I agree with this. Hate playing Italy

I think we’ll win if we get to the semis. Being at Wembley is a massive advantage the crunch (if we win the group) is that we play France in the quarters - if they win their group obviously.

We’ve been in the semis of the last 2 tournaments ( say what you went about the nations league but we still had to beat Spain. To get there)

Are Rakitic and manzukic in the squad, they’ll progress, becuase they’re better than Scotland and Czech Republic

Croatia are similar I feel. I don’t think they’re a bad side but we should be beating Switzerland and Croatia all the time. In terms of watching the city it’s like drawing Ipswich in the cup. We should beat them but expect us to make a fist of it

Valid point. Switzerland are one of those teams who seem to qualify all the time, cause problems. But you’d expect England to beat them. all round, I see them as a solid squad. Croatia are the same but have Modric, who isn’t the player he was 3 years ago.

Disagree. They all have 1 world class player and a load of average players around them. always have a solid side, but I never see anything to think they’re a top side.

Don’t get me wrong, Modric was world class. But he’s getting on now. I always consider them in the same group as Switzerland and Poland, that group just behind us. Yeah they’re a tricky side but England should be beating them.

Anybody else think Croatia are crap? Still annoys me to this day they beat us in the World Cup

Wouldn’t be that worrying, I’d imagine we plan 2 windows in advance. I’m sure Badlan said that . They’ll have plenty of targets in mind

I really liked Luke Thomas, caused problems. Unfortunately finishing was woeful, could have had 10-15 goals that season

I’ve always wondered how you get that? Do you just run the iplayer app on your tv

On the flip side there’s been no comment on us not taking up the obligation. The deal was loan, and will be purchased upon meeting the criteria. Like a contract extension. It’s been triggered and he’s now permanently a part of our squad

See that score goals from set pieces is a potential rather than will. His aiming was atrocious last season. Should have had far more goals Other than that I agree with all of this

Top 5 - Huckerby, Keane, Dublin, Hadji, Boateng, Just missing out - Whelan, McAllister, Westwood, Kirkland, Froggatt

I’d go along with this. We looked at him as a possible permanent when we signed him. he’ll have known what we could offer before the end of the season, and Robins would be aware whether we have a chance or not

Still not fussed. We may have offered a contract to Collins but you don’t know the terms, we’d be offering a fair few out I’m sure there’s many more irons in the fire. Only start to worry if we hit pre-season friendlies without a signing

The good news is the ESL is dead without the English teams. they’re the money teams hence why the premier league is worth billions. The others have screwed their leagues over that much there’s little appetite for therest of the leagues overseas

Probably one of those where we were making him 3rd choice and Ipswich made him first choice

Not in terms of affordability but value for money. I think we can spend bigger than what is let on but it has to be one that Robins seems worth it
