they play in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Huddy 0 Posted March 25, 2007 Huckerby for EnglandWhat a complete pile of absolute crap yesterday. The England team on the whole are a bumch of overpaid, big headed pri-madonnas who have no pride or passion. Get Hucks in there, lets be honest teams like Izrael, andorra, macedonia and estonia have players that are no better than championship quality. I know it aint going to happen, but we have no goalscoring player in the huckerby mould, and he would certainly show more pride, passion and commitment than the likes of Rooney, Lampoard, Gerrard, Ferdinand. Lennons not a left winger, and Downing isnt that great.Lets get chanting it at Carrow Road!!!"He cares more than Rooney,His name is Huckerby" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ark 0 Posted March 26, 2007 In fairness, Huckerby ISN''T really a left winger... Certainly not a NATURAL left winger. He''s proven that. If he was one then I think there''d be some grounds for a call up.At best, he''d come in and do a Trevor Sinclair. Have a few good games out of position, but then eventually show that he''s out of his depth against the big teams. To be honest, I''m not sure Hucks could do a useful job for England right now... He''s a great player no doubt, but he''s not the player that England are missing right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[/quote]too right, As Martin O''Neil said, if Gareth Barry played for Man United he would have played left back Saturday... And is he any worse than Perennial England Sh****r Phil Neville... I doubt it...Carragher at left back - yeah thats a good idea..... And lets have a right winger at left wing too!! Yeah!!! I''m really getting into this management lark.. All Nigel Mcclaren needs do now is put strikers at right wing and Left Backs in midfield.. repeatedly!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Syteanric 1 Posted March 26, 2007 J''loyd Samuel always looks good at left back, dont think he has played internationally for anyone else.. surely England could call him up..and for a bit of passion in the middle is it too much to call up Steve Harper or Steven Sidwell? just because they play for Reading dopesnt mean they are bad players.. i rate Harper and think he could cause all sorts of problemsjas :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
