If that's true, then wrong on both counts imo. Hodgson has worked closely with Zamora but I don't believe he's done anything like enough for that level.
Shame about Wa;lker but Johnson and Richards are adequete. Rio clearly past his best but may still have something to offer and similarly with Terry - perhaps Rio has said he can't play alongside Tery which is a shame that he should feel like that or miss out, but equally I think we can ill afford to play them both and so it probably takes a decision away.
I would take Crouchy over Zamora any day. Real shame about Walker, but im not bothered about Rio. We cant afford to base our plans around a centre back partnership that is in tatters (Terry and Rio) especially when they are both a little past it, both a litle slow, and rio is a bit injury prone. Terry and Cahill for me. Roll on 1pm!
