Probably the case that a few of the kids can slot into the team and be effective due to their technical proficiency, but if it's primarily them they lack the experience and direction to dictate games.

Could CT finally have the hang of this LB lark?

Madrid bought him for €20m just last year, so it would be a huge sale for their balance sheet at nearly four times that amount. We were supposedly interested in him when he was at Fenerbahce. He only played in 11 games for RM last season (Joselu played in 40+) so given their options they may determine that selling him makes sense. £80m on an extremely promising 19 year old with such a pedigree in the scheme of things is not bad. Make that a 6 year contract and sell in 5 years for a profit, or extend the contract early if he's a great fit.

If we score loads of goals in it I'll like it too.

Ten years ago I met the great Frenchman.

Can we not rename him AND retain him? I reckon I'd get a Bastonelungo shirt.

Just after you were moving your finger closer to the pulse you come along like this and sever your finger entirely.

Would he cost that much? Might be worth a look is what I was thinking until I considered that we have good depth in midfield with Bruno, Tonali, Joelinton, Willock, Longstaff and Miley. Agree that it's more important to spend that money elsewhere.

I will openly deny it.

England had the players to have a go at winning, but didn't play them enough. Well played Spain. Deserved winners, had a great tournament.

Exactly, you don't say "I don't know his background" like this unless you definitely do know his background. For sure Adolf is a wonderful artist. I don't know his background.

After a bore 0-0 for 90 minutes then 7-7 in extra time after Southgate reluctantly makes some substitutions.

Casa de Ryder

Aye, they were clearly devestated from the photo gallery Selena took.

Looks a shit ton better like that too.

Not sure you want to be digging up too much history on predictions @sammynb

Having both English and Spanish blood I have already prepared my victory speech.

This attempted meme has defeated itself by putting "I don't watch actual games" on there.

@Christmas Tree totally has the hang of this management lark.

That was some finish from Watkins. Really looking forward to the final.

It is all bollocks because we can't really afford to lose him because even if there is a reasonable profit it will soon be eaten up by trying to replace him.

Oh right, I had forgotten about that. But also, typical ageist mods
