    They are such different players but they both have high level attributes in fairly unusual areas for centre halves. Murillo obviously his passing and dribbling ability. Jair Cunha is very tall even for a centre half and very fast with it, it's not unusual to have a very tall or very fast centre half but the combo of both is quite unusual.

    Too early to wonder whether Delap might be in the next england squad? Watkins probably hasn't excluded himself (though he should have) but, as his dad played for ireland, and with so few qualified strikers available, the fa might be pushing to get him committed.

    I feel sure that would have been a significant part of the Forest pitch in his signing talks.

    Given the shortage in that area, I'd definitely be pushing to to get him involved if I was in the FA.

    Don't think the german manager would want to play him though.

    Sels retires from international football. No surprise that he can't see the point in treking around Europe to sit on the bench for the next few years.

    Quite. He'll be doing that in the UCL next season anyway.

    What?

    Guess I'll start the ball rolling this time - MGW isn't in the England squad.

    We all love the guy, but come the summer I won't begrudge him a move, to try and win some silverware and get himself into the Euro 2028 squad/team. Preferably abroad though. Not Spurs FFS.

    Top scoring midfielder in the 5 major European leagues this year you say.

    German cunt says not the sort of thing I'm looking for.

    Can I say something controversial? All of the people he could get picked ahead of - Palmer, Eze, Rogers, Bellingham are also pretty good at football. I'd take Gibbs-White ahead of Eze but it's not like he's picking Rudoni or Maddison ahead of him.

    If Gibbs-White wore the shirt of a 'big six' club every week, we wouldn't be having any kind of debate because there would be mass uproar if he continued to miss out on England squads.

    It's baffling and really rather shit. Jim's right that he's got to move on this season for the sake of his international career. Tuchel is indeed a cunt for making that a necessary factor in any decision to leave.

    Even the Arsenal fans can't understand why Eze is there ahead of Morgan. Tuchel is a shit cunt of a manager and I can't believe there are people still defending him.

    There's room for him amongst those. It's not 1 of 10. Without even giving it much thought the WC squad had for example Madueke, Henderson and Mainoo in it - he should have been ahead of all those.
