no surprises if/when Davies is left out mind

Its a joke if he gets in.

at his age after previous knock backs, it's also pointless really

 

long term anyway

Zat Knight was worth a look.

only if Cahill isn't playing

Is a long squad of 34 just a list of everyone who is fit, available and eligible?

That's pretty much it, I don't even know why the bother publishing it to be honest with you

as said, it a pointless publication

 

davies is too old anyhow.

WOW!

superb for skd!

 

 

still a nonsense though.

No Cahill, though.

No Cahill, though.

 

correct decision imo.

 

needs to concentrate on his club form.

well done super kev - well deserved

About six years too late and he won't play but it shows things are on the up. Wonder how much Coyle has had to do with this, he's not shut up about SKD since he got here. Here's to training ground injuries for Bent, Crouch and Rooney; SKD on his own up front and a hatrick to boot.

what other strikers were in the long squad?

 

is he only in by default?

 

 

and wheres andy carroll?

 

dropped at the weekend and not even in u21's?

think it's more injuries and retirements than Coyle bigging him up - that said, he created more goalscoring chances last season than any other striker in the Premier League

 

had Zamora, Heskey, Defoe etc been fit he wouldn't have got in

 

hopefully now though, he'll get half a chance and take it and do well, rather than bomb out and do a ricketts

i'd love him to inspire england to victory with a goal and MOTM performance then announce his retirement from international football.

 

There's me thinking I couldnt give a shit anymore

 

I'm actually pleased for him.

Too late, just looks desperate.

 

Maybe Cahill will get a proper chance when he is 32 then ???

I'm glad he's gotten a chance, but it really does show up our lack of quality strikers at the moment, as stated above if Zamora, Agbonlahor, Carroll or Defoe weren't injured, and if Heskey hadn't retired then Davies wouldn't be in the squad. In fact, I'm suprised that Owen didn't get called up ahead of him

 

I do hope he gets at least 20 minutes though

As above, at least 4 years too late.

 

Excellent for K.Davies though, finally the recognition he deserves. Heskey has been the false pretender to his throne for far too long!

Well blimey charlie, well done Kev

Congrats to SKD well done lad

Make no mistake, if both Davies and Cahill played for any of the more recognised prem teams they would be regulars.
