Canaries Canary 0 Posted November 10, 2011 Do any of our players realisticly stand a chance of getting in the squad? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tetteys Jig 830 Posted November 10, 2011 They''re mostly too old and Giggs and Beckham will take the 2 over age slots. Perhaps Ruddy has a shout for a keeper slot? How old can you be? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AJ 1,224 Posted November 10, 2011 It''s under 23''s with two of any age above that. So I assume you''re right in saying Beckham would probably take one slot, but there''s nothing wrong with having Rooney upfront? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tetteys Jig 830 Posted November 10, 2011 Theres 3 slots, 15 of the 18 have to be under 23 so Rooney could have the 3rd oneWould the likes of Joe Hart play for both England and in the Olympics? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gingerpele 0 Posted November 10, 2011 I don''t think the premiership clubs are too keen on letting their player play the Euros and then the Olympics, and the Olympics over runs at the beginning of the season doesn''t it?So Rooney, Hart then even players like Rodwell and Sturridge if they go to Euro 2012, their clubs aren''t going to let them play in the Olympics as well. (Unless they have no choice...)I was going to suggest Rudd, but he''s 4th choice under 21 keeper at the moment, so unlikely to make the cut. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Legend Iwan 30 Posted November 10, 2011 I''d prefer the players involved in the Euro''s weren''t playing in the Olympic side - apart from those coming back from injury and finding fitness. In relation to NCFC, Delan Rudd''s the only one i can see having any chance. Bennet is born in December so misses out . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AJ 1,224 Posted November 10, 2011 Actually, I was wrong about Rooney, how could we forget Cody McDonald?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bethnal Yellow and Green 1,568 Posted November 10, 2011 Team GB will basically be England U-21s with Beckham, Gareth Bale and Aaron Ramsay. The FA will make a deal so no players involved in the Euro Championships go to the Olympics (this is often what other Eurpoean countries do). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Legend Iwan 30 Posted November 10, 2011 Stand corrected after reading GP''s post - and I would agree. Olympic football doesn''t finish until earl August, so if we buy anyone who fits the u-23 requirement I''d prefer them to stay with NCFC in pre-season and train with the team.

The Great Wall Of Tettey 0 Posted November 10, 2011 Rooneys got that ban and wouldn''t be able to play the first 3 games so he may as well play! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tetteys Jig 830 Posted November 10, 2011 I think they''ll wait and see if he comes through the euros fit enough, he might play a cameo role at the olympics to start with. Other than that, I can see England under 21-s along with Ramsey, Bale, Johnny Evans (young enough?) Barry Bannan, James Forrest, Marc Wilson etc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
andyc24_uk 63 Posted November 10, 2011 Outside bet maybe Adeyemi if he keeps up his current form, and/or comes back after Christmas and gets some games in for us to get himself noticed. I''m thinking he can''t be too far off getting an England U21 call now, especially given Rodwell and probably Henderson will likely be in the senior team from now on...

lincoln canary (& Golden Coppel) 0 Posted November 10, 2011 Wouldnt it be great if the Olympic football teams were only alowed non professional players?? Then we''d see drive passion and commitment our current national team cleary lacks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tetteys Jig 830 Posted November 10, 2011 Or only uncapped players, who would then have to forgo rights to earn a full cap for their nations.Wonder if we could tempt Wes and Holt along with that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Syteanric 1 Posted November 11, 2011 whats going to be said if the Olympic GB team, without the big premiership stars, win the gold medal when England return home with their overpaid whingers potless yet again....I''d take that GB team to the world cup and leave the likes of Rooney and Terry at home....shame that if GB do win it wouldnt happen.
