No, not for me. Very good player but the lad is Spanish, not English. Just because he has played for Everton for a few years doesn't mean he is English. Yeah I know he has the right to play for us but it just wouldn't be right.
If we win with him in the team, we'll be accused of cheating.
Isn't Podolski (sp?) Polish?
and Cacau was african of some sort, along with germany's left back.
if they're committed and want to play, I don't see the problem.
I would love to see him in the centre with gerrard.
Cacau is originally Brazilian.
not sure i like the idea really. how would you feel if you were Wilshire/ Rodwell or the like. it should be they who are putting pressure on the first team and aiming to progress and be our future. instead they are spectacularly discarded to make room for a spaniard.
call me mental, but i just dont think its right really. imagine for a second you went to play football in Spain. just because you were playing in that country would that make you feel the slightest bit Spanish? certainly i would feel as English as ever, and would find it weird playing alongside 23 other Spanish players who are actually from Spain. im trying to make my point without waffling here, which is proving harder than i expected, but i think most people will understand what im trying to say
