Hopefully this signing kicks Neto out the team. Hoping Rogers up his game for us

You won't need to worry about Ekitike, he's out with a ruptured Achilles tendon.

That is my lineup prediction

I hope Isak has another piss poor season.. and ekitike fails too serves them right for stealing Ngumoha.. 250 mil down the drain.. fck u pool!!

Not worried about the fee .. they just sold Tielemens too .. I am sure we will see one of Jackson / delap / Garnacho go there - Elliot went back to pool too they have no attackers left.

Great signing .. we needed goals.. Cole and him for 25-30 goals.. 15-20 for Jao.. rest of the team for another 15-20 — that’s top 4 done. Seriously.. Barkley was a talent but couldn’t keep fit.. everyone knew drink water wasn’t it..

I suppose the question is who would replace him as a starter? Toney is also on the older side, and Watkins has not convinced for England. Or do England consider going with more of a false 9?

Can we convince Real Madrid to swap him for Enzo? ;)

We've got Pendo!

Your best finish since '66.

Pendo, Pendo give us a song!

In isolation it’s a crazy fee. But looking at the market now, it’s almost the premier league norm (Anderson, Tonali, Mateus Fernandes). By our own standards, I prefer this to 50M plus on Gittens, Neto, Mudryk, plus the countless others we can throw into that conversation. Premier league proven, good mentality, dynamic, physical player. Pretty sure a number are still to leave, so a smaller, focused, higher quality squad is good for me.

Are we even interested? Both Palestra and Rogers were done quick smart without anyone knowing. Perhaps the other players we are linked with are just media noise.

There is this, as well as now we have shown we had this sort of money so the concern is have we blown all we have on one player when we need 2 quality center back additions, a top class keeper and a new top partner for Caicedo?

I don't mind having Kane for another tournament, but not starting. Too often he is a passenger.

Imagine an Australian being more optimistic/right about this England team than all you sorry English. This game was a glorified friendly, a real American All-Star game vibe (not a compliment, for non-Americans). No defending to speak of. Mbappe laughing and joking with Tuchel in the tunnel at HT. Gusto starting. There are only two things that should be gleaned from this game; Kane's England days are finished, and Gusto's footballing days should be finished if he can't even perform in this televised open training session. Gabriel injured, Saliba injured, Hincapie injured, Rice knackered, Saka on the way to the knackery, Madueke starting. Arsenal won't make the CL next season.

We are truly blessed to have a player like Jude Bellingham. He is special. The type of player we only see once in our lifetime.

I think above all, there better be a plan. I don’t want to see Rogers hugging the touchline or he and Palmer get in the way of one another. Play to his strengths that also benefits everyone else.

I agree. I hate seeing players take their medal off, it's childish.

Entertaining. Can’t really take much from it though, when you take away the pressure from the game. Nonetheless, finally a competitive England game that was fun to watch, rather than nervy, frustrating or depressing.

I do like Rogers, but I also understand the concerns. If he was signed for £60-70m, I don't think people would be as worried, but £117m is a hell of a lot of money for one player. For that money, I want Palmer levels when he is at his best, and Rogers hasn't shown close to those levels yet.

As it should be. I hate seeing players rip off the runners up medal immediately and sulk around. I was always taught to be magnanimous in defeat. This is the best England have managed since 66 so they should be proud.

Jude with the goal of the tournament.

Anderson and Tonali have set the market. It is what it is.
