Olympic call ups

""We'd have to give Ronaldo two-months off when he returns so we wouldn't have him until November. It's ridiculous,"

Errr - Why? does a few games against kids **** you up does it?

don't they think of these things when they sign them...??

That's what ****es me off. Teams buy these players and then moan when they get called up.

Although to be fair I would be ****ed off if one of my players was picked as one of the over aged players for the Olympics.

Ferguson et al are so mean-spirited. You get the impression that if they had their way none of their players would EVER play for their country.

It should be something to be celebrated, not harped on about. I don't care how much money they've got tied up in the player - representing one's country is the pinnacle of a player's career.

Just another way of getting himself back in the papers, he ust be sick of everyone cooing over Mourinho. He knows when the Olympics are, and which teams take part in it, he should be grateful that England and Scotland don't.

Hopefully this sort of thing should enocurage clubs to buy British. If you don't buy an Australian, they won't need to go to Australia every few months, pretty simple stuff! I know Man U have had a good policy of English players over the last decade but they tend to have bought a lot of foreigners in the last couple of years.
