City World Cup interest

[Outfox the Fox]

So we have 7 in Qatar:-

England - Maddison

Wales - Ward

Belgium - Tielemans, Castagne & Faes 

Ghana - Amartey

Senegal - Mendy

In true patriotic spirit, I guess that would have to be my top 5 for the competition, but, realistically, I'd be happy for a Belgium WC win (but only if all 3 City are involved)

 

PS It would be nice to see a Denmark team with Kasp also doing well, though that goodwill doesn't apply to Maguire, who I would like to see warming the bench for the whole Tournament. 

And Kramaric as Golden Boot, to rub it in to Rudkin?!

It was all going so well untill this..... 

 

But weird, also only this week he gave an interview saying his time here failed because he wasn't fit enough and takes responsibility. 

 

Unless you think rudders is cracking the whip and getting players fit at seagrave these days

Of these who are in the first XI for both Leicester and there country I'd say three maybe Amartey, Castagne and Tielemans.

[trabuch]

Sort of WC interest obliquely.  Portugal are playing a friendly v Nigeria and Wilf is playing. On sky Pl now.

[Sol thewall Bamba]

Still going on about Kramaric are we?

Because we were so awful, and didn’t achieve anything when he left…

Yes, but who would be a better Vards replacement now - Daka, Iheanacho ......or Kramaric?!

[The whole world smiles]

Any welshies on the board? What are Danny wards chances of starting?

It seemed more like a mentality issue than fitness, from what he was inferring.

“I have to be honest also, I learned so much at Leicester. It was a big experience for me to see something different. It was kind of my fault I was not 100 per cent fit at that time but I learned a lot."

 

Ummm okay

Definition of inferring: to deduce from something said. 
Hence my suggestion that it seemed more mentality than fitness based, but clearly that does not mean there isn’t a causal link between mentality and fitness.

I’d like to see Wales v Denmark in a penalty shootout.

So we keep a player just to see if he's a better replacement for Vardy 8 years later.

No, a (admittedly) 'firing' Kramaric 8 years ago, is the backup, or second, striker, to Vardy - and we don't have to splash cash on Daka, Nacho, Perez etc (though one of them might be necessary).

Yeah but 8 years ago the second striker, the same role, was Okazaki and he was great in that role. Him and Vardy had a great partneship.

Well seeing as Daka is A) a more direct replacement for Vardy in terms of playing style and B) has a better scoring record over the last season and a bit than Kramaric, I'm probably going to go with Daka.

Does Castagne start for Belgium then?

Kramaric didn't want to play back up which is why he left.

I'd be surprised if he didn't.

Seeing as Kramaric is 31, it certainly isn't him.

[Lambert09]

disgraceful demarai Gray hasn’t made the squad, did Southgate not see those 25 minutes at Leverkeusen?!?

Never understand why our fans are so obsessed with Maguire. Did the Fofana transfer not shine a light for how well he conducted himself during negotiations?

It must be decades of united hatred spilling through. Or an aversion to large foreheads.
