Avfc96 Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 The squad I would like to see for the Euro's is: Pickford, Ramsdale, Johnstone Walker, Alexander Arnold, Chilwell, Colwill, Konsa, Branthwaite, Stones Rice, Mainoo, Ward-Prowse, Loftus-Cheek, Maddison, Bellingham Bowen, Saka, Foden, Watkins, Kane, Solanke And then one of the likes of Palmer, Trippier, Tomori, Grealish, Elliott, Dunk to make it up to 23. But can't wait to see Maguire, Henderson and Rashford start the first game despite being utter s***e throughout the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calcifer Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Watkins won't be going to the euros if he has to choose between Watkins or Toney... 100% he will take Toney, Cocknose has a right chub on for him https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/england-squad-ivan-toney-ollie-watkins-southgate-b1145345.html Gareth Southgate remains unsure if there will be space to include Ivan Toney and Ollie Watkins in his Euro 2024 squad. Both have been called up alongside captain Harry Kane in a 25-man squad for friendlies this month against Brazil and Belgium, but Southgate can name only 23 men in his squad for the summer tournament. Asked whether there would be space for both this summer, Southgate said: “Maybe, maybe not. I genuinely don’t know the answer to that. “That will depend on what kind of profile we need, what the profiles of the rest of the squad [members] are, whether we need a couple of players that are adaptable in a couple of positions that means we can pick specialists in certain other positions.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davkaus Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Nobody really knows. If I'm not mistaken, White doesn't really like football, he never watches any, so I'd not be surprised if he just wants to enjoy his time off instead of going to play more football without being paid for it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sort of mentioned a page back, White left the World Cup early due to an alleged fight with management and not sure has been called up since. Southgate denies is any reason to do it As said he doesnt really like football so cant imagine international football is a bother for him.

I’d have thought in general circumstances the player would have had a conversation with the England manager about this. Is Gareth being a bit mischievous stating that Ben didn’t speak to him directly about it? It does suggest some kind of fallout between the player and the national team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not allowed, has to be 3, I'm pretty sure squads used to be 22 players, it was then increased to 23 but had to be 3 keepers 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's only happened in like the last 3 or 4 tournaments or something, it's a relatively new thing Like you say it's considered a specialist position so you get 3 of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HanoiVillan Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Probably not one for this thread, but I always find it fascinating when a guy gets to a really elite level and has no identifiable interest in the sport at all. Have no idea how you manage to get this far really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DakotaVilla Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 It’s unfair to say White has no interest in football. He seems interested enough when playing for Arsenal. He has no interest in playing a squad filler role for the PE teacher in a ridiculously defensive set up and to be honest I don’t blame him. You can’t shit house your way to win a tournament 1-0 off a corner or a bit of luck these days anymore. And to try and do that with the amount of attacking talent we have is a sporting crime. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah my mate who was ex west brom now doesn't play Sunday league or 5 aside or anything, says the job element of it killed it for him I dont blame white, what he should say is he's more focused on arsenal which is fair, he's resting at home for them rather than sat on the bench watching maguire for England The weird thing is how it's generally accepted that fans put their club first, people hate international breaks, hate maguire, hate Southgate, some outright hate England but when white calls it our there's outrage? I'm 100% with him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
