watch the game live on eurosport tonight..

Are you having a laugh?

I'd take Saha over Sissy everytime without fail. He's 10 times the player.

France have Henry, Trezeguet, Saha and Anelka, yet continue to pick Sissy... The mind boggles.

I know what you mean like...

I mean, its incredible how a player can control a ball in one country yet can't in another.

Maybe if i'd gone to another country at 16-17 instead of having trials for Stockport i could have had them for madrid as it might have improved every aspect of my game simply by being somewhere else as it would have given me better attributes in every area.

Infact, why don't all players move to another country to make themselves good? What an idea...

Just 2more little boxs to go...just two more little boxs to go.

Can't believe that the highlight of your "career" was failed trials at Stockport AND you like to advertise it .

Firstly you don't get trials at that level if you are a poor player and have nothing about you. I've seen some very very very good players growing up and playing at Stockport, Wrexham and a few local semi pro sides. Lee Trundle (third division player and Dean Ashton being be far the best) and then seeing an ex England international who couldn't trap a bag of cement and told me to lump it clear and not bring the ball down when your under no great deal of pressure.

Secondly Carlton "Its ok if we get relegated" Palmer was in charge of Stockport and picked two black lads, one of which was an outstanding prospect at 16, the other was woefull at 19 and would have struggled to get into my sunday league side.

Third, the scouting system in this country and ability of these scouts to spot players is an absoloute joke and thats why so many excellent kids slip through the net year by year and its rare you have a number of excellent players from one city.

Merseyside is currently one of the best area's for scouting and that itsself, leaves ALOT to be desired.

The likes of Trundle, Fowler, Rooney, Danns, Warnock, Wright, Thompson, Gerrard, Carragher, Barton, Osman, Hibbert and Nugent come through here and they've missed out on loads more, some as good if not better than the likes of Gerrard, Barton, Carragher and Osman.

Scouts these days want physical or stand out attributes rather than footballers. Thats the main problem. I remember that soccer idol on sky sports, two lads in that were outstanding yet didn't get a look in because they had good alround ability rather than "electric pace" or "excellent physical pressence".

People like Dean Ashton, Jimmy Bullard, Joey Barton and Jermaine Pennant are ALL capable of improving top sides in this country, yet they would never get a look in down to the "excellent" scouts over here.
