Zamora Recalled into England Squad!

[AlFayedsChequebook]

On twitter now.

Well done Bobby, but will he be fit enough to play???

[Lighthouse]

So has Stockdale.

[MJG]

whats the odd's that Capello tells Stockdale he has to play first XI games next season to keep in the squad?

Imagine a Zamora-Bent partnership up front. Deadly.

Not if Kompany-Vermaelen would have to defend it  :028: :028:

I really dislike Belgium never plays England. It would be such an entertaining game for us, giving me months to gloat and keeping the bragging rights!

[jarv]

Read today, MH was not keen, wants him to fully recover for next season. This international calendar has to seriously be looked at.. :dead horse:

[elgreenio]

great experience for Stockers, and hopefully Bobby gets more of a chance to shine, fit or unfit. Just need to make sure he gets a nice rest in at some point during the break

I understand where you and Mark hughes are coming from but he has had all season to rest! As long as he is fit, a few more games will only help him recover surely?

think its more along the lines of : we're going to have a bloody long season expecially if we get a Europa spot and even just get to the groups of it, get your rest in now instead of being jaded come next March.

Remembering also that we need him to fire England to glory in the Euros next summer  :dft011:

Very true, I just feel he fully deserves the plaudits and chances with england he is now getting.

In the prem this season:

14 apps (90 mins in 2 games only)
5 goals
6 assists

An astounding return from a man who spend 75% of the season out with a broken leg.

[Jack Fulham]

Beast, hope Bobby plays. Been phenomenal since he came back, just look at his number of goals and assists, team player as well as a goal scorer. Hopefully he'll have a long rest after the international fixture so he can be 100% for next season.

[Tom]

Congrats to Bobby! He has been playing well and not even close to 100% healthy.

No, but England regularly plays San Marino, Malta, and The Faroe Isles -- pretty much the same thing I would think.  :hook:

Still gutted he missed the world cup.  I'd have won £100 if he'd been picked.

We played Belgium in 1990 with tremendous consequences!

Nothing tremendous aabout me knocking over a table of about 30 pints when platt scored, or puking everywhere a bit later  :046:

Stupid me. You officially found my weak spot. If you want to make me run away in absolute rage, just say the name of that football player in my presence. He is worse than Voldemort.

Congrats to Bobby and is a true reward for his performances since coming back from injury. Possibly a bit of a boost for him too as he may now think "cor if I can get an England call up when 80% fit, what could I do 100% fit"......

On a slightly different note, as much as Zamora has improved for us over the past 2 seasons, which has obviously been noticed by the press, England set-up, other manager etc., I just can't see another club taking the gamble on trying to sign him from us, as we would obviously not sell him cheap (as he's English he's got to be worth about £15 million now!) and with his track record it would just be too big a gamble for another club to justify in my opinion. Anyone else have any thoughts on this?

[elgreenio]

I can see clubs taking a gamble on him, but certainly not the type of clubs he'd be interested in leaving for (the big 4, or 6, or whatever we're calling it now). Why uproot from a club where you're loved and integral to the team to go to another club of the same or probably less stature now with knocking on the doors of Europe

Fully agree, we have got him at just the right time. With his track record at Spurs many teams may think he is too big a risk. Plus he appears to love London. In fact the only team I think he would leave for would be West Ham if they came back up.
