I really think Osman could start tomorrow! There is 7 midfielders in the squad. Hodgson has confirmed Wilshere won't start. The rumours is that the training has been based on a 4-3-2-1 (a website NEWS).
Gerrard will start in the middle obviously and then you have more than likely Young and Sterling either side of the lone striker, that leaves 2 places in the middle with Gerrard and that is out of Cleverly, Osman and Huddlestone. You would expect Cleverly to start and surely Osman has to be in ahead of Huddlestone!!?
Whatever happens I really hope he gets on the pitch and shows everyone (some everton fans aswell!) just how good a player he is, Ive always said even years ago his style is well suited to International football and he will do well, the only shame is that he has been called up 3 or 4 years too late, long over due this and he should of had 20-30 caps by now in my opinion! Christ, if Gareth Barry has 30 odd caps then how has Osman not been giving a few!? Some of the tripe in past squads has been shocking!
GOOD LUCK OSSIE!!

Steve {Ed025's Note - i echo that steve..

As everyone probably knows by now he IS starting alongside Stevie GBH. Happy days for Ossie and all connected with Everton. Thoroughly deserved as well and a top bloke and pro too..

Well, your spot on Steve because it was announced that Osman is starting. Really pleased for him, hope he does himself justice, he deserves to have a cap as you say some of the players that have been in squads over the years it would of been a injustice if Ossie hadn't of been giving a cap!

Funny story for all, was out with friends, some of who are red supporters, and inevitivly the discussion proceeded to blues against reds, and each slagging off the other sides players exc.. however the slagging turned to the jeli man, and the reds slagging how he had no 2nd touch, now my wife who wouldnt know football from rugby commented as quick as you could snap, 'of course he doesnt have a 2nd touch, cause his 2nd touch is a celebration', she had apparently seen me reading a story online that had this as its headline!! anyhow it shows even if she knows nothing about football, she at least knows shes a blue!!

Apparently felli has been quoted saying "Fell, "I've seen everything with Everton and in January or at the end of the season, I will turn to a new club or a new league."
I can't see him saying that especially after last time he apparently spoke to Belgium press! But can't be too sure! What do you think ed!? {Ed025's Note - i have a distinct mistrust of all the press, they are liars and charlatans.. and after hillsborough who can trust a word they say...well certainly not me mate..

I wouldn't believe it. How often do stories like this happen on international duty? Seems to happen every single time.

Mike {Ed025's Note - they do mike, your right...the gutter press have nothing to write about, so making up stories tends to sell more papers, well it does if you are gullible, and believe that tosh..

That quote is from back in August when he got fined remember. It's just the press dragging it up again for gullible people to believe.

So we can honestly say we might be losing Fellaini sooner rather than later ,he has being spouting of again to the Belgian media.I am not going to let this bother me cause i know either way it will be big money he goes for ,and you can rest a sure my fellow blues there is nobody better out there to spend the money than our Sir David Moyes he will bring in quality and soon Fellaini will be a distant memory.I just hope he keeps playing well for us until that time comes,i said the end of the season but i am now looking at losing him in Jan,but hey as i said he will be replaced COYB,IMWT,Stef the blue

Players will allways come and go but as long as the club and fans are here we will allways be strong. Terry blue {Ed025's Note - thats right terry..

I'd be gutted if he went but players come and players go but Everton is forever.
No one is bigger than the club, as quite a few players have found under Moyes' reign.
Moody Blue

I wonder how much of the £70million (or is it £80 million), Moyes will get to spend?

Mike {Ed025's Note - sigh...roll my eyes...shake my head...have a day off mike FFS!..

I can't believe you have all fell for it, well apart from Mike, any fool can work out those quotes are the same ones as back in August, so give the guy a break hey as it's not his fault that the press are using old quotes to stir things up. {Ed025's Note - i have a steadfast philosophy....when i doubt.. BLAME MIKE!! ;)

Exactly, it's just a rehash of the same ol' BS that was coming out when he was last on international duty. There's no way he'll be allowed to leave in January unless he puts in a transfer request, let's just enjoy him until summer and see what happens. What will be will be. As everyone says, Everton will still be here and that's the most important thing.
