Joe Cole showed Shearer how to do the pundit job properly last night on BT Sport. He had all the attributes you mention such as tactical knowledge and a genuine love of the game.
Yep and Mings is so obviously head and shoulders above everyone else in his purely defensive abilities. You have to be something special as a manager to identify and develop such a talent.
Can’t see it myself. Southgate has never heard of Webster and he already has Mings who he has identified as an international quality centre back…:wozza:
