Almunia open to England call-up
-
Arsenal goalkeeper Manuel Almunia has not ruled out the possibility of representing England in the future.
The 30-year-old has yet to be capped by Spain and will qualify to play for England in a year's time having spent four years with the north London club.
"They (Spain) have never, never called me," said Almunia.
"If other people want me, I have to study my situation and take a decision because it is good for me - I will not close myself to anything." -
He could be the solution to england goalkeeping problem...the local brits all are f.u.c.k.e.d up. None is up to the world class standard....though i wouldn go to an extent claiming Almunia is a proven world class goalkeeper, but he certainly deserves some credit for his sterling performance for Arsenal this season. Dont forget he is the chosen first choice goalkeeper ahead of Jens Lehmann, who is Germany's no.1 gooalkeeper.Originally posted by omgukilledkenny:

Another good thing about him is his reliability, which i think is the quality most england players, not only goalies are lacking.
