Does it matter? Southgate clearly doesn't fancy Dunk and appears to have no intention to include him in the team. It's not just the one person that has said White is England bound after all, is it. The only thing that might prejudice an England call up is Southgate's apparent preference for...
We don't have to offer him a choice; he's under contract. We didn't with Stephens. Apparently we are offering Murray a choice, but that is entirely different.
Yes, agree with that - and it's worth remembering, as the BBC commentator just pointed out, that the player he's having a ding-dong battle with is Arsenal's one-time record signing French international and former golden boot winner Alexandre Lacazette!

Presumably you'd already trawled - put the link in with your post and people won't need to ask. No apology for just politely posting 'link?' - it didn't warrant a grovelling 'please sir' request.
OK, have done (not very well informed speculation IMHO) but why so arsy about just putting up the link?
It does at least suggest that we can recall him in January (re: previous discussions on this thread); don't think we will though.
