Lol.
Not saying he should be in this squad.
Strachan continually leaves out players he should be picking - Something he's done so for years.
That's it.
Every player needs to play. Strachan was speaking pish when he said "some players need games some don't"
The point in this instance is Adam, like McCormack, should be in our squads more regularly.
There has been two league games.
You seem to have left out the bit about playing over 100 matches in the last 4 seasons in the EPL, which was the main point. Well done.
The last 4 seasons he played 27, 31, 29 & 22 league games for Stoke. that's well over 100 games. He's also regularly scored from midfield.
He may be "guaranteed 15 starts" but he starts much more than that & That's without counting cups.
We won't have many players who have featured more regularly in the EPL over the past 4 seasons than him.
Do your research before quoting non quotes and spouting 'facts' which are not correct.
Does it?
For long spells he's a regular starter and doesn't get near our squad.
Why would he drop a league, get paid less and still not get a sniff in the national team.
Good move.
We need Rhodes playing. Griffiths and Rhodes is a partnership that would work and both a good age too.
Will Strachan ever pick Rhodes though? Hmmm.
Brown has gone and many of the old guard aren't playing regularly. For once I actually expect most of those names you listed to be in the squad. Maybe not Kingsley purely because we are well stocked at left back.
No Chris Martin either please.
Weird comment.
He's pish now so it's not a greta loss but it's more annoying that he has quit rather than just been razed out which is what I was hoping for.
Struggle to think of 2 centre backs at the moment let alone 3.
Playing Griffiths and another striker capable of scoring a goal like Rhodes would be nice though, so I do like the sound of 2 uptop.
Hmmm feel a bit annoyed at him making this decision to be honest. Fletcher could have done this before now but he still has the passion and wants to represent Scotland.
they're still the best of what we have coming through, what choice do we have but to get them in the squad, give them a chance and be hopeful of breaking through this rut of mediocrity we are stuck in.
