The fucking state of this talentless sad sack living off his dad’s fame. Stupid ****

Why post the link it's helping the rag c-nt

 

[waspish]

So scruffy Jim is in debt to the hmrc at the rags . This must have come as a shock as he has avoided paying it with all his other ventures and he states he’s looking to bring through the next Mbappe rather than spending money. This is going to be a real giggle watching this unfold

More to do the glazers been hiding it till Ratcliffe bought a stake in them!

Glazers been cheating for since the banks acquired the club! Now there is an investigation that premier clubs should all sign to look into the accounts of the real dirty rotten cheating kunts

Or because Southgate doesn’t have the courage to play Foden next to Bellingham. Bit then again Southgate has gone on record saying he didn’t play Phil centrally so that’s why he didn’t play him there. He does now but he doesn’t play left wing for us!

Eh, Pep has said himself he didn't have the courage to play Silva and KDB together until Belgium tried having two 10's next to each other and proved it worked.

Bravery isan overrated managerial characteristic.

4231 has won every World Cup since 2002.

Jude Mbappe Smith & Kylian Bellingham Jones it is then!

they havent even be conceived by salford finest yet

Pep has recently said the only issue with KDB and Foden playing is because of Haaland. Haaland is out and out forward. Kane drops back… do you not think they should play Bellingham and Foden centrally?

Nope. Why would I want Kane Bellingham and Foden all competing for the same space?

Fair enough. Shifting Foden out to the left (where he doesn’t play for his club), is poor. Who would you have in the middle with Bellingham and Rice?

Rico if he plays, Mainoo if he doesn't.

Kane
Foden Bellingham Saka
Rice Rico/Mainoo
Chilwell/Trippier Maguire Stones Walker

Ok none of this "will have bollocks" lets just look at which of them is a full time professional football and which one is spending his entire season on the bench.

Minutes in 2024.

Rico Lewis 283
Kobbie Mainoo 926.

Starts in 2024

Rico Lewis 3
Kobbie Mainoo 11


Anyone who thinks any player deserves a call up when they go over a month between starting games is completely delusional. The hypocrisy is galling because we all know you'd be the first person screaming abuse at the England manager for picking any non-City player who'd managed 3 starts this year.


I wish Rico were playing. Southgate clearly loves him because he called him up even earlier than he called up Mainoo. But you don't get picked if you go weeks without getting on a football pitch and that's whre Rico is.

I just cottoned on, based on this year alone fair enough. No buts.

It's annoying because if he just got a game every other week, Rico would be there instead.

 

[vincent]

Rico if he plays, Mainoo if he doesn't.

Kane
Foden Bellingham Saka
Rice Rico/Mainoo
Chilwell/Trippier Maguire Stones Walker

Rico won’t make the squad. Mainoo good young player. Looked lost at our place a few weeks ago. Not for me.and I wouldn’t have Maguire any where near the starting 11.

‘What a personal disarster…’

Underated reference there.

 

[Cumbie Blue]

This tax thing has to be image rights and offshore payments to Ltd's coming home to roost at last. Pogba and Ronaldo maybe plus their super agents slice. Be interesting to see what the bill will be and any contractual ramifications with sponsors if found guilty.

 

[Blue Mist]

Has Mainoo pulled out of the England squad yet through injury ?


Just askin'

 

[deano ou812]

The lad maybe talented and looks a decent prospect but throwing him straight into the full England squad stinks of who he plays for and probably the clamber from sections of the media for him to be picked,will they ever learn another reason why England won’t get a sniff of winning the euros ..

 

[Betterdeedthan red]

Mainoo looks a quality prospect but I’ll hang fire before declaring him good enough for England,
We often see young players who are an unknown quantity do really well when they burst on the scene but quickly find their level once the opposition teams catch up.
As it stands he’s looking good but he needs to continue in the same vein throughout next season before he’s lauded as the best thing since sliced bread in my eyes.

He looks good.
But he's only in the England squad cos he's plays for the shit.
Or Southgate is sucking up to his new employers

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

Scruffy twat has made waistcoat number one target. That is just absolute gold.

 

[Protein Junkie]

12 seconds...

Me and Kate Beckinsale - it was bliss though.

 

[StillBluessinceHydeRoad]

Mainoo, plays for utd. So he deserves to play for England. Fuck Lewis, his experience and talent... you have to play for utd or lfc to get raved about.

God I hate the utd loving media in this country

Oh dear Phil, better hope he gets the rag job - or your international career is over.

 

[StillBluessinceHydeRoad]

I'm sure it will only be a minor unpaid large tax bill.

... a mere technical breach of 116 tax laws.
