Pv4 where is Lucas????

[BodyNovo]

wilkshire back in the fold

good to see sarota, herd and lugongo

[goaliepersempre]

Halloran and Leckie have been playing well in Bundesliga 2...


Bozanic gypo he def heard me last weekend. But have to admit played a Great Ball in for 2nd Phase Assist.

Dario has also been quite strong at the Basketcase of a Club in Sion... (I recommend a read up on the owner)

Fare few assists and a couple of goals, very calmly taken pen on weekend.


I like it, giving fresh people a go... And thankyou fire truck no Lucas

[Thomas477]

Good to see Loungo in the squad.

Also, I wonder if Zura will be playing?

[furns]

Herd? That bloke who cant get into the Villa squad now?

[Grimario]

Jones, that GK who hasn't played in forever.

So much for Ange being an advocate of "you must be playing regularly". Lucas will definitely be at the WC if that's the case.

Herd? That bloke who cant get into the Villa squad now?

I think Ange is using this as (yet another) excuse to get Herd a cap. And also just to meet him and see first-hand what he can do.

[GazFish35]

Jones, that GK who hasn't played in forever.

Where the game being played? England?

A third choice keeper isn't going to get flown in for this.

[The Dunster]

That squad looks very balanced with a nice blend of strikers that can't score and defenders that cannot stop opposition players from scoring.

He plays every Wednesday for the Reserves doesn't he?

[Grimario]

Exactly. So why waste the spot on an old bloke who will never really be in contention... why not use it on one of the young blokes that ply their trade in youth set ups in England or Scotland? Or am I imagining that we have young GK's over there... could be the case.

[Jetmaster]

No problem with Jones being involved as senior keeper with Schwarzer retired, especially after all he went through last World Cup. There as third keeper giving advice to the young guys.

He would be my choice if the keeper picked as number one has a shocker in the opening game.

He did play against Arsenal last week after all and is an injury away from being involved in a Top 4 challenge and ECL football.

[MFKS]

Still feel we are missing a trick by not plumping on some more Yoof. Ideally fast track some kids career

Yeah cause that has really helped force the jets up the table.

[GazFish35]

I think the member wants Kale on the plane.

Good write up of the squad selection and ange's thought process.


Doesn't look good for Neill.

[MFKS]

Exactly the way I thought Ange will see things.

Not gonna move to the Yoof as quickly as I would like but prepared to axe the pensioners unlike his predecessors.

Might have to start coming up with ideas for PV4's new Avatar

What happened to this Mrcela bloke Ange? Give him a crack.
