Summer Transfer Speculation (its just two months away)
Calvert-Lewin to West Ham & Antonio to Everton. Wonder what odds are on that?
Can't see it myself tbh. -
Summer Transfer Speculation (its just two months away)
City have spend £130mil on Gonzales (22), Cherli (21) and Reijnders (26) because of the drop off of Gundogan/KDB/Kovacic etc.Our midfield is pretty poor and very old, it needs legs and energy and these 2 could provide that
That "very old" thing always makes me smile
Gundogan is 34, Salah and De Bruyne 33 (so is Casemiro but...), Son 32, Kovacic 31, Bruno Fernandes 30, Rodri 29
Age isn't so important with the levels of fitness these days and youth is no match for quality in the top flight
Alvarez is 27, hardly ready for his Freedom Pass
Liverpool bought Gravenberch (22), Mac Allister (24) and Szoboszlai (23) in a single window to repalce their midfield of Fabinho, Henderson ans Thiago who all dropped off around 30
Its not just the age, its energy and this midfield lacks energy...and no energy isnt fitness, it's show you get around the pitch and how you engage and press
We need new legs, legs to provide a spark and new impetus

Just seen how the West Indies lost all ten of their fourth innings wickets in one session. This could have been England at one point in history or another. -

Intentionally left out Cornet and Aguerd, just can't see them playing for us again
Also internationally left out the youth players who didnt feature last season, so no Earthy, Carey, Potts, Sywer etc.
So 19 players, 2 of whom are U21 so don't need registering (so 17)
Of the 17, 6 are homegrown and 11 are foreign, so we have 2 more HG spots and 6 non-HG without even looking at sales
Of that list it wouldn't be surprising to see 5 or so players leave....Kudus, Guido, Irving, Emerson and Soucek likely according to ""reports"
Gonna be a rough summer, club will have to get creative -
Couldn't think - June 2025 onwards
Really interesting film, I love it when you get those little insights as to what really goes on behind the scenes.
Blimey though, I would never have recognised Alan Hudson.I feel right old now. -

They had a much better approach in the 4th innings than they have had when batting in some other matches. Yes, they tried to be positive, but they were a lot more sensible when conditions were more difficult, almost, dare I say it, as though there was some element of old style Test cricket mixed in with Bazball. As much as it's fun to see them trying to score at 6 an over, sometimes you have to accept that the conditions are too difficult for that, and you have to bat accordingly. Very good chase today, well done lads 👏👏👏. -

364 all out, England need 371. Considering they were 287-3, we've finished them off quite well. It's a very gettable target at Headingly, but it's all about how well Bumrah bowls. We really could do with not losing a wicket this evening. -

A decent enough over, a triple wicket maiden 😂🤣😂. -

Really enjoyable day’s cricket that.Stiil in the balance after three enthralling days, just as test cricket is meant to be. -

Thank goodness for the DRS, Root got a rank bad lbw decision that he immediately reviewed; it was going miles down the legside.
