Best fullback in the Eredivisie and nice lad to boot. Not sure we’ll be looking at a left back though.

Pep is the best manager of all time imo.

If a striker’s conversion rate is above 25% that’s considered very, very good.

Can we just end this season now ffs.

Wheyyyy. Game over.

Rashford in

Sounds mean but Gordon isn’t exactly staking his case in front of Southgate.

Wish we’d have gone for Palmer. Great player.

Wasn’t particularly impressive at Roma tbh (I know they won a trophy but that was more down to Mourinho and his recruitment).

You selfish bastard.

We’ve never battered an Ange-led spurs.

Does anyone really do “smokescreens”?

Our best first xi is better than Villa’s but they have better squad depth. I do think Spurs have a slightly better first xi and depth than we do, though.

Really like Ederson too.

An Eddie Howe coached Onana could be something special. He may not be the technically-gifted midfielder we’re screaming out for but his physicality is unrivaled; would be perfect for Howe-ball.

Nketiah is a mid-table quality striker on 100k a week. Not exactly a good presser and, shockingly, in his mid-twenties now. Even as a back-up option it’d be a strange transfer for us.

One of our most important players. Annoying to lose him for that amount of time.

Beren and his kids to be banned from viewing matches at the stadium as well iirc? (safety smiley )

ESR would be a no-brainer if he wasn’t so injury-prone. Also a right-footer that plays on the left, which we have a few of already. Mbuemo for the rw/back up striker slot would be my realistic pick for the summer. So underrated and suits our play-style.

I reckon he’s starting Hendo , unfortunately. Also think Rashford only has to score 3 goals from now until the end of the season to undeservedly get on the plane.

All right- slow work day - what do you lot reckon Gareth (lager, sometimes cider) will go for then?

Big fan of Chilwell but you can’t rely on him fitness-wise.

Ah really? Fair. Think I’d almost have Trippier on the left over Chilwell though.

I think I’d go for the team Magpie put but: Foden on the left, Bellingham at 10, Shaw at left-back and perhaps controversially I’d have TAA in the middle. Gordon to be used as the supersub when situations call for it.

Foden, Bellingham, Rice, Saka, Stones and Kane should all be absolute non-negotiable starters for England.
