Our best signing of the summer, it was a great day when the news was confirmed.

In the last few weeks of last season, Cantor said it was known that Pascal wished to return home (this summer).

He should be in with a great shout for Prem Player of the Month - although Haaland'll probably get it
Towards the end of last season, along with the rumours that he wanted to return home to Germany, I like many others thought, 'Fair enough, he's done a good job for us, but with his speed (or lack of it) probably best for both parties if he moves on'. I'd have been quite happy if he'd moved on and left the job to the young guns like Caicedo, Mac and Moder.
OK. Permission to change my mind?

The guy is amazing! Would have been a big loss.

Outstanding again yesterday.
Just watched the extended highlights and rather than people worrying about Welbeck getting injured (although he had a great game yesterday, too) I'd be more concerned at Groß being out for an extended period. Such an intelligent player – the assist for Trossard's goal was sublime, but as good was the determination to chase the ball down and keep it in play initially. Some amazing long passes too to Trossard in the build-up to the first goal as well as the move where he won the penalty.
For me, it's another example where I'd argue that instead of the squad being 'weaker' this season, the existing players are just performing better. It's almost as if the people who see these players day in, day out at training have a pretty good idea about what works and what doesn't!

Wondering why he's not in the Germany squad ?
Is it PotG?

Well deserved recommendation for PFA p.o.m.

That looks a world cup quarter final squad to me.
Strength and a decent blend of youth and experience. But lacking the goal threat to upset top teams.
Sadly, I don't see Pascal improving on what they have up front, love him as I do

pasty
A different kind of pasty
Wouldn't happen in Germa...
Oh
Southgate would still have Klinsmann up front
German squad looks better and more balanced than ours.

These aren't the players you're looking for.

And they have a good chance of player of the tournament with Jamal Musiala.
The one that got away.
Yep, he's a wonderful player isn't he?!
As Nobby says above, they're maybe missing a top quality front man but their keeper, defence and midfield/attacking midfielder options are pretty special!
