@sussexstokie I would suggest that Swansea have briefed their local press and inflated the figure, as Stoke would probably do with Pete Smith if we were selling Viktor etc. Hopefully the actual figure is a little lower, because £10m is excessive for a player on a free last season like you say.
@caribbeanpotter But how many more times are we going to have to break down a low block? Panama and then a RO32 game. The squad is built for teams that will come out which will allow us to have space and runners, which is the exact reason we haven’t taken and quite rightly, Foden & Palmer etc.
@caribbeanpotter Did you watch the interview with Bellingham and Rogers? Bellingham was honest about Euro 24 failures, he wasn’t just pushing what he’s been told to say.
@caribbeanpotter Name a successful major tournament side that has used all 23/26 players to good effect? It’s not how it works, Tuchel has created a core of 14/15 players with similar profiles, to create a consistent style of play, you can’t chuck names on for the sake of it.
@caribbeanpotter That’s exactly what Bellingham and Rogers said! Listen to the players, they might have more of a clue than some bloke sitting on a chair in Barbados 😂
@sussexstokie There is probably a middle ground in here somewhere though, if there’s no Viktor, Junior and Baker missing for a prolonged period of time? That’s not excusing the performances which are dreadful and a 3 year extension was unnecessary.
