Decent, not great. He’s a great fit on the right of a front three for Holland though, and that is a position where we need reinforcements too.

 

And just as I say that he scores a scorcher vs Belgium...

Nah, not at all. He's actually quite a good pro.

 

His body just failed him. Just had a succession of injuries all the time. Couldn't go a few games without breaking down.

 

Such a shame because he was absolutely top class when he could manage to get on the pitch.

 

 

 

 

re Sturridge - I can remember reading at the time that there was a suspicion at Liverpool that he wasn't the most resilient when it came to dealing with injuries. Over-reluctant to take any risks for the sake of the team, and rather self-protective.

 

There's a pattern to many players' careers whereby they reach a certain level, and then things become more challenging because opponents have sussed them out a bit.  I just wonder whether Sturridge had the appetite for that challenge. Sometimes it's about facing up to your limitations and making the best of things.

 

I think that's happening with Dele Alli.

I think Owen was the same as well. Psychologically broken from previous hamstring injuries as a result of being speed-based in his younger days.

Wolves apparently signing Inacio for £30m. Helluva signing.

All I know is that his long passes out of defence are insane. I've said before in the Transfer Rumours thread - if we got him, we'd not need to upgrade on a keeper - just get Dubs to pass it to him for a quick long-pass turnover.

Matic to Roma. 

Such a Mourinho signing! He will probably do OK there to be fair given the slower pace!
