He always reminded of a Dolphin, not sure why?
The Mirror quotes the Aston Villa striker Marlon Harewood as saying that he is looking forward to playing in the UEFA Cup with his club next season. Villa are currently in a great position to qualify for the top six in the English Premier League and the former West Ham United striker says that he is eager to feature in Europe again next season.
He says:
My one experience of Europe ended very quickly so I’d like to put that right.
Premier League clubs are doing well in Europe this season and we want some of that. We’ve got the quality here to do that.
That’s what the gaffer wants too. Martin O’Neill is used to Europe from his time at Celtic and he wants this club in that bracket.
Yet doubt remains, not on whether the Midlands club can qualify for the UEFA Cup or not but on whether Harewood would be featuring for the team. Villa manager Martin O’Neill has already spoken of his desire to revamp the team in the summer to bolster his team for Europe next season and Harewood would remain at Villa Park next season, it is not guaranteed that he will feature heavily for the Villains.
Not every player on this planet would let the chance to play for his national team go to waste but then again not every player is Marlon Harewood. The Aston Villa striker has declared that playing for his club is more important at the moment than featuring for his nation Barbados. This comes in response to the Barbados coach Eyre Sealy reportedly interested in luring first generation Barbadorian Harewood in England.
Harewood says:
My whole family are Barbadian but playing for Barbados hadn’t really crossed my mind. Truthfully my dad used to say ‘don’t go back to Barbados because it’s not as good as playing for England.’ Probably later on, maybe in another couple of years, I’ll consider playing for them but not at this moment. I followed Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago in the World Cups and I think Barbados are trying to do something similar and get players like myself who are Barbadian to play for them.
Is Harewood right to defer his decision whether to play for Barbados or not?
