It seems that every A-League player with dreams of pulling on the green and gold in South Africa has been linked with a transfer/loan in the January window to ensure game time in the months leading up to the World Cup.
The problem, as I see it, is that there are lots of candidates but too few spots up for grabs.
Who will be the outfielders for the Socceroos in South Africa?
There are 20 slots for outfield players – roughly four strikers, eight midfielders and eight defenders.
The following players can pick their squad numbers now:
1. Josh Kennedy
2. Harry Kewell
3. Tim Cahill
4. Mark Bresciano
5. Scott Chipperfield
6. Brett Holman (gulp)
7. Vince Grella
8. Jason Culina
9. Brett Emerton
10. Craig Moore
11. Lucas Neill
12. Patrick Kisnorbo (muted gulp)
13. David Carney
14. Luke Wilkshire
15. Rhys Williams
I reckon the following are also certainties, only slightly less so:
16. Scott McDonald
17. Mile Jedinak
That’s two strikers, nine midfielders and six defenders (noting that there are players in that list that can play in different positions).
That’s three spots for the taking and lots of potential takers.
I’ll look at those candidates (and the goalkeepers) soon. Stay tuned!
