Is Leon Osman the best un-capped english player in the prem?

    it was being discussed on talk sport the other day but i missed most of it. When you think about it, its hard to come up with a better un-capped english player. in fact, its quite shocking that he has never been called up!

    what everyone's opinion on it?

    we were chatting about this in the office the other dayand some of the lads who are manure fans said if he played for on of the top 5 teams he would have been capped by now. 

    Technically he is a very good player.

    without question, if he played for a London club, or one of the champions league teams, then he would have a whole bunch of caps. For some reason we just seem to be a really unfashionable team to some people.

    This is quite a change from the dogs abuse Osman used to get on the BR a few years ago!!

    Osman has matured as the years have gone on, some are early starters some are late starters and ozzy fits into the latters category

    He'll have an average game soon and people will slate him again so dont worry Beano.

    How about Matt Jarvis? He was called up but didn't get on the pitch.

    The guy is an 'Iron Man' but is a little 'Paranoid' at times.

    We seem to quite often knock players of our own who have come through the system.

    Ossie can be a cracking player at times, as shown by his run of form towards the end of last season. I also thought he was pretty immense in europe a few seasons ago.

    With his technical abilities, I actually think he'd be quite suited to the game in Europe, possibly Spain

    The goal he scored on saturday was a classic "pass into the net" if rooney saurez berbotove etc had done it we'd never hear the nd of it...

    PS that "pass" into the net completed a move cosisting of 21 passes...if anyone else (manu citesy rs barca etc) had of done that they'd still be raving and showing it on sky to-day
