"It's a 11 month holiday" was Trapattoni's damning verdict after Anthony Stokes pulled out of
Ireland's squad for the Carling Nations Cup. Gio couldn't understand Stokes' reason for not playing
and for him 'fatigue' didn't count as a valid reason.
Much the same way, England and more specifically Stuart Pearce couldn't understand that Wilshere
playing his first full season as a top flight footballer in the Premiership could also be
tired.
