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 👏👏👏. -
Summer Transfer Speculation (its just two months away)
Went to the pub last night and a Liverpool supporter I know from dorchester, that well known suburb of Liverpool, where he’s never ever been, was crowing about that new bloke Liverpool have signed for a squillion quid. He then asked me had I heard who West Ham have signed. I, thinking I must have missed something said No. He said “Oh that’s right, no-one”.
Now I’m not a man usually prone to violence………………………….. -

I am happy to see De Bruyne go to Napoli and reject the Saudi and US approaches. I don't doubt he has sacrificed income but will get to play in the best leagues still, as his talent should.
He will be adored by the fans. If anyone has watched the Maradona documentary you will recall how absolutely lose your mind crazy the fans went when Maradona arrived at the club. He isn't quite Maradona but is one of the best I have seen. -

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. -
