2 players that spring to mind are Casillo and Jacobsen. It'll be good for Lars to get some matches in and build his fitness because he looks like a good back-up prospect if we want to keep him.

Then there's Castillo who I've come to terms with and realised he aint cut out for Premiership footy. BUT...he's gonna be involved in 2 very tidy games against Paraguay and Brazil, both World Cup qualifier games. It'd be good to see how he pans out. Its either he's not cut out for the prem or we're missing out on something...who knows (doubt it like).

In respect to Castillo, Internationals are easier than the premiership, i know hes playing Brazil, but they will probably pass around him anyway.

 

[TsarDiniyar]

does a half fit cahill really have to fly to Sydney to play the two ****test teams on earth? A joke if he goes

 

[TsarDiniyar]

I'm guessing howard is playing in some sort of conkyeff qualifier? if not he can bloody well stay too

correct

 

[TX Bill]

Howard is suspended for the El Salvador match.

I'm guessing Guzan will be in the net for us.

 

[Basil Fawlty]

Cahill will want to go though mate, he's very patriotic

 

[Dutch Toffee]

No Av/dM for Holland?

 

[bluebloodinmyveins]

Lets hope they all come back fit and well. Obviously the last thing we need right now is another injury or 2.
