ousefox Posted 22 August 2008 Posted 22 August 2008 He is able to play for England next year and is thinking about doing it cos he knows he will never get into the Spain team! He would be much better than any other keeper we have got and is worth a go. People are saying that he shouldn't play cos he isn't english but that doesn't matter to me any more cos he is quality and hardly makes errors. your thoughts?

He has the right to play so if he's picked I won't mind. A replacement for James?
dandannieldanok Posted 22 August 2008 Posted 22 August 2008 Almunia is no better than a number of English keepers, and he is hardly one for the future either. Why on earth Rob Green doesn't get a call is beyond me, probably the most consistent performer over the last season of any premier league keeper never mind just the English ones.
Austin Posted 22 August 2008 Posted 22 August 2008 Fook Almunia .. Get Kirkland in there. Or Ben Foster.
Bryn Posted 22 August 2008 Posted 22 August 2008 I'm not really for or against him playing for us. If he's the best available goalkeeper around at the time of a squad, then by all means call him up.
JoeyB Posted 22 August 2008 Posted 22 August 2008 Watch spain call him up last minute to piss him off ::
Darkzzz_ Posted 22 August 2008 Posted 22 August 2008 I am sure it would piss a lot of English goalkeepers off. It won't happen.
Tevez Posted 22 August 2008 Posted 22 August 2008 English Players play for England, not Spanish rejects who can't make it into their national team.
Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 22 August 2008 Posted 22 August 2008 There are plenty of English keepers who would do a better job. Green, Kirkland, James, Hart, Carson, Foster (?), to name a few.
Uncle Albert Posted 22 August 2008 Posted 22 August 2008 English Players play for England, not Spanish rejects who can't make it into their national team. Exactly. If he does play for England then we will be a laughing stock, a bigger laughing stock than we already are.
Staf Posted 22 August 2008 Posted 22 August 2008 Not good enough for Spain but good enough for Englands that sound about right what a joke
Lovejoy Posted 22 August 2008 Posted 22 August 2008 Right now I couldn't give a toss about who plays for England. Having said this, doubtlessly I'll jump on the band wagon if we reach the world cup as per usual :laugh: .

The Blur Posted 22 August 2008 Posted 22 August 2008 Rather to throw in one of the english goalkeepers in deep end after James retire they would learn more faster and would be more benefitcal for long term than to put a band aids on our goalkeeper crisis via Aluminia

The People's Hero Posted 23 August 2008 Posted 23 August 2008 Young Folks by Bjorn, Bjorn and that other Bjorn or whatever they're called is played on a lot of adverts these days isn't it? It's also often chosen on FIFA 08. I've got a friend who likes exactly like Almunia. He's quite a good footballer, but rubbish in goal. Good lad. Never afraid to buy the first round. On that basis, yeah, let's pick Almunia but play him on the left wing.
