[Football] England arrivals - Dunky always looks grumpy there?

[Badger Boy]

If Mainoo played for Brighton he would be nowhere near that squad.

Mainoo is a sensational player - his potential is unlimited. Every statistic is in his favour and you'll be embarrassed by this post within the next year.

I hope Lewis finally get to play for England against decent opposition...

I believe that was what GS said in his interview (sort of) (at 19:32). I believe LD is one of those players that need to be tested still?

 

[nickjhs]

Think he genuinely doesn't like a few of the squad and that is what it is all about. Also why he hadn't been picked sooner.

slab head in particular

I can see why White doesn't want to be there. The atmosphere looks TOXIC.

 

[Uh_huh_him]

Did Ben White and Dunky get on?

Deffo something going on why Ben White has withdrawn from England squads - yes I've heard the story about waistcoat's assistant, but is there more?

Pretty sure they got on well.

White always had good things to say about Lewis, certainly.

 

[Home and Away]

A bit more happier this time around.

Don't doubt his quality. Not my point.

Off on a tart’s outing.

Maybe it's not as welcoming environment as media has portrayed for all the players ?

I’d imagine it’s pretty toxic and unwelcoming to newbies with established players in their cliques and a bunch of inadequate coaches trying to teach a bunch of talented players new tricks. I hope Dunky has a good tournament if picked but I’m not sure I’d want to be buddies with a lot of them. I’d imagine Ben White will enjoy his summer and start the new season refreshed whereas the rest will start the season knackered.

I'm not sure there is any evidence of this at all.

Ben White's issues are well reported to be between himself and the management personnel. At least from the impression social media interactions give, Dunky is very popular with players in the squad. Real Madrid's Jude Bellingham regularly refers to Lewis as "Dunkinho".

This runs counter to everything shown and said about the current England set up by the current players, ex players and media. What you're describing is what it appeared to be in the naughties and early 10's.

Talk about reading everything into nothing!

Noticed that Dunk was part of the only group of players to arrive together in the same car, alongside Joe Gomez & Aaron Ramsdale, which debunks the idea he hasn't integrated in the squad at all.

The simple explanation would be that in a group of 30+ you're inevitably going to get a range of personalities. Dunky perhaps being the more quiet and reserved type

Or suggests they're the players they couldn't be bothered to lay on individual cars for

Blimey, what an excruciating watch that was. So much faffing around these players. What's with all the hugging?

Credit to the fella with his boots in a carrier bag though.

Also, is it bad that I didn't even recognise at least two of those arrivals?

Some luggage and bag envy going on here.

That story about the bust-up with the assistant because he didn't watch the match video sounds very likely, whatever Waistcoat says. I can imagine White saying I've done the training now I want to relax in my room. If he was then hauled out in front of the class for not doing his homework he seems the type to say I can't be bothered with this shit, I'm off.

And age ranges too.
