Be careful what you say Webbo! We sold the backup to our backup to Derby, so we could potentially be up $h!t creek if a load of our players got injured

Oh come on hoons you cannot be serious!

Freeman was never our backup. Oh dear, what will we do?

I know. Resign Lascelles, bring in Ayala, Hutchinson, Collins, Halford, try Maloney...play wing backs with Cohen.... Even Moosi could play there. Oh no... we have far too many options, even NLN would struggle to understand.....

Moussi leaving tomorrow.

Ayala, Lascelles - not yet up to it

Halford

Ayala, Lascelles - not yet up to it

Your just making yourself look silly now

I don't think either is ready to be a regular centre-half in the Championship, unless shepherded by an experienced centre-half alongside. Just my opinion.

To return to the OP, what kind of to55er refuses to play for his country? Why on earth does this somehow make him a "top bloke"?

Just like Danny Collins, who'll be as fresh as a daisy because he's not off playing for Wales

I dunno how fresh 32 year-old daisies are, but still it's a shame when players don't want to play for their country, whether they're Forest players or otherwise. I'm old-fashioned, but I think they should be proud to do it for as long as they physically can. Partly this is why our national team struggles - players put club before country because money comes before honour.

Maybe because he's 32 he doesn't think he "physically can" any more.

Maybe, but you're a long time retired, and international caps should be the proudest achievement of a player's career. What will he tell the grandchildren? "Yeah, I could have played a few more times for my country,but I just couldn't be ar5ed"?
