'If It's Football, It's Vital'
Ready to return?
Having decided not to make himself available for selection for England for Euro 2012 Michael Carrick has revealed that he 'would consider a return to the international fold' if asked.
Prior to Euro 2012 the Man United man opted against being on stand-by for a call-up to the squad, ironically enough had he done this the chances are he would not only have gone to the Euros but also had a decent chance of getting some serious game time under his belt!
But hey ho...
You can argue that it was a case of 'cutting off his nose to spite his face' but as much as I disagree with players 'making themselves unavailable' the same could be said in reverse that if Carrick still wants to play for England should his decision not to be potentially involved at Euro 2012 be held against him, therefore the cutting off the nose thoughts?
So the 31-year-old may well still add to his 22 caps in the future...
As much as I think we need to be looking to the future now I would think there is a decent chance of this happening, as at 31 he is hardly over the hill is he!

Tghink we could have used Carrick in the Euros, if things had been a little different. I also think that we have players such as Tom Huddlestone who could be in contention this season. he has a game that is made for international football if you want a deep lying CM to tidy upo and also be able to spray passes around all day long. what I worry about with Carrick is that he will be 33 when we go to Brazil and he has never really stepped up to international football. can he suddenly do it now?
