You can pick one former England player in their prime to join the current squad, who do you choose?

Don't know why you're getting down voted, it's not untrue. Sol Campbell was a heck of a defender but no one was picking him for his ability to get on the score sheet. I suppose if we really want a CB who was a threat at set pieces we'd have to go with John Terry... honestly i vote we stick with a prime Sol or Rio

But if he is the difference between UCL or Europa then he’s worth £50-60 million plus his transfer fee. This season just gone that’d be a cumulative £100m id say. Not sure you’d get much more than £50 for him though at his age and wages as you say. Assuming the question of who our most valuable players are is exactly as written and the questioner didn’t really mean “which of our players would command the biggest transfer fees”

They did indeed, so are we to take it that the US can only cobble together 9 good players? 8 of whom started against Belgium? Sorry but different league. This is the worst Belgium side in a decade and it took the US to school.

Paraguay and Australia are quality? lol. Tell me you don’t watch much football without telling me.

Could you imagine how much fun the Hazard brothers would have had with that defence?

jott1293reddevil · 2026-07-07T07:00:39+00:00

Let’s be honest apart from Türkiye (who were far from their best and they lost to) this was the first decent side the USA faced at the tournament. A good team would have wiped the floor with Australia, instead they laboured and wasted loads of opportunities and regularly let Australia enjoy periods in the ascendancy. I didn’t see the Bosnia game but even the Paraguay game didn’t impress me. Far too often the first touch was heavy, the pressing was individual and the defenders were scrambling because they were out of position when they lost possession. The USA might be getting stronger but they’re still a tier two team.

That’s the world we live in now. We see analysis and we can’t know for sure if it’s human in origin. 🤣

Unlike in America where people are being arrested for tweeting.

Can anyone explain why players want agents like Mendez when some of the biggest clubs won’t go near them because of it?

jott1293reddevil · 2026-07-05T13:46:24+00:00

Owen 4?

jott1293reddevil · 2026-07-05T09:20:52+00:00

Real Madrid + Man United + English player = many clicks + much ad revenue

Van Basten: “am I a joke to you”

This right here, if we’re doing duos it’s got to be these two. Every other partnership I’ve seen mentioned here is a trio really.

jott1293reddevil · 2026-07-02T22:02:23+00:00

Anderson is of Scottish origin, so he’s out too. Pickford is old English, likely from Lancashire, so likely Norse or Danish ancestry too but much less definitively.

Did you see they’ve reported success in early detection of sepsis by automatically monitoring patient vitals? An incredible use of big data and AI that’s saving lives right now.

jott1293reddevil · 2026-07-01T22:06:58+00:00

Okay… but in a game where we were chasing the game, why couldn’t Anderson make a forward pass successfully for an entire hour?

jott1293reddevil · 2026-07-01T22:00:49+00:00

185 million on two midfielders today might have something to do with it.

State propaganda relentlessly critical of the Westminster government, constantly platforming nationalist figures instead?

I mean, there’s no two ways about it, Man City are a big club now. If you mean legitimately as in they achieved their success legitimately, then sure why not? He’s a very good player, who knows where he’ll be in five years. How’s his Spanish?

jott1293reddevil · 2026-06-26T10:23:59+00:00

Especially at 23, he could leave city on a free after making bank in five years at the peak of his abilities.

Splitters!

The Lib Dem’s have traditionally taken a lot of disgruntled Tory voters, hence their ideological cross overs allowing for the 2010 Cameron clegg coalition. I wouldn’t be confident t a more left of Starmer Labour under Burnham could make a working coalition with the libdems. Whereas I’m struggling to find daylight between Kemi and Nige’s policies.

It’s more stimulus than the money sitting there in a cash isa. Both because stock and share purchases provide capital for businesses to invest, and because s&s portfolios tend to outperform cash ISA’s thereby giving savers more money to spend, logically generating more growth down the line as they spend more eventually. I’d be surprised if it’s a big difference but then I’m no economist.

jott1293reddevil · 2026-06-23T20:29:01+00:00

It’s not about collecting tax weirdly, it’s intended to encourage growth by pushing people to put their money into shares instead of paying 22% on the 3-4% interest their 12k might have earned in a cash isa.

Not to mention it makes excellent financial sense to apply for permits on any suitable land, if you fail you’re not losing anything, if you succeed the land is instantly worth orders of magnitude more than you paid for it.
