I had indeed missed that - thanks. Will keep an eye out for the news. To be honest, I'm skeptical that you can get £5m for him, but time will tell and I'll happily (well, willingly) apologise if it happens.
Strange that Leicester didn't snap him up then rather than splash £5m on Matthew Mills. Unless, of course, I've missed the news story about you turning the down £5m for Clyne?
Quite. Was thinking the same thing about Ryan Giggs - Wales didn't qualify, so him not being at the WC must mean he's terrible and worse than everybody in the Australian team. :jester:
If you want to word it like that, it would seem so, yeah. He came on in all three games though, despite only being 18 at the time, so "bench warmer" seems a little harsh? One of the youngest players at the tournament, I'd imagine.
For me, the basic point still stands - "he was at the world cup"...
No, but I do remember Chris Wood playing at the World Cup (for the only team not to lose a game at the tournament, too... :jester: ) - and he wouldn't get in our team now.
Not a sign that our front-line is world-class, but does show that "he played at the world cup" really doesn't mean anything.
