[Lucas Leiva]

Shame Osama is injured. You'd feel he would've made the 46 if he wasn't.

[Stuckey]

Yeah sad Djite and Malik have had their season interrupted with injury.
How does Taggart get a call up he is yet to play for Fulham yet?
I hope Juric sets the training camp alight and is a key figure in games. Playing someone like him upfront is important IMO.

Because he's a good player?

So is Harry Kewell. At least he's holding training sessions!

[adelaidebloke]

Taggart is on the mend, will be back soon

[DMT]

No Elrich?

[Prestoz]

What does AP need to pick 46 players for?
He has thus far "experimented" with 42 players, taking us to 107th spot in the process (because results don't matter it is all about development).
I would have thought he would be completely settled on a squad by now and have no need for further procrastination.

How does Luke Wilkshire - who is currently playing with Feyenoord - miss out?
And how does Josh Kennedy - who is injured - get in?

Most other countries do it as a 50 man provisional squad.

From what I have read today Ange said he kept it at 46 as these are the players he is looking at.

Who the hell says 'development' for full time professional players ?

I think you need to comprehend English better

[Knight15]

Given so few of our players are playing in any 'big leagues', Wiltshire should definitely have had a look in (unless he has said he doesn't want to?) Also Scott MacDonald - at least he's getting a regular start at a higher level than most

Of course he is being at Millwall

Question marks over Wiltshire's attitude - there have been some behind the scenes issues with Wiltshire that resulted in him being dropped by the Socceroos. Wilsthire is now of the age where he is not part of the long term future of the Socceroos and Ange is better off picking someone for the future.

If you read the entirety of my post and comprehend the context thereof, it will become obvious even to a fool, that my comment "because results don't matter it is all about development" was intended to convey sarcasm.

But as is often the case, it's "pearls before swine".

Bresiano and Kennedy and McKay ?

Easier to find a replacement for Wiltshire than Bresc or Kennedy, and McKay has shown he can play the Ange style.
