Hart

Dier Jones Greening

Walker Drinkwater Winks (one day!) Rose

Barkley / Wellbeck / Sterling Dele

Kane

Are you drunk? :D

12 players and who the hell is Greening and Phil Jones, come on really?

Where's Stones, Lallana or Henderson, Smalling...you could even give Michael Keane a shout from Burnley...Dafuq?! :confused:

Also Dier is better as a midfielder, I wouldn't trust him in defence just yet especially without experience next to him..

Shit meant Cahill not Greening as he plays on left of Chelseas back three. Where the fuck did Greening come from lol!

Picked Jones as has shown decent potential in past but our centre backs are much or a muchness in the meh stakes at moment tbh.

Forgot about Stones (I did say was a bit meh about England lately!) but I didn't pick 12 I picked 11 - it's meant to show Sterling / Barkley or Sterling as a choice for same position.

Not too keen on Henderson, Lallana could be another option but again doesn't blow me away.

Although Greening (shit as he is) has been playing a lot for England lately hasn't he?

I don't think the person you're thinking of even exists?

Lol ffs I meant Smalling ha ha! :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

Where the fuck did I get Greening from, I think I used a lot of my brain waves on solving a puzzle in zelda last night so winging it today.

Charlie Adam just said on the radio he's the best player he's played against this season. Said you don't realise just how good he is until you have to try and mark him.

He also said he didn't think he was dirty, just that he could look after himself. Not sure how to view that considering the source.

Shit, he's gonna try to break Dele's leg next time.

Just reading some shit about Bale 'begging' Madrid to buy Alli. Made me think, would anyone here take £50m plus Isco for him. Just out of interest. I hope he stays for a long long time personally. But I reeeeeally like Isco.

Nope

Selling our key players sends out the wrong message no matter the price.

Interesting..... £50m plus a £25/£30m player in return is a good deal though. I wouldn't like to see Alli leave but Isco is an absolute star so whereas in the past we'd replace our superstar (Berb) with a fuckjocky (Frazier Campbell) this time it would be replacing a superstar in the making with a proven star who's pretty much already the real deal. Ideally we'd keep Alli and buy Isco anyway!

I think if it came down to it, I'd rather keep Alli for the potential he has and what he's show with us already, but it's not as cut and dry as 'never in a million years', not for me anyway.

Yeah we'd have to incorporate Isco in the team, we'd have to change tactics and style of play just to fit him in especially when we know that Kane and Alli have it in them to forge one of the greatest striker partnerships in the world if they carry on as they are. We're taking away a huge source of goals just to accommodate a player who would be a gamble however small...I just don't see the point really.

Dele is worth far more than that. Even if we got Isco in return, would Isco even come to us? He's being linked with City now, he will get mega bucks from them.

While I'm on the topic of Dele. Why is it, none of the commentators have respected his decision to drop the name "Alli" I've noticed that pretty much only Jermaine Jenas calls him Dele. The guy has said the name Alli means nothing to him, and he doesn't want it on his back.

I think we should all respect that.

Dele will be a commercial goldmine if he continues at the rate he is. He is already a huge icon to young kids from all supporting backgrounds, and they are all trying to emulate him in training and in playgrounds etc. Isco, as good as he is, will never be that.

Of our last 24 league goals, 21 of them have been scored by Kane/Dele! Son has 2, and there was an own goal. That covers our last 10 games back to the Southampton game. Amazing how important that partnership has become for us, I doubt there's many in Europe that can match that level of scoring in 2017.

We are going to be very lucky to hang on to him in the future. He's going to be a massive player. Hopefully the club continues on its trajectory.

Yeah we should enjoy him whilst we have him :D

He's destined for Real Madrid, he fits their profile.
