glasgow jock Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 It's not an ideal situation but he would certainly improve our team. Yes agree 100% - by far our weakest part of team (and squad) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wanderer Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Did a similar quote from him not pop up about 1/2 years ago? His name has certainly been linked with us during Strachans time as manager. Certainly better than anything we have at the moment, but fact he has only 1 cap for England, and has been relegated from the Premiership twice, so he is well out of the picture in terms of what he made out his future England career was going to be like when Levein was chasing him.

Kirk Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Exactly what we want and need. Do hope he gets a call up for the Czech game. Aye a jobby that doesnt want to play for us but wont get international football for his own team so maybe wants to play for us to make him look better and put his wage up. No thank you bawbag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ErsatzThistle Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 No way should Caulker be called up. He's nailed his colours to the mast already. It's ridiculous too that FIFA allow players to play a senior game for one country and still be able to switch to another ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does seem bizarre. I don't think we can qualify for a tournament with the current CB's we have - Hopefully Liam Cooper or someone else can step up but I expect Strachan is probably hounding Caulkers agent as we speak to get him to make the switch.

aaid Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 A new inclusion to Strachan's squad for the game in Prague. Plays on the left but can cut inside to the middle when required, strikes fear into the opposition. https://t.co/DJO4Cwneiy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LewisEDI Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 I fancy mcginn to get into this one need to get a young central midfielder into the squad to develop, brown, fletcher, morrison have had their time and we haven't achieved anything with them, they need phased out.

McGinn has been the better player out of the two but both of them I would bet will be full internationals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tartacus Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 I've seen Leeds a few times this season and Bridcutt has been excellent. Defensive midfielder but good on the ball and a tidy passer. Quite fast and good at harassing the opposition. Not sure about Liam cooper. Has potential but not international quality yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin has been pretty solid for us but the past few times I've seen him for Norwich he's been murder. As for Hanley, it seems to be taking quite a long time for his potential to come to fruition but we will have to stick with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy is 25 this year, can we please stop talking about players in their mid-20s as having potential. Â If he's not international quality by that age, he never will be. I accept the point that it might be that this is all we have to look forward to as a centre back but lets not pretend we're unearthing hidden gems.

Unfortunately his form dipped at the end of the 77/78 season and he played poorly in Argentina but up to that point he was an integral part of a very good side. More recently Paul Hartley was also 29 when he made his debut and he was certainly worthy of a place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin Hendry was a bit of a late developer too, made his Scotland debut at about twenty-seven - got fifty-one caps. David Weir made his Scotland debut at about twenty-seven years old - got sixty-nine caps (and would have got more had it not been for the Vogts dispute) Not all but most central defenders tend to get better with age. Ultimately, we won't know what Liam Cooper can offer Scotland unless we try him out, and I really hope we do give him a chance in the upcoming games.
