I find that hard to believe TBH. Maybe he's tried and it hasn't really worked.
Wenger must have focused on him to develop him, he apparently doesnt coach defence so he must do something!
I think Walcott will find his true level at a mid table premiership side, which is a massive achievement for a footballer, but nowhere near what the press would have us believe he is.
Why haven't we seen Osman? He has twice the potential. Oh that's right, he doesn't play for a big club.

When I saw the thread was called 'Roy a step backward' I was hoping it was a quote from a photographer doing a layout for 'utter cunt monthly' and he was making a suggestion to Hodgson on top of a very high cliff with jagged rocks below. The man is an utter prick who managed to lower expectation before the tournament like only he can. I despise him. I don't support England at all. In fact I was delighted they got knocked out, and I was proved right about a ball-less appointed from a corrupt FA. fuck Ing-ur-lind and all their Swindon town/Rochdale/Northampton St Goerge flag waving twat supporters.
Ah that's better...

Interesting point. France produced loads of talents in the aftermath of Houllier's stint as technical director up to 1998, the year they won the World Cup. A more sedentary role like this would suit him too.
Rafa's still after a job in the trenches I reckon, and hasn't got the temperament for strategic, largely unnoticed work in the background. Perhaps a large offer to tempt Matthias Sammer to remodel the English game on the Germans?
Rafa, for all his faults in the field, was setting up our youth system based on barca but with an English tilt other the last two years, & the players coming through are largely thanks to his structure & foundations.
In fairness to the FA, by the time the kids about to start the 'smaller pitch, pass and move' style of play come through to the professional ranks, Uncle Woy will be long gone.
If we are going for role of technical director and counter some of Roy's more natural instincts of hoof the ball and run, I can think of no better candidate than pep guardila who is looking for a project.
But the FA will have to ensure that a pattern of play is set out, soon, at subsequent levels right up to the senior teams, or else all of that gress roots work will just be creating round pegs for square holes (sponsored by Barclays and run without the slightest interest in such initiatives by the Premier League).
Gérard Houllier, the former Liverpool manager, has taken up the role of global sports director at Salzburg.
Ralf Rangnick and Gérard Houllier have both joined a new setup at the Austrian champions Salzburg, with Roger Schmidt named as the club's head coach.
Rangnick has been linked with several coaching vacancies across Europe, including West Bromwich Albion and Tottenham Hotspur, since quitting Schalke in September last year citing exhaustion.
He has now been named as Salzburg's sporting director, while the former Liverpool and Aston Villa manager Houllier will serve as the club's global sports director.
Schmidt arrives from the Germany 2 Bundesliga side Paderborn, having guided them to a surprising fifth place last year.
Schmidt replaces Ricardo Moniz, who unexpectedly left the club following their title success this month.

Rangnick & Houllier?
If that works it'll be fucking magic, both brilliant football minds.

No I am not comparing him now to them although Ribery was pants by the way. He has the potential I believe to be a very good international winger, he needs to come to us on our right wing, do it Brendan
Are we talking about the same player? Adam Johnson, the guy who doesn't make the Man City team, who's a few weeks away from being 25, and has a total of 18 goals in his career? You think he'll be up to the standard needed to make England take it to the next level?
Are you being serious?
This is going to shreds in less than 18 months.
I know he thinks he is, but I'm wondering if he has really thought it through.
It's ok some times to say you've exaggerated and that you're being hopeful, rather than reasonable.
Roy is perfect for England as we don't have the players to play any other way than his preferred approach.
I thought, given the time he has had with the squad, that he did ok. Injuries have been a factor, as was a suspension to the best player, and we still got to where we do normally. The squad seemed a lot more together than usual and defensively we were a lot tighter, albeit at the probable cost of attacking threat.
Better penalties against Italy and we'd have lost to the Germans on penalties.

Ha !
It's more a shot back at Rooney because he said it was better having a manager everyone could understand.
Is Rooney about to deal with the Zlatan label?
Huh ?
That he rarely produces in big games --
Oooh !
He did show a real lack of professionalism, partying in Las Vegas and turning up out of shape.
Especially as he was banned for two games because he's a twat.
Poor.
