A point here would be a reasonable return - two evenly matched teams in the main.
Anything more, lovely jubbly.
The big test is how we deal with Alvarez' absence. Suspect a midfield three of Soucek, JWP, Paqueta - no place for Phillips.

Re: The Summer Transfer Thread 2024
I can't see it, personally. I reckon he'll end up playing for one of our North London neighbours (with Spurs possibly shifting Richarlison so as to do the deal). Not sure he plays with the intensity Aussie Ardiles wants. Bargain punt for Arsenal possibly, if they can offload Nketiah. Jesus is anoth...

Re: The Summer Transfer Thread 2024
One thing I didn't realise with Toney is how much of a chunk of any fee Peterborough and Newcastle are entitled to. That's changed my mind a bit about Brentford's desire to cash in though Thomas Frank was quite blatantly saying he expected him to be sold this summer in the media the other day.

We'll be laughing if we draw The Dog and Duck of international football given his record against them.

Re: The Summer Transfer Thread 2024
I'm not seeing much to suggests he trusts any of those in italics or red. Including making Phillips one of his bigger money signings this summer. I don't think we'll see the wild numbers of signings some are suggesting for this summer (as usual) but I do think someone that can fill (and improve on)...

Re: The Summer Transfer Thread 2024
Going by your 20 trusted players mark (which I think is pretty spot on), it's an even starker gap. I'd say there are 13 players definitely in that group and a number of doubtfuls. Areola, Fabianski Zouma, Mavropanos, Coufal, Emerson, Aguerd, Ogbonna , Johnson , Cresswell Alvarez, Soucek, JWP, Phill...

They, and Kehrer, were superfluous, imo.
Moyes needs 20 senior players who he trusts, rather than 23 with 8 or 9 who he doesn't.
The academy should be providing players 21-25 in the PL set up.

Re: England -v- Brazil & then -v- Belgium
Watkins will have been the biggest loser last night. He himself hasn’t even played badly but Toney looked a better fit and Bowen probably did enough to get in the squad which means the 23 will have Kane, Toney, Bellingham and Bowen as centre forward options, probably in that order. Rashford can be ...
