If he really did just sign a 25k a week contract, this is one of those moments that, I salute Levy and smh at his agent...

More than doubled his salary, hell get another new one after the euros i bet.
Just bumping up his fee for the summer.
But why risk him going Euros and turning up and you having a problem
Would have gave him 40 calm. Cos when your the club rejecting 25m bids for a man on 25k, you just look silly.
yeah if he keeps up his form he is leaving in 18 months
thats a fact
25k

The characters of both couldnt be more different.
Depends where we are in 18 months/2 years time i guess though.
You're spurs,
You'll be in the exact same position
We're in 4th though, aint that your position?

Yeah carroll is fine when we are control but as soon as we dont take the chances and the teams comeback hard at us he struggles.
Problem with Bentaleb is that hes a bit like a CM kyle walker Man can run a game easily in midfield keeping possession for fun then go and misplace a simple passback and we will concede, does it way too often. That one thing Carroll doesnt really do, only looses it when playing searching passes.

No England should be focusing on making more players like Barkley Alli, not copying Spain.
Our demographics to other European nations is different, we should be doing what France have done, taking advantage of the vast innately athletic kids of African descent we got running around playgrounds all across this country, but combining that with good coaching and a focus big focus on technical ability and some on tactical.
Thats what makes the Pogbas, Varanes, Kondogbias that we are seeing now, and the Viera Henry and Thurams of the past.
Players like Barkley and Alli are the way forward, not every player can be a 5'6 technical maestro, and nothing wrong with that anywhere, even in Spain athletic technical players can be a problem, let alone Italy and Germany.
Obviously you'll need some cerebral players the ilk of Xavi, Pjanic, Gundogan at the top level in some capacity if England can produce a couple of those, as well as the Raheem Sterling, Alli, Barkley of this world who rely on phiscial and technical attributes then they should be good.

you can have a squad of technical athletes but your most important player/s need to be highly cerebral if youre gonna win shit
thuram, henry and Vieira wouldn't have sniffed an international medal if it wasn't for zidane.
08-12 spain was a team of geniuses
14 Germany - mueller, oezil, basti, lahm
02 brasil - r9 wrote a thesis on playing centre forward

I think we should be producing more players who aren’t reliant on their physical attributes, that’s my point.
Whether a guy is 5’2 or 6’2 his athleticism shouldn’t be his main attribute, it should be his ability with the ball, what he can do with it.
Brazil always had a mixed demographic, always been physically gifted yet always maintained great technical and footballing intelligence within their players. If England can produce a couple of cerebral players? And how exactly are we supposed to do that when our system isn’t designed to nurture such players.
We don’t appreciate such players as a country, look at Carrick, look at Scholes even… we desire players that run around with heart, put in a good tackle, have a hard shot. Nobody is out there trying to produce version of those players.
English Xavi’s, Gundogan and Pjanic are about 20-30 years away if we're lucky.

Exactly and Barkley is 6'1 with great ability on the ball, so whats the problem, you expect him to be a bit more cerebral, i understand that he will become with age, but saying that he will never reach the intelligence level of a Muller and Xavi, but he doesn't need to, to still be a top player.
I don't get what you mean by we don't appreciate Scholes, people been raving about him since i was a kid, he was always pinpointed as Uniteds most dangerous player for me when i was growing up, and since then the lauding off him has gone over the top.
He was mismanaged by England managers, but so was Gerrard who was put out on the left numerous times.
You take some thing from Spain(really from Netherlands) but you don't copy them cause you realize your demographics are different, and you use that to your advantage the way France have.

Brazil are going away from their core and embracing more European style and thats culminated with their failure, England need to change some things, but that doesn't mean some things that football in this country can't stay, the physical, athleticism aspect of it, nothing wrong with it, as long as you can combine it with technical ability and some tactical nous, which the likes of Alli seem to have.

You can still massively excel on athletic and technical ability alone, at the same exact time being clever isn't that much of a big deal without the above too
The problem with England is they let to many strong and fast guys through like its Africa
Barkley's penny could drop when he plays with better players alone
