Playing for Derby would be better for someone who played at the World Cup than playing in a top league abroad?

Yes, but that's just my opinion. I happen to really like the Championship and think that it is a great preparation for the Premier League. It certainly didn't do Maddison any harm did it?

The Premier League is a step up for Maddison. Loftus-Cheek is an England squad regular who has just played in a World Cup. He doesn't need preparing.

When I see some of the shit getting regular starts for some clubs in the Premier League, it’s a crime the RLC hasn’t been allowed out on loan, to be developed further and experience playing week in week out.

Yep - Reece Oxford is another sad example. Plays for West Ham, moves on loan to play at Gladbach and now West Ham are literally sitting on him (so to speak). No foreign club can muster the transfer fee. So he's just stuck playing Under 23s football. 

I doubt it very much.

Isn't Kane only 24-25? Shouldn't he be included, he's arguably the best of them all.

Absolutely. I was just trying to make the youngest viable squad possible. We'd never actually play that as we need more experienced players as well (and England favours 3atb) and Kane is first name on the teamsheet for sure.
