Every summer it seems. 2022 Mazzu to Anderlecht 2023 Geraerts to Schalke Now 2024 Blessin to St Pauli

There's some truth in that, but I think if we don't even give Rushworth the chance to prove himself with the first team then we're doing him a disservice after years at the club. Maybe he's good enough to oust Bart? Bart will also be sold at some point in the next couple of seasons assuming...

He's a fine third choice, behind Verbruggen and Rushworth, which would be my preferred scenario. The question is whether anyone would actually buy him off us or if he'd have to run down his contract.

It really highlights what an absurdly good job the Bilbao academy does. Given their restrictions that players must come from the Basque region (not even just Spain) and yet they are one of the teams who have never been relegated from La Liga. To be able to consistently field top flight quality...

England's likely opponents are the Netherlands, who have also looked poor. Then Italy, who have also looked poor. Then maybe Austria, who have actually been the surprise package of the tournament. Spain and Germany on the other side of the draw. Once again England fall on the favourable side of...

Both Denmark and Slovenia are about to advance without winning a game. England to win the group having played like a wet shart all tournament. What a group this has been. Yet another wasted free kick.

There's no movement at all, so rigid. Guehi making a fool of himself again. Remember, Slovenia are playing on their left wing Jan Mlakar, a player that we released after failed loan spells at QPR and Wigan. England are playing the POTS from the Premier League, La Liga and Bundesliga.

Does anyone rate him apart from Southgate? He just runs a lot and makes reckless challenges.

Currently in Colombia, the commentators here love to bring the drama even for moments that really don't warrant it. They've been panning England's performance so far and rightly so.

True, I've just become accustomed to him as a RB that I forget he can play CB. Maybe Offiah might be ready to step up too, but that still leaves a lack of left-sided options.

Dunk, Igor, JPVH and injury prone Webster to cover 3 CB slots for the whole season. Moder and Baleba aren't the answer either imo.

To be completely honest, I disagree with the idea but it wouldnt surprise me if he was sold with a healthy sell on clause. Rushworth is competing long term for the first team slot with Verbruggen and Beadle (and still Steele is contracted for a while yet). There's really no guarantees for him...

KDH, Wieffer, Baleba, Gilmour, Moder, Milner and Hinshelwood would be a decent set of PL midfield options assuming Dahoud and Gross leave. People talking of adding even more CMs when Hurzeler's system only plays two of them, surely it's not necessary. I think we need another CB if we're going...

Remarkable amount of very specific Potter era knowledge there from a new Swedish member. I would say generally that the club have been pretty good at finding clubs for our deadwood. They don't tend to run down their contracts here, we usually find at least loan clubs. Locadia went to MLS...

All of which adds to his marketability and therefore value. I think you're being blinded by blue and white tinted glasses.

De Bruyne was injured half the season, is a world class player, and has performed on the biggest stages (UCL finals and international tournaments) for years consistently. Although now on the decline there were several years that he was arguably the best midfielder in the world. As much as we...

I've said for a while that Baleba-Gilmour has the potential to be a hell of a midfield duo, they each account for the others weaknesses and bring something unique to the table. Problem is that neither of them is consistent enough to perform week in week out. By the end of 24-25 hopefully they...

Problem with Sarmiento is that he's yet another of our players whose best position is left wing. Mitoma, Osman, Adingra, Enciso, then there's also João Pedro, March and Barco who can play there. At least there's not Fati there too anymore.

Agree, Chouchane has been around for quite some time and not made a mark. If Marc Leonard, at a similar age and coming off two stellar lower league loans, is still deemed likely to be sold, Chouchane will really need an extraordinary loan to put himself in the first team picture. Not seen...

Beadle too, I would say he has a similarly high ceiling to Verbruggen.
