Fair enough. I'll keep KWP then for the period he is still here :).

That's why we have sugawara, Alcaraz and Aribo to supplement the best of the British talent (along with more to come of course.)

Really odd post. Where did I say I cared where our players came from?

Interestingly assuming we sign Fraser we could now put out a mostly half decent first 11 made up entirely of British players: Mccarthy Bree Edwards THB Taylor Downes Smallbone Armstrong Fraser Lallana Stewart

Quite like the away kit. Home kit is pretty low effort though.

The anticipation is palpable. I hope there's clapping.

I think I saw someone with a gammy eye

This event was marketed as smart casual. Looking at some of the attendees they are stretching that definition to breaking point.

Did they really need a three hour event?

Someone find the golden quote.

I find it bizarre that we have so many stellar players now who are technically very good and yet we have such a very basic style. I'm not saying we will be better than Spain but we should be playing a style that is a lot more entertaining and doesn't result in us having some of the lowest amount of chances in the entire competition.

Presumably you could find out by paying to get his info. Not that I would advocate doing so.

Chelski or Palace?

Yes we could play him on the wing or as a backup striker. My point is he probably isn't a guaranteed starter. Would be good to have an Armstrong alternative at any rate.

That would be the type of signing I could see us making as a backup striker.

@sadoldgitthere you go soggy. Lies once again.

Show me a post where I said you couldn't take the piss out of Trump? I actually said the exact opposite you weirdo.

For years England have been poor tactically, set up their teams badly and have had bad morale and the players look like they don't want to be there. Since Southgate has come in he has absolutely changed the last bit. Morale seems good with players wanting to play for him. For that he deserves a lot of credit. We are still poor tactically and set up the team badly so that hasn't changed. The new manager needs to continue with the morale and the sense of team that Gareth has fostered whilst also adding tactical knowhow and the x factor to make changes when things aren't working.

I'd take him on loan. Certainly not to buy though with what they were wanting for him.

Martin mentioned him last week abd said explicitly we've never been interested.

Said by who?

Was it the case that Martin didn't want Alcaraz or that he wasn't guaranteed a starting place and Juventus came in for him which was too good of an opportunity to turn down? I don't know but whatever it was he was undoubtedly a better option than the ones we bought in January.

Good news if true. He will be a good option and has the quality to succeed in the prem.

What evidence is there that we've seemingly missed our top 3 striker choices? Delap I'll give you but who else?

Come on. We are obviously going to sign a half decent AM and striker. We aren't getting backups for Stewart and Smallbone instead.
