Selfishly from a United perspective, I want him to make it but I don't think he deserves it in an area where we are stacked.
We aren’t stacked at all at LW. It’s either play Foden out of position or play Gordon, who isn’t at the same level.Selfishly from a United perspective, I want him to make it but I don't think he deserves it in an area where we are stacked.
Foden and Gordon both play left, both way ahead of Rashford.We aren’t stacked at all at LW. It’s either play Foden out of position or play Gordon, who isn’t at the same level.
I’d prefer him not to go. I think a summer off will do him a lot of good and should also fire him up for next season. I suspect Southgate will want to take him though, as he is a great option to have and can produce a moment of magic in a close match.
would rather him go, have a good tournament and us be able to sell for 60-70 million. there’s a risk he’ll go and be shit though.What will be more beneficial to us?
- Him going to the Euros and performing well which will likely increase his value if are planning on selling him.
or
- Him not going and using it as a motivation if he is staying with us next season.
It sucks for England that the four best English players this season play in the same two positions - Kane and Watkins / Bellingham and Foden.I wouldn't take him. His form has just been too bad.
Pickford, Ramsdale, Pope
Walker, Trippier, Stones, Maguire, Guehi, Dier, Chilwell
Rice, Bellingham, Alexander-Arnold, Gallagher, Mainoo, Maddison, Eze, Ward-Prowse
Kane, Saka, Foden, Palmer, Watkins, Toney, Gordon

Eze, Watkins, Foden and Gordon can. All have had better seasons.https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cqee4l6pvngo.amp
Watkins also has played left I believe.
Watkins has had a great season, but I am not sure he is an elite player. Absolutely agree about Foden and Bellingham (or Foden and Saka, even). Actually suspect playing Foden on the left won't really work. Maybe Bellingham should drop into a deeper role with Foden at 10 and Gordon/Palmer/Eze on the left. Or maybe even Saka should switch sides.It sucks for England that the four best English players this season play in the same two positions - Kane and Watkins / Bellingham and Foden.
I'd agree after the season just gone - and throw Palmer in there tooNo. Gordon is ahead of him for a starting place and then in the squad you can have Foden, Watkins, Bowen ( I think they're certainties for the squad) who could all play there if needed. I'd even take Eze ahead of him to play there.
I think he's as good a backup as you can have really and can cover the ST and LW options.Watkins has had a great season, but I am not sure he is an elite player.

That isn't how Southgate tends to work though. He's barely used Gordon over the last 2 years, so I don't think he'll go.No. Gordon is ahead of him for a starting place and then in the squad you can have Foden, Watkins, Bowen ( I think they're certainties for the squad) who could all play there if needed.

He played in the last international break and performed well, he'll definitely be in the squad.That isn't how Southgate tends to work though. He's barely used Gordon over the last 2 years, so I don't think he'll go.
Probably going? If he has a good euros maybe people will forget how bad he’s been this season.Which option makes it more likely he will trying to find a new club this summer?
I would have thought if he goes and does well it would be another 'next season is my season' situation.Probably going? If he has a good euros maybe people will forget how bad he’s been this season.
