Day Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 England coach Fabio Capello has named Gareth Barry and Jamie Carragher in his 30-man provisional squad for the World Cup. Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher has come out of retirement to be named in the squad to help provide cover in defence. Manchester City midfielder Barry was a major doubt for the squad after picking up an ankle injury last week, but Capello has taken a gamble on his fitness. As a result of Barry's inclusion Manchester United midfielder Owen Hargreaves has been omitted after he was tipped to replace Barry in the selection. Tottenham quintet Ledley King, Michael Dawson, Tom Huddlestone, Jermain Defoe and Peter Crouch have been included in the squad. King has been given the nod despite his injury problems, but Wes Brown and Joleon Lescott have both been left out. Chelsea midfielder Joe Cole has made the squad despite struggling to hold down a place in the Blues side this season. Joe Hart has been rewarded for his impressive form during his loan spell at Birmingham with a place in the squad alongside David James and Robert Green There is no spot for Fulham striker Bobby Zamora with Darren Bent being named among the strikers along with Wayne Rooney, Emile Heskey, Crouch and Defoe England's 30-man provisional squad for the World Cup finals: Joe Hart David James Robert Green Leighton Baines Jamie Carragher Ashley Cole Michael Dawson Rio Ferdinand Glen Johnson Ledley King John Terry Matthew Upson Stephen Warnock Gareth Barry Michael Carrick Joe Cole Steven Gerrard Tom Huddlestone Adam Johnson Frank Lampard Aaron Lennon James Milner Scott Parker Theo Walcott Shaun Wright-Phillips Darren Bent Peter Crouch Jermain Defoe Emile Heskey Wayne Rooney http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,12016_6147309,00.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Day Posted May 11, 2010 Author Share Posted May 11, 2010 Considering he needs to take 7 out, Dan thinks he should take 3 out and put another 2 in. A quick calculation on my abacus 30 - 3 + 2 = 29 I think we'l see Warnock, Ferdinand, Parker, Huddlestone, Barry, Bent and A Johnson drop out. (Ferdinand and Barry due to fitness). The one player I'm glad to see that you lot want in is Agbonlahor, I fail to see what he would bring to the team, every game he's played for England he's been pants.

Perky1106 Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 It's nice to see a product of our academy in the squad. But if I wasn't a Derby fan I'd be quick to point out that Huddlestone doesn't have enough experience in the first team. I don't think Agbonlahor is good enough. It was all over the media and it is clear Carragher doesn't care about England so why on earth recall him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Day Posted May 12, 2010 Author Share Posted May 12, 2010 I read an interview with Carragher and it touched on the England retirement, it wasn't because he didn't care about England, after having one of his best seasons with Liverpool and being highly praised by the media and pundits he still didn't make the England squad. He thought that no matter what he did he wouldn't ever make the grade, rather than being disappointed at each selection he retired. With Cappello he obviously feels he has a chance now, he's not been great this season but if he could find his top form with England he'l be a great addition to the squad if Ferdinand doesn't make it.
