New rule was 2023, JJ new contact was 2022.

Woakes could have done the same if he was fit enough to bat, England have deemed him not fit enough.

Have to remember England are a batman down, so that counts against them. I'd say it's getting a pretty tough target now, but batting has got easier with each inns.

Because every club breaks the rules, everyone knows it, no one is rarely bothered.

To be honest if India win this and draw the series, its a fair result.

Hopefully a loan that's see him play plenty of minutes.

Forgot about him. Played a massive part in our downfall. A side with Maddison, Barnes, Vardy and Tielemans, doesn't get relegated with a decent pair of CBs.

I’d sell for 6m, only around 700k left on his amortisation, so virtually pure profit. Bring in a young upcoming fullback on half the wages. personally think he’s been poor for the last 3 season, wasn’t even that great in our last championship season.

If the is a sniff of a chance of him going to United it’s unlikely he’s going to rush the West Ham deal.

The real issue is we have continually brought CBs that don't compliment each other or the system/style of play, which just highlighted their weakness even more. Since Fofana our CB recruitment has been dreadful, Vestergaard, Souttar, Coady and Okoli for the combined total of around 45m.

People need to stop trying to convince themselves that Stolarcryk is as good a keeper as Hermansen, he's not. Is it the right thing to sell Hermansen and give Stolarcryk a chance 100%.

Not convinced after the Koln game, seemed to have a lot of positional issues, needs to develop a lot.

What a selection Dawson has been

England bowling has been bang average all series

I would play my Gran over Soumare and she has been dead 25 years

No Hermansen, Mavididi or Winks who would all be in my strongest 11 last season.

Some decent news!

Coady and Hermansen are virtual done.

If we want him he will out of the clubs involved

If they have made a formal bid 100% they have already discussed personal terms. It's against the rules so no one is going to say it, but it happens all the time.

There is a reason Hermansen is about to be sold for around 20m and Stolarczyk isn't. Stolarczyk isn't on Hermansen level, at 24 and 25 years old respectively one has a wealth of experience the other has the odd patch games here and there. Jakub could get to Mads level but he's someway behind him at the moment.

Good shout with a decent loan fee.

You better not be like mining @Ric Flair. This could be my favourite post of the summer.........

Another average display from a England bowling attack!

Do we need another older player?
