African & Asian Nations Cups - Who's Going Missing

[Frogfish]

African Nations Cup : 17th January to 8th February 2015
Asian Nations Cup : 9th - 31st January, 2015

I looked these up myself so some may not be going or I may have missed someone off the list.

Everton, Hull, Southampton, Leicester, Palace, West Ham, QPR and maybe Newcastle, losing two important players, look like the teams going to be worst hit relative to their squad size and missing first teamers.

Brad Jones is an amateur? That explains it ...

City without Yaya when Aguero and Dzeko are already injured - easy for Chelsea!

 

[Brizzle]

Its crazy just how much disruption this causes to some teams. West Ham losing a few very key players, as are Southampton. Bony for Swansea is also a huge loss.

Great news for us if we go on a mini run in the next 4 - 5 games.

Ali Bernabia is 46 years old. Is he still at Man City????

 

[mark1975]

I wonder if this is why we've suddenly tried to shoe Can into the backline?

Everton looking a bit thin up front.

Everton looking a bit thin up front.

Racist.

 

[mark1975]

Sizeism thrown in too. He's proper hardcore.

 

[cloggypop]

I did not say anything bad about Naismith being a bit ginger. He is Scottish so will probably be a right fat bastard eventually though.

Amended ! I couldn't find a list of current players so used the Wikipedia one of all foreign players that had played in the PL. Some slipped though the net 😀

Traore isn't still at Everton is he?

[article=http://www.espnfc.com/blog/football-asia/153/post/2213062/forgotten-man-nathan-burns-selected-in-australia-squad-for-afc-asian-cup]Brad Jones (Liverpool) was overlooked. The three goalkeepers are Mat Ryan (Club Brugge), Mitch Langerak (Borussia Dortmund) and Eugene Galekvoic (Adelaide United).[/article]

Morocco won't be taking part in Africa Cup of Nations (Adel Taarabt, Oussama Assaidi, Marouane Chamakh).

New Zealand (Winston Reid) aren't involved in Asian Cup too. Alex Song was left out of Cameroon's squad that was announced last week too.

 

[mark1975]

*phew*

 

[cloggypop]

So Eugene Galekvoid of Adelaide United is better than our current (when fit) first choice keeper.

 

[Brizzle]

Perfect time for us to play West Ham too without Reid, Song, Sakho

Binny just said Reid and Song aren't away; so just Sakho who's out.

Dammit! Apologies to @King Binny for missing that..

Thanks @King Binny !
