This whole Rio affair is getting a bit embarassing now, I guess when Roy made his "footballing decision" he didn't forsee the situation arising where he had to choose a kid with 22 minutes experience over Ferdinand, I bet he wishes it was Terry with a double fracture of the jaw, life would have been so much easier for him

Everyone's thinking it, Roberts is saying it
"It's a very strange situation, and I think a lot of people are finding it unnerving a player of that ability is not making the squad.
"He's certainly as good as anybody there, if not better. There is no doubt that Rio would fit in there quite easily. If there are other issues around that situation, then we need to be a little bit more honest about it."
I wonder if members of the squad are thinking it as well, again we have John Terry disrupting a major tournament for England, what does he have on the FA I wonder

I probably wouldn't have picked Rio in the first place as he hasn't been that great this season. But considering all the alternatives, I find it hard to believe.

well done woy for standing your ground, rio has had a bad season and is struggling with injuries, we need a fit team that can play not a great team that can watch.

He also played in the second best defence in the league that was ravaged by injury for large parts! He played in 30 out of 38 games in the PL alone. Where do you get your info? Stop reading Roy of the Rovers for match reports
Most people barring a few with Liverpool connections (sensible ones) including players/managers/pundits across Europe can't make sense of it. I even feel sorry for Kelly believe it or not as he is going to be a top defender but the circumstances surrounding his selection are taking away how good it is for him.

To change the subject to Kagawa for a bit, read a great piece about him on the bbc site earlier. Really does not sound like just a shirt seller, more effective last season than Ribery and Robben.

I read the same review, sounds like he maybe a very good signing. Though to be honest I had never heard of him until Utd registered an interest in him.
Plus It won't do Utd shirt sales any harm in the far East!

I really hope he's a great replacement for Scholes. If he's anything like Park his work ethic will be unbelievable. Most of the Asian teams work really, really hard (Japan/China/Korea/etc.)
