English goalkeepers who have made at least one appearance for their club this season either in the Premiership or in European qualification:
Pickford
McCarthy
Foster
Hart
Hamer
Bettinelli
Heaton.
Factor in Butland (okay he's currently in the Championship) and Pope who's currently injured...
Even more puzzling when you consider that Southgate had called up 3 keepers already. If one of them had dropped out you could understand it... but at present there's more goalkeepers then strikers.
This is the same Tammy Abraham that played in the Community Shield for Chelsea a few weeks back? The same one that made 33 appearance in the Prem for Swansea last season and who scored 23 Championship goals for Bristol the season before and who has 2 England Caps? And who is still only 20 years...
Ryan Sessegnon will surely be called up within the next months.
Find the inclusion of Adam Lallana and Danny Welback far more puzzling then Shaw being called up.
Southgate's also said today that he might soon have to turn his attention to the Championship for players as the pool of English...
^This. It's time to build for the future and get the players who stand a good chance of playing in the Euro's used to playing as a team and that means moving on and away from having a squad that includes any of the following: Cahill, Vardy, Hart, Young, Heaton, Lallana,...
The Checkatrade trophy also features league 2 clubs. Will be interesting to see how our dev squad fare in European competition against the youth teams of Bayern Munich and Benfica this season.
Nope. We have as well....

Plus there's additional goal bonuses, signing on fee's, appearance fees et cetera on top. Genuinely hard to fathom where it could have gone too, but it happens regularly. Emmanuel Eboue was another one recently.
