Would Steve Finnan have a pain killer injection to play in a game? No he may want one but Rafa wouldnt give him one as Arbola could come in and do a job
Its Different for Stevie as he is our Best player and he plays pretty much whenever he can even when he maybe injured (he is that importnant!)! This would be the same for Carra (ie Everton last season) and Reina who is just as importnant to the Defence as Carra.
I dont understand why you think if there not in the spine of the team you think there not very good or what??
Torres will Probably be part of ours but I'm just saying its to early to say for sure (so were gonna have 4)
Chelsea Cech - Terry - Fat Frank - Drogba (4)
Man Utd Van Der Sar - Rio - Scholes - Ronaldo - Roony (5) (they play slightly differnt to us and Chelsea only because Ronaldo so thats why they have 5)
Arsenal Lehman - Kolo - Cesc - Gilberto (4) (Arsenal have a small squad so the experiance players they have are more importnant to them now)
Wish I never went on this topic - as you're all being so narrow minded!:
Chavs (spine)
Cech, Terry, Carvalho, Cole, Fat boy, Essien, Drogba = 7 players SPINE SPINE SPINE
Mancs (SPINE)
Van Sar, Neville (when fit), Vidic, Ferdinand, Giggs, Scholes, Rooney, Ronaldo = 8 players SPINE SPINE SPINE
Last I'll say in this topic!
Believe me, we have more spine players than you lot think - but not as many as the above!
