Morgan seems to be doing a fair amount of press for England. Don't think there's much doubt he's going to get on the pitch.
-
England put up the manager and one or two players every day. He was just nominated (presumably as a new guy and someone who knows Lee Carsley better than most in the squad), so he did a press conf and a round of interviews in a couple of hours.
-
Sure but if he was just there for the experience and to see whether he fitted in, I don't think they'd have put him up for interviews.
-
I enjoyed him talking about how good a manager Carsley is. Vested interest much!
-
I don't think there's any doubt he's going to feature at some point - whether he'll make future squads when Foden/Bellingham etc are fit again is another question.
But it's not the first time someone new to the squad/a fringe player has been put up for the media (it may even have been the England pack of journalists requested him, given his knowledge of Carsley, which has been a feature of a number of the interviews). -
Makes sense all round.
Gibbs-White is a bright, positive, cheerful subject for interview. He's not very well known, but casual football fans will have seen more of him than Carsley.
Gibbs-White is a great ambassador for "the next generation". He won stuff at youth level. He sells in Carsley. Wins all round
-
The more I see Brennan Johnson play, the more I realise what a good piece of business it was selling him for as much as we did. He's obviously a super player, but he really needs to be used in quite a specific way - something Cooper did, and Ange has a bit, but Bellamy is really struggling to. A conventional winger Brennan is not.
-
There's a bit of the meatfly about him.
-
Yeah, I can see that. Meatfly didn't have Brennan's top speed and he was probably a slightly better crosser, but Brennan has never had a Nigel to cut the ball back to.
-
If it's right that we took took a flat 45 million, rather than relying on add ons and possibles then we did really well. He looks like he's peaked.
-
To be honest I'm surprised he's played for hotspurts as much as he has. He's a good player, quick, can create.....but at the highest level they generally look for more physicality in the modern game. We got a good price for him, no doubt in my mind. Definitely no criticism of that piece of business. Genuinely hope that he does better than I expect, and that contract is a good one.
-
He sliced it.
-
I see in the run up to a new england managers first game the debate that is dominating the narrative is that the manager wont be singing the national anthem.
What a fucking pathetic, weird, maladjusted, no mark, little country.
-
My sentiments exactly.
I’ve never been able to work out why this kind of thing bothers people so much.
I hope he sticks to his guns. -
The people don't care.
