I wouldn't be surprised to hear that he plans to quit England after the Euro Championships. Quitting before would really surprise me, although in fairness it must be galling travelling to all these tournaments and warming the bench constantly.

I'm sceptical like with all the rumours, but well, Carraguer is a man that speaks clearly and he'll tell whether this is true soon enough.

Whatever it's his decission, I'll find it OK.

IMHO this kind of decissions have been taken by several good players like Zinedine Zidane, or Hierro in it's day. In one case (Zidane) it was taken at a point in which he was quite tired of football as a whole and was near retirement. In the other case aswell, it was near retirement. I think Carraguer is not under this circunstances, so it's not a case of having to dossify his strenght in order to perform well.

I always felt that both Carraguer and Gerrard were misused in the English squad, and other men were given more priority, whether that's the reason to quit I don't know, but whatever Carraguer decides it's ok, and it can be only good for the club, the only bad side I see is that Carra will receive some stick from London, but I don't think he cares.

I think he made the right decision. McLaren was unfair to him. Top decision CArra

Great news.

by **Kopite187** » Sun Jul 08, 2007 2:55 pm

some say its an honor to play for your country, but he is wasting his career by travelling worldwide to endup sitting on the bench expecting to get 10 - 20mins gametime..he is clearly a first team player.

great news for liverpool, england dont deserve him

for me carra is the best defender in the country if not the world and that aint a biased opinion its just the way i see it, england have took the :censored:

out of him for too long and he should tell them where to go next time they call him up to be a bench warmer

by **redmikey** » Sun Jul 08, 2007 4:29 pm

well done carra , steve mclown dosn't use him and sven always shat on him so he is better off ,let the papers put pressure on ledley king who has never preformed any where near the standards carra has for the last three years

by **dawson99** » Sun Jul 08, 2007 4:49 pm

he`s not English anyway he`s scouse, so from that point of view its good news, once the county of merseyside gains independence and we officially become a country he can captain the side

If its true.....england have lost their best central defender.....

by **tubby** » Sun Jul 08, 2007 6:16 pm

I say

England there never going to win anything anyway. Good choice lad!

Fook England.

Carra will be making the right decision.

I'd like Stevie G to retire from international football after EURO 2008.

by **tubby** » Mon Jul 09, 2007 8:57 am

I doubt that will happen. Stevie is one of the few players that actually puts in a decent performance in and England shirt and is often the only posative talking point and whats more he sounds like he really enjoys playing for England.

Maybe when hes 29 or so then yeah but next year would be too early for him.

theres more talk in the papers today saying Mclaren is trying to persuade carra not to quit but i think once jamies mind is made up ther will be no changing it.Jamie will just say to him youv'e took the :censored:

out of me, playing wes brown, and ledley king, and joanathon woodgate before me, and rio ferdinand(the most overated defender in the world)
