filbertway Posted 9 June 2017 Posted 9 June 2017 Great to see one of our younger teams doing well. Not sure how much it has to do with the incoming euro u21s but if we can do well in that as well, it looks positive for us. That's assuming these young players are given opportunity to develop in the Prem rather than bringing in average foreign talent to keep them out.

I'll jump in with the comparison to the Germany team that featured Ozil, Muller et al before anyone else. It would be great if we could phase in a large proportion of the team in the same way they have, but the biggest obstacle will be these lads getting first team football in the top flight week in, week out, which Bundesliga teams are far better at than us.

This is why its absolutely key for english players to go abroad and play in top divisions in turkey, italy, france, spain,germany, holland etc where they might be afforded an opportunity to play at a level higher than the championship etc. Players have got to look out for themselves and feel comfortable going abroad. If you cant get the opportunity (for whatever reasons) here it only makes sense.

sk3since03 Posted 13 June 2017 Posted 13 June 2017 Griezmann signed a new deal at Athletico! Glad he'a stayed there, good on him

Glad he'a stayed there, good on him There was nowhere else to go, with the transfer embargo and whatnot. Besides, he already had a contract until 2021, it's merely been expanded by another year. Figure that one out.

MC Prussian Posted 13 June 2017 Posted 13 June 2017 23 minutes ago, Finnegan said: They can sell they just can't buy. Well, yeah. I just find it rather unusual for him to extend his already existing contract until 2021 by another year this early. The embargo will unlikely last that long. And Atlético don't have to sell, unless the player's unhappy and starts boycotting the club.

Besides, unless he goes to Bayern, Barça or (rather unlikely but) Real I'm not sure many clubs are really "up" from Atleti. New stadium, Simeone staying, he was probably never that desperate to leave. Probably just after a bigger contract. No idea what his new release fee is but it's possibly still within the reach of the biggest clubs.
TheUltimateWinner Posted 13 June 2017 Posted 13 June 2017 One of the most well respected set of national anthems I've heard...
MC Prussian Posted 13 June 2017 Posted 13 June 2017 Did Alli just dive there, forcing the referee to send off a French player? The twat!
TheUltimateWinner Posted 13 June 2017 Posted 13 June 2017 Eh there was contact I suppose, red seems harsh as I think its accidental
Redouane Posted 13 June 2017 Posted 13 June 2017 Just started watching. How's the video ref working out?
foxes_rule1978 Posted 13 June 2017 Posted 13 June 2017 France rightly down to ten, you can't come across the back of a player like that, it was clumsy and deserved
leicsmac Posted 13 June 2017 Posted 13 June 2017 There was contact that impeded Alli's progress and brought him down. By the letter of the law the ref has to tell him to go there. Think the vid ref worked fine and quickly for that one.
