wilko154 Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Great news, the first time in a long time where a new player has been called up to the England squad. Normally we develop a player, they get called up and the following Summer they leave the club. No danger of that here. I look forward to seeing fans of other clubs who laughed at us for paying £20 million appreciate just how good he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 cue a lot of social media response that he's not good enough been excellent for us and made a very very solid start to the PL, the goals we've conceded is irrelevant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 (edited) If he were to ever leave us we would get 70-90 mill for him Edited August 29, 2019 by villalad21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilko154 Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Am I right in saying there was a clause in the deal for first England call up? If so I guess we now have to pay Bournemouth some more money. Not that it's a problem with NSWE. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 If he plays, how far are we behind spurs for capped players? I want that record back. Add on Heston and Jack and we must be close Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mjvilla Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Fantastic news. Massive boost for him. Couldn't be more pleased. Thoroughly deserved. Proving to be an absolute bargain at £20 mill or whatever. And people were saying we over paid?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farlz Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Absolutely chuffed for him and so deserved. The £20m we paid was an absolute bargain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has a £ 5 million clause based fee from most reports, so why would a £ 22 million injection have anything to do with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted August 29, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted August 29, 2019 Deserved for him. Selfishly, I'd rather he didn't pay for England though. He's obviously an injury risk and more games is only increasing the likelihood he misses games for us. But he certainly deserves the call up and it's testament to him he's got it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really happy for him, but also wary because of the injury record that may or may not be a thing any more. Would have been less spooked if he got a full Prem season under his belt without any real injury layoffs, but regardless, he really deserves it, top man, top player.

BOF Posted August 29, 2019 Moderator Share Posted August 29, 2019 He must be having the time of his life. What a turn his career has taken in the last year since joining us. Threw himself into it 100% and is now deservedly reaping the rewards. Couldn't be happier for the bloke and not sure how he can possibly stop grinning like a Cheshire cat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
