Day Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 New Wales boss Gary Speed may recall experienced midfield duo Simon Davies and Robbie Savage for his first Euro qualifier against England in March. Davies and Savage have retired from international football but Speed has had communication with both players. Asked if he thought Davies would come back, Speed said: "I don't know but I hope so. He's going to have a think." Speed also said captain Craig Bellamy will miss his first game against the Republic of Ireland in the Carling Cup. The former Wales captain succeeded John Toshack as the permanent Welsh manager last month and his first game in charge is the new Carling Cup tournament opener with the Irish on 8 February. And Speed expects young pair Aaron Ramsey and Jack Collison to be fully fit after leg and knee surgery respectively for the Dublin clash to line-up in a Wales midfield that could also include Joe Ledley, Gareth Bale, David Edwards and Andy King. But the new Wales manager may have two Wales old heads in his squad after revealing Fulham playmaker Davies and Derby County battler Savage could be in line for an international return. Speed played alongside Davies and Savage in Wales' midfield in their memorable 2004 European qualification campaign before Wales lost a two-legged play-off to Russia for a place in the finals in Portugal. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/league_of_wales/9334484.stm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambitious Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 I think he deserves a proper goodbye but as it's been said, Savage needs Wales more than Wales needs Savage, however against England I think Savage would be perfect for the occasion and he would do a job against the passionless midfield of england.
