Rio Ferdinand

Wouldn't be missed.

According to some.

'lolz'.

brrrrrrrap

The papers who were so keen to come in their pants as soon as Stevie me was made captain aint creaming anymore are they

Are the WHU fans gonna make effegies of Rob Green to hang from lamposts this time????


cockney @#%&!s! I £#%&!ing love seeing the inbred £#%&!ers bleating on SSN

Yep, I remember having TalkSport on the afternoon Rio got injured, they general consensus was that he wouldn't be missed because England have 'better' replacements who were 'World class' ..of course Adrian Durham, 'Quinny' & co lapped it up.

Then again, they've got Wayne to blame entirely for England's exit so I'm sure they're all still pretty content

Bookface is full of Berties slagging Wazza off, got to agree with them, the centre forward is a waste of space when the wingers and midfield generals don't cross or pass to him..................bareth garry:shakehead:

Wazza isn't fit & is struggling like £#%&! to find some form, but you put him in a side with movement, pace & imagination & his game would come back much quicker.
No striker in the world would enjoy playing in the current England side, the lack of creativity in midfield is embarrassing - either through the middle or out wide.

but of course it's much easier to single out one player (especially if he plays for United)

Rooney will star for us and that's what matters

Ferdinand between 06-09 was possibly the best CB in the world and he allowed both Vidic and Terry to play that aggressive style safe in the knowledge that he was there to sweep up and cover. Most English fans watch football at a level where Terry like players(inferior models of course) are the only way to play that position. Someone like Ferdinand who makes the game look so easy and does not have to go off his feet constantly does not fit that easy stereotype and is hard for them to judge.

Utd fans are lucky to see players of the class of Rio, Scholes and Giggs every week, rare breeds as British players.

to be fair to terry, it's only really in the last two years that he has started to look so vulnerable. before that he had decent pace and much better anticipation, was able to cope with most forwards on the turn over the first 10 yards and so didn't have to give them so much space or make so many seat of his pants tackles. until a couple of years ago terry was an extremely effective old-fashioned stopper.

of course, ferdinand is so much more that that and is very comfortable playing quite high up the pitch, effectively as a sitting midfielder when united have possession, and participating in the construction of the play. terry is incapable of that, sits deep and inevitably looks for the heroic long ball if he receives it from the midfield.

presumably fergie has seen similar ability on the ball to ferdinand in smalling. when i've seen him (not much) he does appear very comfortable on the ball and to be quite at home maintaining possession at the back. i'm sure he'll be expected to develop that side of his game at united.
