Why?

I hope he absolutely smashes it there and then gets a mega money move to one of the European giants. I also hope he goes on and plays for England for the next 8-10 years. I'm not going to go all Leeds 'he's one of our own' but he is the poster boy now for what we want the academy to produce...

Fact 1: Leeds spent 15 years scratching around the arse end of the championship and league one. Brighton do you a solid by loaning you one of our promising youngsters. He plays every minute of your league season and consequently Leeds not only get promoted but win the league. Fact 2: Did...

I think some people are over playing this third best centre back claim. Defensively over the course of the season you can say it's true but he got better and better as the season went on. Particularly in the second half of the season I don't think there was much in it on the defensive front...

50million seems like a lot but just imagine how much we could have got for him if we'd loaned him to leeds for another season instead of selfishly ruining his career by forcing him against his and god's (own county's) will to play for unappreciative us.

Blimey. I'd drive the cold there myself for half of that.

White had a decent first half. What that first half has shown me is the errors Southgate has made in his squad selection. Mings is showing what a poor defender he is and how sparse our options in central defence with him and the injured Maguire in the squad. The other is that Ward Prowse...

Looks like a shoot out between White, Godfrey and Ward-Prowse for the freed up TAA slot. White starting as centre back, Godfrey right back and Ward-Prowse on set pieces...

Ben starts against Romania:clap2::clap2::clap2:

Lovely moment for Ben to make his debut. First of many appearances in an England shirt hopefully. I'd take him if TAA can't make it but I'm biased and I suspect Southgate will take either Ward-Prowse or Lingard.

It wouldn't be a major tournament without taking some key injured players. Not sure if its a good or bad thing that this time the player we're 'sweating' on is Maguire. Seems a come down form the good old days of worrying about Beckham, Owen or Rooney. The squad is made up of players from 14...

Just to make the neigh sayers heads explode a little more: Southgate has mentioned that TAA can play in midfield. My Man Utd supporting friends have said that Shaw can play left side in a back three. So, we could have Chillwell LWB, Shaw, Stones, Walker as the CBs, Trippier or James as the...

Yeah, it's a real head scratcher what Southgate has against Dunk. Especially in light of his love of Mings, whose only quality appears to be he plays on the left side of central defense.

Presumably because the 12 that are coming back from the champions league/Europa league aren't ready to play. Plus we know that Southgate likes to keep players involved. I think he made sure that every player bar the third choice keeper made an appearance at the last world cup. Plus it'll be...

That's the key point. I don't think any of our defense are that good so if we can give them any help we should. Shaw's had a decent season. I agree in that I think Chilwell is better but I don't think he's so much better that it overrides the understanding that Maguire and Shaw will have...

:shrug: I'm not really sure what your point is?

Why would making his England debut be pointless?

My thinking is our defense is the weakest part of the team so it seemed sensible to give them as much help as possible - Shaw and Maguire play week in and week out at united and likewise Stones and Walker at man city and Stones and Mauire have played plenty of times together for England so at...

I wouldn't object to that team. To be fair I wouldn't object to pretty much any combination of our attacking players.

Southgate says the six players not selected will be involved in the two warm up games.
