As serious a guy he is, creased at the thought of him hauling off and whipping it through the lad’s face

Gold Cup is the equivalent of the Euros as the chief international cup competition in the confederation. Nations League mirrors the Euro version of the same: gives smaller countries a shot at qualifying for the GC/Euros, respectively. This is supposed to be the last year in which the GC and Nations League will be held on the same summer, so you will see more A teams in both competitions going forward. If the GC had been held before the Nations League, you probably would have seen the A teams in the GC instead. Unless you’re one of the CONCACAF minnows, Gold Cup isn’t exactly a major triumph…no Confed Cup to play for either. I wish they’d scrap it in favor of merging with the Copa America. Could still have the Nations League to feed smaller teams into the CA. edit: and that’s exactly what they’re doing next year, in fact. 2023-24 Nations League will determine CONCACAF’s entrants to the joint 2024 Copa America.

They had the Nations League finals just before tbf. Euro-based players deserved a rest.

Keeper is a criminally underrated position.

Because they have Saka, Grealish, and Rashford.

I don’t think Howe hates him. But I do think he and ASM both realize the player isn’t a good fit in our system.

Gordon is 22, and judging by his performances lately for England U21s, we might look back at what we paid for him as a bargain.

We’ve known forever that ASM is not the profile of player that Howe wants in a wide forward/winger, so I find the pearl clutching a bit surprising. We relied on Miggy to provide goals from the right, while not getting a similar return from the left. Barnes would cure that.

Been around forever and he’s potentially got the better part of a decade left in him. Hope he lands somewhere relevant.

Pulisic off to AC Milan. Finally getting away from Chelsea.

Would make sense for Spurs to sell him. Probably of little use for them now.

Plymouth Timbers edit: already have the right sponsor too

For sure. They have a lot of work to do in the transfer market. They’ve got a half dozen wingbacks

Tell that to Todd

I think it’s a surprisingly shrewd hire for Spurs. The guy is a winner. Jury’s out on whether he’ll be given any time, though.

“Can’t afford his wages.” 1. Majority of the time, nobody has a fucking clue what the player’s wages are. 2. Players can and do take pay cuts for new opportunities!

How dare he not want to join us. Or, well done lad.

Jonjo, what a king.

Ugly kit, but smart move.

Please include an 8 or it can’t be considered for new thread title.

Did we run out of GIGGS plates too? you got me ignored joe? Cuts.

Hmm, don’t think we’ve targeted him for them
