I wouldn't say so. Dele Alli is all out attack, borderline second striker. VDB is more of a proper midfielder.

I imagine it won't impact on him at all given that one has nothing to do with the other.

I get the sense that she's not going to pursue legal action.

You have to suspect this has been common knowledge behind the scenes for a while. Southgate has been refusing to call him up since 2020.

Kinda surprised anyone would pick Sule. The guy can't run and Christensen has been top class for a season or two now.

The system just makes no sense with this personnel. The only way you ever end up with creativity in the hole is if Fernandes or Sancho move there and unbalance the rest of the team, and give themselves loads of running to do. Instead you end up with McTominay in there, who can strike a ball, but...

He must be on stupid money to agree to that.

I don't think he progressed his game any where near as much as people thought he did in Italy.

The trouble for the USA is that they're developing a more modern profile of player and changing their style accordingly, which is great for dealing with weaker teams but makes them much easier to deal with for the bigger boys. I also think this new crop might be a bit of a false dawn, because...

He put it on a plate for Cavani two or three times but he couldn't finish.

The Boxing Day games are always mental because everyone knows a bad performance will be forgiven, so teams just go for it.

Rashford is poor when the game is not in front of him. His touches with his back to the press are erratic at the best of times. It's probably why he could never make it as a #9.

United's 4-2-2-2 getting exposed by relegation fodder.

Do Lewandowski's performances against the best teams really set him apart from the other top #9's in the world?

One training session with a proper coach and immediately they know how to find one another on the pitch.

Dest is not even remotely close to being an upgrade on Walker. The only argument I can see for signing him is that Walker is 31 and they might want to plan ahead. Even so, I think they can do better than Dest.

Would City really want Dest?

Bowen is no where near Barca quality, and Rice isn't really a Barca type player... on the other hand he would give that midfield the massive injections of athleticism that it's lacking. Fornals I think would end up like Coutinho at Barca.

No end product? He's literally the second highest goalscorer in City's history, and the fourth highest assist-giver.

Mate you're living in a fantasy world.
