August 12, 200916 yr nothing against Muamba, but there would have to be a catastrophic injury list for him to get anywhere near the actual 22 man squad I would have thought
August 12, 200916 yr nothing against Muamba, but there would have to be a catastrophic injury list for him to get anywhere near the actual 22 man squad I would have thought And even following a catastrophic injury list in the midfield section, don't forget following last season's catastrophic injury list in the forward line SKD still didn't get a sniff of an england shirt.
August 12, 200916 yr has there always been a "long list" before squads are announced - or is it a recent thing, must admit I've never heard mention of them in the past
August 12, 200916 yr has there always been a "long list" before squads are announced - or is it a recent thing, must admit I've never heard mention of them in the past no, it's just he heard the news off a jap "hey, you hear, muamba picked in long squad"
August 12, 200916 yr nothing against Muamba, but there would have to be a catastrophic injury list for him to get anywhere near the actual 22 man squad I would have thought is there a stronger, more energetic, better tackling midfielder in the league? ok theres more to a player, but i think he hard pushed to being player of the season this coming year.

August 12, 200916 yr It's Stuart Pearce's influence, I expect he wants as many of his U21 squad to be challenging as possible. Pearce did rave about him during the U21 championship and I assume Capello has at least seen the videos. If Capello wants a more specialist defensive midfielder then if Muamba has a good season then he could well make the squad next summer.

As long as Muamba keeps his head, just training with the squad has to be good for him and us. And here's a player who seems to WANT to earn an England cap. I predict a good season for the lad.
