[Rofesleg]

Two players i would never have got in a month of sundays (where does that saying come from?)

It means 30 weeks.
i.e. a long time

 

[Muttley]

He is the messiah and I should know I've followed a few...

 

[Paulroddam7]

Aye, him and George Friend

 

[Druss_The_Legend]

Not England, but can see him getting a call up from Nigeria. He has dual nationality (England/Nigeria) and I can't imagine him turning down an opportunity to play for them.

 

[TheBlueButterfly]

Definitely reckon Southgate should call Forss up like....

I was thinking about this in another context. After watching Toney against Arsenal on Saturday, was wondering whether Chuba could have a similar impact in the prem, and bridge the gap. Not many good champo strikers can make it in the prem, but Toney definitely has, and hopefully Chuba can too.

I'd have got Micky Gray and Phillips, but Jay Bothroyd?!

Free transfer to England Squad player in 7 months - Is this a dream?

 

[Sheriff_John_Bunnell_ret]

Stephen Pears would also have made this list but for a training game on Saltburn (or was it Redcar) beach and the resulting injury which forced him to withdraw from squad.

Jay Bothroyd - I'd forgotten about that (just how bad were England!). There is hope for anyone so dont rule Chuba out yet

Was about to say pearsy. It was fairly late in his career too wasn't it? Surely there must be more keepers from the second division who have been called up given the dearth of them.

Chuba is easy prem quality if he keeps this form up. I think he's better than bamford.

Fairly late - the promotion season under Lennie. He probably would have played at least a half if he hadn't withdrawn, as it was Nigel Martyn who got the nod instead and then played a few more times as well, Pears never got asked again

On this form he's prem quality definitely.

He was famously tipped for England as a youngster of course.

 

[TheYorkshireTerrier]

Nigeria more likely.

 

[morrissey]

Carlton Palmer got 18 England caps, at times getting picked ahead of Hoddle...shows anything's possible!

Think quite a few goalkeepers have been called up to squads but not played.

David Stockdale and Joe Lewis (was Joe Lewis in league 2?)

He's not finished, he's only 28!
