He won't, as Southgate was in his ear about moving to a 'bigger' club to get more game time for England Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 Yep. Not a chance he misses out in the England squad. Actually it wouldn't surprise me if in a year or so he ends up keeping someone Ramsey out of it, purely because Southgate picks based on club not form. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s mad, even Conor Gallagher got a call up after less than 100 appearances (10 at PL level I think?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is the shins will get only worse as he gets older too. Except for our first season back up and his loan spell he usually misses about 10 league games a season 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This place would be in absolute uproar. People would be literally incandescent with rage. Read the Buendia thread for the first 6 months of his villa career... The Bailey one is probably heating up about now too And that's just from column a and a little from column c I think the only thing he has going for him at city is they have this weird belief of this almost mythical pep system taking even the best players in the world a year to fully understand and this year is a write off regardless, how do you get to that as a fanbase? £100m player will come good after a year of training, that's mad As for it being coke or even booze... Surely man city's due diligence would have told them that before they signed him, I don't see how he's getting that past villa, England and now man City doctors or that everyone is happily covering up for him, if he's drinking so much that his getting shin splints from it or will end his career prematurely because of it they'd have known before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delphinho123 Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 Does anyone else think that maybe the club were happy when the 100m bid landed? Or that we perhaps knew it wasn’t the end of the world at least? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you ever met any professional footballers? I used to live with a professional footballer for a few years and met many of them, I used to socialise with them... This is why I wouldn't be surprised if it was coke. Obviously they aren't all on drugs, many are decent family people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Buendia had gone to Arsenal and we’d not managed to attract Countinho they might feel different - but I think we landed on our feet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
