Quite right, we have 21 internationals now.
Name them.
😆 You're including underage internationals in that tally Captain?
Nope.

You're right!
Indeed, so that shows that the players are good enough so the manager must be incompetent.
21 is correct, but many of them are just playing for mediocre nations or haven't been picked for a while by their countries. The term international used to have value 15 years ago when teams had only a handful of really good foreign players. Post-Bosman and post-Wenger, it's meaningless. We are counting people like Eboue, Bendtner, Squillaci and Chamakh as Internationals, and we know they're just international rubbish.
Don't really know why Biggus made that deduction but the point was that we have alot of potential injuries coming from international football.
Is Denilson the only player in world football to occupy a place on the 1st team squad list and be on loan at the same time?
Ah, didn't follow whole string. That is a fair point. If things progress well, we could be providing the England team with Walcott, Wilshere, Gibbs, Frimpong, Jenkinson and Cahill or Jagielka in the next 18 months. That would be nice to see.
And still not winning anything so how does that work?
We're not winning anything now. Might as well Anglicize the team a little in the process. It would be nice for an English team to have some English blood. Guys like Gibs and Jenkinson are going to get playing time. Nothing we can do about that. All we can do is hope that they advance very quickly.
Yep.
