Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp would rather see England LOSE THE
WORLD CUP than Arsenal goalkeeper Manuel Almunia playing for the
Three Lions.
In his column for The Sun, Redknapp wrote: "An
exclusion zone needs to be enforced around Wembley.
"I am referring to the repeated calls for Arsenal’s Spanish
keeper Manuel Almunia to be called up for England — simply because
he has lived here for five years.
"I don’t care. I could not disagree more. He is not English.
"If it came to a choice between England winning the World Cup
with a Spanish keeper or not winning it, I’d rather not win.
"For a start, if we cannot produce our own footballers, our own
generation of keepers to play for England, then we don’t deserve to
win anything in the first place.
"And secondly, I would not be interested in an England team that
was full of non-English players."
Of course, Harry forgot to mention Manchester United midfielder
Owen Hargreaves, Canadian-born, but now a major England star.
