Been linked with him but marca says deal in place for gundogan so they won't be after him and they haven't been linked with kondogbia for a while

Oh ok, if they actually do get Gundogan I doub't they're after Kondogbia - as they've already got Khedira, Xavi and Carlos Casemiro (a player that I hope Spurs had signed as he was fairly cheap).
Kondogbia can play LB,CB, DMF; so his versatility can come in handy.
Sandro, Paulinho, Dembele, Kondogbia, Holtby, Siggi, Dempsey, Carroll (would send him out on a season-long loan) - that's CM squad that could compete in the top of the EPL.

He has been one of the three guys that madrid want for the CM but unlikely if Sahin goes back and they get gundogan. I agree with you though but I think the signing of Paulinho would make him unlikely. Strange hardly anyone has made a move considering they are having a fire sale atm

City & Chelsea have made inquiries for him

Well worked Spain goal vs France.

The Spain goalkeeper is very small.

First time seeing Digne play, sign him up.

Amazing. We are embarrassingly bad.

I actually think the U20's were a bit unlucky. They were the better side against Egypt IMO and some of their approach play was good, passing the ball quite well. It was the final third where England lacked a bit. Pritchard looked good when he came on, and Ross Barclay is a real talent (and strong). Kane really wasted several situations and the ManU lad wasted a couple too. There were several occasions when England were in great positions and failed to make the right choice with the crucial ball.

The movement off the ball was a little lacking at times. But I thought this was made worse by Taylor's second half subs. Ward-Prowse wasn't setting the world alight but he was continually pressing, moving, giving and going and doing a good job of helping us retain the ball. I think Cole was also better than the lad that came on in his stead (Reach I think). England lost their grip on the ball after these subs.

The last U20 world cup I watched England were much worse. Totally shit. Only Sturridge and Adam Smith looked to play any football.
