Ohio Saint Posted 6 June, 2014 Share Posted 6 June, 2014 Great news .... part of me sad though cause we are know that he will now be of to Arsenal for sure Who knows, maybe HE will turn out to be the long serving legend that many here seem to be desperate for.

Window Cleaner Posted 6 June, 2014 Share Posted 6 June, 2014 (edited) Just how daft does he look over overlooking Nasri now they don't have Ribery? Plenty of CMs, some good strikers, but attacking mids and wide players seem to be lacking. didn't overlook Nasrii.... he just dislikes him intensely. He's a very abrasive character by all accounts. Remy can play wide very well, looked good against Norway...then again who wouldn't. Griezmann looked good against Paraguay and he's not a knob like Ribery. At the end of the day France's 23 must be one of the youngest in the WC now. Edited 6 June, 2014 by Window Cleaner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Window Cleaner Posted 6 June, 2014 Share Posted 6 June, 2014 Wonder how many players get called into a WC squad a week before the tournament, having never played for their country. Just shows that he's been overlooked for far too long really. DD made a complete pig's ear of the tour to South America last summer, that's when Morgan should have been called up. Internal politics somewhere made him choose the awful Guilavogui and Capoue for reasons only known to the FFF . Grenier has been injured for most of this calender year, why he thought he'd hold up this summer no-one really knows, same for Mavuba. DD is a creature of habit, likes his binkies and doesn't seem to like change much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotty Posted 6 June, 2014 Share Posted 6 June, 2014 Was surprised Ribery is only 31, he seems to have been around ages and looks ancient. Agreed. He has the look of a middle-aged french merchant sailor who once got into a knife fight on Marseille dockside. While smoking a gauloise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously DD was impressed with his attitiute and training when with the extended squad. Yes, they'll all play except the 3rd keeper probably, especially with Cabaye's approximative tackling that gets him his fair share of cards. I expect Morgan to get at least a run on against Jamaica, think it's Sunday, might be tomorrow. Pogba hasn't looked all that good defensively of late and Mavuba is a walking wounded who won't last the tournament.

Lazlo78 Posted 6 June, 2014 Share Posted 6 June, 2014 not sure we can win here. Morgan may feel he would have been straight in if he had been at Arsenal, for example. Now he is in he is going to attract even more attention for the likes of Arsenal. An international for one of the big nations that is not playing champions league football is going to be keenly watched. I agree that we're not sure to win, call up or not, but it wouldn't be unreasonable to expect Morgan's price to rise after the WC to reflect his ability better... And that would leave us better of in the transfer market... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Window Cleaner Posted 7 June, 2014 Share Posted 7 June, 2014 Still have to wait for the green light from FIFA though. If Morgan replaces Grenier, not too much problem, got injured or injury worsened, not hard to prove. However the case of Ribery is different, he was always crocked but was on the list all the same, they might have difficulty in convincing FIFA that he in fact got worse. No doubt they'll get away with it but Ribery was always a non-starter really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Window Cleaner Posted 7 June, 2014 Share Posted 7 June, 2014 The deadline isn't reached yet, is it? Yes and no, iit's up until the eve of the side's first game but valid medical reasons must be put forward and approuved. There's a clause about the injury having to have detiorated and they must be able to proove that. Back injuries are sometimes hard to assess, prooving they've got worse when the player had done virtually sod all because of it for a while might be tricky. The french docs will come through though, otherwise they'll take their ball home and no-one will get a game.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
