Valery Karpin! ... I was wondering what happened to that guy.
Was a very decent winger - and that Real Sociedad side he was in the early 2000's was quite good.
Darko Kovacevic, Taifun Korkut, Nihat Kahveci, Javier de Pedro .... and Xabi Alonso 😉
Very unlucky not to win the league title in 2003.
Oh and yeah Riera >🙁

Meh. Not bothered. He has to know he won't be playing at the World Cup anyways.

Yar.
I'd have David Silva, Santi Cazorla and Juan Mata on the wing before him.
Would even try Diego Capel.

Iniesta might even get some time on the flanks too, depending on Spain's formation.
Would be interesting to see if Sergio Canales makes the squad as a wildcard.

I bet their fall is due to Manchester City sudden wealth and ability to invest in players... It is very difficult to beat the shit teams when Manchester City all of a sudden has a lot of money... People have to understand that all good teams need more money.

Riera really is a bellend. Despite the 'balance' he brought to the side. He really was/is a mediocre half-arsed arrogant cretin who graced the pitch like he'd already made it.
[/quote]
Well, I agree with your view on Riera, and obviously that is one simple issue where me and Rafa also view things the same.
However, putting ourselves in the position where this "half-arsed arrogant cretin" is our real natural left side winger and still refuse to give him a sniff and instead shuffling anyone who is willing to run onto a pitch in that position is simply poor managing of our teams interest. I am no Rieara fan, but last season he put in some real decent performances for both us and the spaninsh national team which was the by far best national team in the world. Given the right circumstances he could have solved a problem for us on the pitch. if Rafa has a problem with him of the pitch I really dont fucking care. Because Rafa has shown so many weaknesses this season and no fucking sign of changing poor teams or line ups or tactics for that matter. I can live with a "half-arsed arrogant cretin" when the alternative is so much worse....

Dont think he would of made it anyway! Most of the potential spanish midfielders are all starting with their clubs! And in absolutely flying form too!

Ha.
But you know it won't. You know everyone, EVERYONE has called Riera the cunt for stepping out of line. I don't think anyone has criticised Rafa for the way he's handled this. I'd still play him though.

He'a a Grade A Prick and Mark's right, you just get that impression that he thinks he's the best left winger about.
The sooner he leaves, the better.

I can't disagree with this Sheik old chap, everyone has him down as being a cunt for what he has said ,and lamping little Danni Pacheco, but we don't know what happened there either do we?
Rafa has had it in for Riera since even before the start of the season.

well he did not include him in the squad for the opening game against spurs. And did not get a game for weeks and questioned the reason why. I think rafa made up something about him having a hangover from the confederations cup.

Apparently Riera has been sent home early from training several times from training for various misdemeanours. He was also injured for quite a while. Rafa having something against him makes for far better reading when you have an agenda against the manager.

I'm guessing Riera is on bigger money here than he would be in Russia.
Why should he move ?
[/quote]
To get into the World Cup squad.
[/quote]
Maybe it's worth the guaranteed couple of million quid he'd lose if he did move ?

That's the player's decision ultimately.
But it gives you a good indicator of where Albert's priorities lie. A bit like Lucas Neill really.

At the time Rafa said he'd deemed himself unavailable for one of our games (a friendly or the Spurs match I think) and then traveled away with the Spain squad days later.
