Reckon selling Isak would solve our issues with FFP?

Isak is the absolute last person I want to see leave this window.

Yeah, daft to rock the boat further when there's that going on. Still a little miffed that we're being the exemplary teachers pet though.

Game management? Absolutely. But this isn't the time or the place for that discussion

From the PL's persective it is working as intended. From the clubs perspective I'm not sure they want the rules tightened any further, that would be absolute suicide. I really do think there'll be pressure from sponsors, Sky Sports etc if the level drops and we see more players going to Spain, Germany etc

Yep, feels like that was the moment when everyone realised how serious the PL were about actually fucking themselves over.

And I thought Eddie Howe was poor in this regard

Yeah, I just wonder if it was a case of signing Barnes or nobody at the time, without the club properly realizing the implications further down the line or something not coming off as intended to offset or soften the PSR impact. Assumptions galore

I don't disagree with any of that (maybe the Hall bit, surely we've given Chelsea something for the last year or so....) but I just think there's a lot of assumptions being thrown about that nobody outside of a few at the club could be aware of. I'm glad we're not doing what some clubs do and just bring in anyone for the sake of it though.

But how do we know we didn't spend on a left back or a right winger because one that we wanted just wasn't available to us? I assume by this metric you're disappointed with the Lewis Hall transfer as well, given he contributed so little when we needed to spend elsewhere?

Genuine question and not trying to be a dick here - do we know this for certain?

8 goal contributions this season, one every 99 minutes is enough for me

Why do we keep bringing up Harvey Barnes in conversations about who we should or shouldn't have signed? The bloke has been very good for us ffs

I just don't understand how he's so scared to sub off (or make changes tactically with) Kane or Bellingham. Why is it that us and Scotland have the worst managers in the tournament man, what is wrong with us in the UK where we are seemingly forced to stand by these people because they're "canny". GTF, they're paid millions and are currently underperforming in their jobs, they cannot shirk all form of criticism because they seem like they'd be decent blokes to have a pint with. It really doesn't have to be this shit.

The Battle of Pelaw should be fun

This is it, he's spending time training and staying fresh whilst not overdoing it as oppose to empty heads like Jack Grealish who'll be on the laughing gas, drinking themselves daft every night.

Imagine in 20 years time looking back on this tournament and in particular this game

"England's best move of the day" and he's been on 2 minutes

Lovely pass Anthony!

Nee rush Phil

AG for 5 mins

TAA

Not sure I've ever seen a performance from a world class player as bad as this one from Jude.

What the shit was that between Guehi and Stones

What the fuck are we doing? Get to the byline and two seconds later we're being closed down outside their box going the wrong way with nothing on. This is absolutely shocking from Alan Par....Gareth Southgate.
