All this talk about Julian not being good enough to be an international is nonsense. If you look at the Argentina roster, their keepers are utter pony if club stature and appearances this season are anything to go by. Romero, Ustari and Andújar have all been warming the bench. Speroni has kept 10 clean sheets against Premier League opposition this season and has performed extremely well. In my opinion his catching of crosses has never been better. The only regularly playing Argentinian goalkeeper is Orión who plays in the inferior Argentinian league, keeping fewer clean sheets than Jules and is third choice for the national side. None of these goalkeepers I've mentioned have shown particular promise and so I think Jules deserves a squad place. I ain't got nuthin' funny to say. Sorry.

Quote Bin Liner at 31 Mar 2014 7.05pm Quote Qwijibo at 31 Mar 2014 6.46pm Quote dynamicdick at 31 Mar 2014 6.40pm Speroni should be playing for Argentina, his home Country. For him to be considered World Class he needs to be playing International football regularly which, he is not. The two saves he made on Saturday were phenomenal, the second defied belief. I don't think that he has ever played for Argentina and hopefully this will change but play for England....No They've never heard if him in Argentina! Think it was Tim Vickery who did a piece on him a few months ago. He's off their radar completely, whether due to ability or lack of exposure I'm not sure. I cant believe that now, PL is shown all over the planet.He should play for Argentina though [Link] I'm sure the management are aware of his existence but may not give him the credibility of some of their other candidates. For example, jules refers to videos being sent over. Not an ideal assessment, national bosses are probably going to side with a player they know better, rather than a player with limited top flight exposure.

Most impressed with Speroni's interview. He speaks better English than many home bred players and gives a straight answer! Asked about playing for Argentina or England he naturally wanted to represent his home country but said it would be an insult to all his English friends to turn down any chance to play for England - but he thought it very unlikely. Also said mustn't get carried away by the Chelsea result as next match vital too. Likeable, sensible bloke who seemed to impress our TalkSport Peterborough fan as well! Man and boy Palace since my first game in 1948 sitting on my dad's shoulders

I've never been a fan of this residency thing, I know cricket and rugby milk it for all its worth, but I've always wanted the English football team to stay totally English........until now anyway, my palace biased has made me think bollox to my principles, I'd love to see Jules play for England, if his country don't want him, we'll have him, he's better than Ruddy, Forster and Foster that's for sure!! Plus he hasn't made the mistakes Joe Hart's made this season!! Jules has also ousted Nigel Martyn as my all time best palace team keeper after now proving himself in the top flight.......and no-one has made my all time best team since the early 90's, no-ones been worthy.....so he must be good

As I understand it, Jules also has an Italian passport. Have Italy got any decent stoppers? I should have thought Jules was on the radar in both countries - after all, they regularly screen Premiership action.
