W-S-M Seagull Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 Wonder if we have any clauses about getting a payment upon making England debut? I'd rather he go than Maguire. Maguire has done nothing of late to be in the squad. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid in the Riot Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 Both Webster and Kelly were being scouted by England senior set-up whilst they were at City. Sure both will get their chance eventually. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carey 6 Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 35-55 man squads have to be named as a FIFA requirement before naming your actual squad for the tournament, the previous cap was 35 but was increased this time round. Southgate was ridiculed when all the original headlines came out about it but nations like Germany/Spain have done exactly the same - That's just two I've seen, wouldn't surprise me if every nation did the maximum amount. Can't see Webster making it, but I wonder if we have a small fee add on for X amount of England appearances. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh how we all see things so differently with football Fair enough for admitting that, but I thought quite the opposite. His partnership with Kalas was outstanding for us in 18/19 season and was the main reason we should have been in the playoffs come the end of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonBristolian Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 3 hours ago, phantom said: No Simple answer, not ready for this tour, it's another big step up playing International football from the premier league It’s an interesting one. He’s about 27 so he needs to be ready for that step up soon if he is ever going to take it. But he is obviously untested. I strongly doubt he will go but virtually all England’s first choice central defenders are unfit, out of form, out of the team or a combination of all three. But very few replacements have been tried. Webster won’t go, and I don’t think I think he should go, but I suspect I will rate some of those that do go far less than I rate Webster. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red-Robbo Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 If I were manager, I'd be looking at players that are performing well in relatively unresourced and unregarded clubs like Fulham, Brentford and Brighton this season, rather than the usual focus on the prima donnas of the Big Six. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, you are correct with one thing, it isn't the common view of the majority. A confident ball playing centre back who was never flustered. When he scored at Boro away there's a pretty iconic picture of him celebrating the goal and Flint looking bemused presumably because he lost him. A top player, who should be in the England set up. We were lucky to have had him even for one season. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hinsleburg Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 3 hours ago, Dolman_Stand said: Tomori From what I've heard and seen he's having a poor season, as another poster mentioned the most in form England defender this year has been Chris Smalling! If they're all fit I'd be looking at starting Stones - Dier - Smalling in a back 3. There's enough pace, aerial threat and ball playing ability there and all three have shown massive defensive improvements in recent years. All have comeback from tough places and slaughtering in the media so will be plenty of mental experience there too which is massive in tournament football. (Not that I think we'll do anything). Would have White and Maguire as back up options based on current form and with Maguire I think it's a useful player to have around! (Sure I'm missing somebody else obvious though...) Sure we'll end up with Coady - Maguire - Mings though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
