29 years old, doesn’t sound like someone we’d go for despite his quality

At least if we we go on to win against Spain it’ll feel like we’ve earned it despite the earlier rounds. They are an amazing team so if we win it will be an incredible achievement

An unspeakably awful article https://www.theguardian.com/football/article/2024/jul/13/gareth-southgates-only-lies-in-giving-england-fans-what-they-want

It’s a big downgrade in a few senses, Luiz is much tidier on the ball. Onana is a good passer but I think he’s got a huge amount of improving to do in order to be a great midfielder. He’s young though so maybe with some top coaching his game will go up a level

@TBG can we get an update please?

Not fussed at all by Alvarez, very good build up work, less so as a striker and it’ll be more evident I think when he moves

I don’t have that much of an issue with Shearer these days. I do think he’s improved to the point of just not really impacting on my experience whereas there are others who detract from the experience

Thiaw’s 6’4, might as well change his Wikipedia now

Villa always get their business done early. There’s no way I’d pay that sort of money for Onana. He does look way better for country than club though so I’m sure he’ll look a lot better at Villa

Remarkably embarrassing on multiple levels

If we do win I’ll be happiest for Gareth then Saka after that. I hate the way he sets us up to play, it’s the opposite of how I want us to play but he’s a good person and that’s more important. Good luck and please move on after the Euros, preferably to Man U

The lad is world class, just not everyone’s aware yet

Be astounded if he’s ever considered excellent again. His game is built upon finding space in the final 30 yards and he’s a very good striker of the ball. He’s not good at anything else in my opinion. He’s not a playmaker, he’s not got an all round game

Don’t engage lads

Sounds cut and dry that they’ll have zero involvement going forwards in any capacity

Bloody hell, surprised that carries a custodial sentence. Even more surprised he didn’t do anything before it getting to this stage, even if only to save his skin. What a weirdo

It is tricky to imagine Mount being backup for multiple positions when he’s barely able to play one

Nice little earner

Fascinating developments I must add

Aye, it’s absolutely fucking class. Just renewed my Chelsea season ticket

Fucking mess

Thought Tim Howard had this one sewn up

No more challenging for the ball defenders, also keep your arms behind your backs
