He’s a calculated risk apparently

Mind boggling decision given Dunk has been hapless the last few months and Guehi gave the ball away at least 3 times the other night and in dangerous situations

luke shaw didn't play when he was need in the last few games of the season, so he could be ready to play for england. There is a pretty good chance he will be injured again playing for england and then be unavailable to play for united for months. United pay his wages, it is all wrong

Apparently the German squad celebrated wildly after hearing that GREALISH had been culled- they had marked him as a major problem

Grealish needs to move from Man City if he wants to get back into the England team.

He hasn't settled at Man City, I think West Ham wouldn't be a bad move for him as they're a decent team, and it could build his confidence back up.

grealish has been useless in more england games than he has been useful.

It's not about individuals, it's about a coherent team and Southgate hasn't worked that out yet or he would have players known for their team play rather than their individual ability

Well it's a good thing that you said it first and not me, because nobody can accuse you of having an agenda against him because of him playing for Villa at one time, plus him also being a Villa fan.

you should give Koeman this advice though :skull:


him sticking with what he already knows (but has the mold on it): Daley Blind, Georginio Wijnaldum, rather than trying out something new

I bet those two end up being the best players !

There’s a story circulating suggesting that the senior players questioned Southgate as regards his decision to ditch Grealish .

They claimed they needed to know so they could explain the decision to the rest of the squad!!


Sounds like things aren’t quite as rosy as we are being led to believe!!

SoccerAid on Sunday evening


Both teams are in training as we speak ..


Interestingly Theo Walcot has apparently challenged Usain Bolt to a sprint race .. not 100m but more likely 40 to 60 metres !!


If anyone learns the result or sees a clip please let us know in this thread. !


My money is on Theo !!

Always watch this

if anyone questions his decisions they will be sent home.

Grealish has played about 2 full games all season, he has been crap. It wouldn't surprise me if city offload him over the next few weeks

Yet the squad were still mystified


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

the squad can be outwardly mystified while laughing on the inside. Grealish is a disruptive drunk

When in reality .. he was by far the most popular lad in the dressing room


Martin Keown ( of all people) said that he would have taken just for his positive influence with the others who maybe away for 3 weeks or so

I would have taken Grealish and Maddison instead of Bowen and Gordon



The German dressing room are still cheering and laughing at the same time

Yeah, that never happened.

The all encompassing FOOTBALL thread !!
 

Well it did !

One of Germany’s top soccer writer /reporter relayed the whole story on TalkSport . They had even done sessions in response to all the free kicks they expected him to win on his side of the pitch.

What do you want me to do with that? Firstly, Germán players aren't lining up to tell English journalists how weirded out they are by an English squad selection. Secondly, even that tiny sentence seems to be more about who is going instead of Grealish, and thirdly and finally, nothing in this miniscule amount of information indicates celebration.

The all encompassing FOOTBALL thread !!
 

That is what was reported


You have to read between the lines like most things

The German guy on TalkSport told what happened behind the scenes in the dressing room .. these guys pay good money for little snippets from back room staff.

Obviously the official story won’t include any possibly embarrassing detais

[emoji3456]Spurs are preparing a package of personal terms for the forward, who scored four goals in 17 Premier League games after returning from a suspension that prevented him from featuring in the first half of the season.
