@henrywinter Trent’s absence seems to be getting overplayed (not just by yourself, Henry!)
He’s easy on the eye but defensively fragile, potentially in a clique with Bellingham (another square peg in a round hole?), and his numbers have dipped in Madrid.

Putting this out here as a Scot... but isn't Harvey Barnes good enough for England?

Tuchel likes pace out wide - hence Foden firmly considered a 10, Grealish overlooked etc.

After Rashford it's only really Gordon for him at LW. And Barnes has been more potent than Gordon.

[Stuart Telford @StuartTelford]

Game of opinions and all that but more than two Frenchies are in for me. Foden/Griezmann mighty close to making it. Tchouameni's better than Rice.

Do you agree with Paul Merson? 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Having a bit of this for #MLSFantasy this year.
Eastern hemisphere and a two-year-old makes Switcheroo too complicated.

Real Madrid with Mbappe: European champions next season?

Alonso's Leverkusen have been a pleasure to watch this season.

Hard to see past Harry Kane as the best No.9 in the world at the moment. For @Bundesliga_EN 👇

It’s the fact they all play at once. Three STs across the front is like something from Champ Man 20 years ago.

[Robin Bairner @RBairner]

Rangers' problems are encapsulated by three of the forwards they signed:

Dessers, Lammers, Sima.

Spent more than €10m on them, scored 12 league goals between them and all played in relegated sides. Simply not good enough.

[Stuart Telford @StuartTelford]

Morelos, Kent, Tillman, Sakala, Colak - different reasons and stories but you can't lose your whole final third plus reserves in one window and expect to succeed.

[Stuart Telford @StuartTelford]

If Wolves end up signing Bellegarde they'll be getting a cracking player 👇

After investing in Strasbourg, which players are Chelsea most likely to sign? 🇫🇷

@rusty_gorelick I hope so. Turning down Saudi Arabia to join and he redefined a position. Exciting times anyway!

[Stuart Telford @StuartTelford]

@rusty_gorelick Busquets, according to the Athletic.

[Stuart Telford @StuartTelford]

@BayernForumCom @Transfersdotcom Worth another piece, indeed. This one more about the 'coups' the MLS have pulled off in light of Messi turning down silly money from Saudi Arabia.

[Stuart Telford @StuartTelford]

@swearimnotpaul @Transfersdotcom Pretty hard to leave out Drogba and Villa too 😬

Messi would lift any team but how many of these have you heard of?

[Football Transfers @Transfersdotcom]

Where would Lionel Messi fit in at Inter Miami? 🤔

Are PSG better with or without Lionel Messi?

Belter. Fofana belongs in the Champions League.
