Ricky Lambert for the England Euro's Squad

by Mr Angry » 18 Mar 2012 15:40

Absolutely serious point here - I think that Ricky Lambert is, after Rooney, the best English qualified striker playing at the moment; the guy is seriously on fire, and has never missed a penalty for the Saints. With Bent clearly not going to make it, why not take him to the Euro's rather than someone like Carroll who is a donkey?

Wellbeck and Sturridge please.

You can't hate Chelsea and Man U so much you really want to see a Championship player in the squad.

Its not about hating any team; I'm expressing a point of view.

I'd obviously have Welbeck and Sturridge in the squad, but how many strikers are going to be taken? 4? 5? Leave aside the prejudice against a player for a team we are battling promotion against, and who would you rather have stepping up to take a penalty in a quarter final penalty shoot out?

To be honest Mr A, I wouldn't take a single player to the Euros on the basis of their penalty taking ability.

Are you seriously suggesting we take a player for the penalty shoot out alone ? :shock:

If Lambert is to be considered then how about Danny Graham who did what Lambert has done in the Championship and has now done well in the Premier League?
The overall point I believe is that we should always look beyong the big clubs but generally we don't and has the team been successful in recent times?
Hopefully the new manager will have an open mind.

Is this is a joke? What about him and Mr Nugent up front.

Countless other players better than him and more deserving to play.

Grant Holt, Jermain Defoe, Danny Graham and Andy Carroll. List goes on..

Only looking at the top division
