He's a fine player but I just don't see this clamour for his signing. He's 27 this year and could be past his peak by 2026. He's also had games for West Ham where he was completely missing. While I have no doubt he could slot into our squad just fine, I don't really see him as a big upgrade on...

Headless chicken was probably harsh, sure. But he literally doesn't have a football brain and that's pretty clear to see.

No, no it doesn't. You're trying to play Football Manager in real life.

Or how about we just allow Foden to shine by playing him every week when fit, like all the best players in Europe do? To think either Foden or Wirtz would be content to rotate with each other is a bit mental. We don't need Wirtz at all, as good as he is.

We often look a better, more fluid side with Alvarez up front instead. That's just the truth. Haaland is obviously exceptional at what he's good at, but his overall game leaves a lot to be desired right now.

I thought he was really good, though should have at least hit the target with his chance. Sooner rather than later he will have to try and nail down one position. But right now considering what stage he's at, his versatility is a big benefit as it means he can and will start the odd game to...

Would it make you feel better if I lied and said that every aspect of his game was brilliant? He's got talent but he's also got no football brain. He reminds me of a young Raheem Sterling right now, only with much better dribbling ability.

Headless chicken more often than not. Has great feet and pace but little to no football intelligence, and that isn't really something you can teach. Needs to improve big time once this first season is out of the way, as decent as he was against an injury stricken Villa.

Cheers, mate!

Yeah, don't get me wrong. I would happily take him. He's been average this season but Bayern have flattered to deceive under Tuchel and edge a lot of games they didn't really deserve to win. Just wouldn't go out of the way to sign him at this stage of his career. Pep probably will though, seeing...

2016 Kimmich was considerably better than the 2024 one. Maybe he's just stale at Bayern, but he's been so average in the 7 or 8 games I've seen Bayern play this season. He's never stood out once.

Without Salah they looked terrible in the first half against Arsenal. But good teams find ways of winning games when they're not at their best and after that first half I fully expected Liverpool to at least get a draw out of the game. They're still desperate for a top quality holding player...

He will never score as many goals as people want him to. But what some people seem unable to grasp is that every time he starts, he attracts opposition players which helps create space for others to do the damage. He's not flashy for us like he was for Villa, but in many games he's worth his...

I've watched Bayern a lot this season and he's been bang average more often than not. Though Bayern are clearly playing well within themselves under Tuchel. Seeing as he's 29 soon his best years might already be behind him, or soon will be.

I think he's shown more than enough in certain games to show that he's going to be an excellent player in the coming years. I hate this daft term to begin with, but he's not some "generational talent" which often gets bounded about with some young players. But it's pretty clear that Guardiola...

He's 18 for crying out loud. He will have good games and he will have poor games. Bellingham had some poor games for Dortmund. It happens. Nobody has much of an idea yet of what his actual best position will be because he's still growing physically and is just at the very beginning of his...

Not a tough crowd. Just a bunch of spoilt, deluded simpletons.

Some utter mentalists on here. He's just started his career and some morons are already writing him off. When most of you were at the same age as he is now you probably still believed in Santa.

With Foden, Kane, Bellingham, Alexander-Arnold and Saka, Southgate will have to go some to not at least get England to the Euros final regardless of how average his is. Foden is everything anyone English wished an England player could be 20 years ago.

You're talking out of your arse. But still, happy new year!
