Olympics Squad

Can any players who went to the Euros play?

We only used half the squad and most of them are ready to play.

That's why I think it's been delayed.

Players like Henderson, Jones, Butland could easily go and play the Olympics now.

I think (may be wrong) that none of the players involved with the Euros are going to the Olympics.

I think Pearce did initially say that. But you never know, it's not a rule, and could change!

Pearce did say that, so I don't think any of them will go.

What would the team look like? Beckham on the right, Bale on the left? Jonny Evans in defence?

Jones wont be going - Fergie said no united player but Giggs will be playing for GB

Fergie said no overage player apart from Giggs will be going.

Fully expect Cleverley to be going. Possibly both Jones and Smalling.

^^^^^^Players have to be released by their clubs, so what Fergie or Wenger want is irrelevant.

Trust me - they will be 'injured' like they are for pointless international matches.

===============================
You think Pearce will go against what Fergie says?. no chance.

gawasoldier... Either way, he said no overage players apart from Giggs. Underage players will be free to go.

..........Butland....................
Walker..Jones...Smalling...Bertrand
Beckham..Cleverley..Wilshere..Bale
.................Giggs...............
................Bellamy..............

no problem - will be interesting to see what happens tho.

Just looking at your team here - is Wilshire not out? Injured? but heard he is actually out for other 'reasons'......

posted on 25/6/12

I'm not sure to be honest, just put him in there anyway.

Could be replaced with Ramsey, Henderson, etc.

@comment by BVB_MUFC

isn't half that side injured?

posted on 25/6/12

I think Ramsey and Adam will both go.

Cleverley and Wilshire wont, nor will Jones or Smalling. IMO.

Jones, Smalling for me

Your team has too many United players in it. Only Giggs and possibly Jones should be allowed in the Olympic squad.

We don't want it to effect our season.

Maybe. Walker and Smalling got ruled out of Euros but were mentioned as possibilities for Olympics. Wilshere will want to play, but Wenger wont want him too. Clevz told me he is fit and wanting to play in it and still has his name forward.

Maestro... Can't see them taking Adam as one of the overs players. Unless they feel pressured to have a Scot in there.

This is true for under 23s following a FIFA ruling. The rest have to be released by their club.

BTW Beckham being picked would be a disgrace.

I'd personally like to see both City players Richards and Johnson picked along with Giggs or Bellamy.

posted on 25/6/12

Beckham will play and captain the team - i bet my house on it!

posted on 25/6/12

Why would Beckham getting picked be a disgrace?

posted on 25/6/12

Beckhams the face of the Olympics. He deserves to play and captain the team.
