Just seen he's not been picked for the world cup, the three are; Romero, Andujar, Orion

Very harsh what's a guy got to do to get noticed?

Lower Holmesdale; Block J.

They say death smiles on all of us, all a man can do is smile back.

Really sorry for Jules, but as long as he stays here and perform up to his standard I'm happy. And I don't think Pulis will be shipping him out, he knows that Speroni is up to it as a PL keeper, and the affection he holds among the fans. A huge mistake by the manager if he lets him leave.

It would be a very brave manager to not take Messi to a world cup, there would be riots in buenos aires. Unfortunately Jules does not have the same profile and I can kind of understand them sticking with keepers who have served time in their national sides set up.

It's been said before, but it bears repeating - those three guys must be ****ing sensational if they're keeping Speroni out of contention.

A Telegraph article from two months ago reported the concerns in Argentina about Romero and Andujar's form and lack of recent gametime.

Both are currently on loan (at Monaco and Catania respectively) and while they both seem to have had purple patches of good form some years ago, neither of them have been pulling any trees up recently.

It is funny isn't it. We are talking about how nuts it is that he isn't in the World Cup squad and yet we have another thread talking about whether he will even get into our team next season with some people agreeing it may be time for him to go...

I do remember reading somewhere that those who play outside Argentina are often forgotten/excluded from the national team in favour of those who ply their trade closer to home. I know that someone will probably respond with a list of Argies who play outside of the country and are in the national team but I can't be bothered to fact check it myself.
