Mbappe is the best option they have there and won the world cup. Already an established member of France team.
Haaland, well, you look at Norway's squad...

Sancho has senior players in front of him, he needs to move to a bigger team, and establish himself as a proper superstar.:devil:
England are stacked on both of the flank..

Doesn’t matter, the fact that he’s not starting means he’s probably not the best young player in the world apart from Mbappe and Haaland. There’s quite a few other players in the world who could realistically be considered as good as or better than him.
 
This has just been released

What on earth. Sancho is 21 he's not some old player, he's literally up there with the very best u23 players in the world only behind Haaland and Mbappe. That is insane.

He is an old 21 we should be looking for younger players at this stage.

Interesting argument and I can’t really imagine Madrid or Barca suddenly bidding £100m for Mount, for example. But team selection is not a foolproof guide to value in any case. In this case it is no guide at all because it’s tournament football where fitness, form and team balance are a juggling act for the coaches; probably more meaningful to reflect after all the games have been played.

Specifically, Grealish is no worse a player for not being selected today. For a start he’s still getting back to fitness. Foden started ahead of Sancho and he’s probably worth similar money but, again, it means very little. England are pretty stacked in these parts of the pitch.

The point is though, the guy was talking about Mbappe and Haaland. How long has Mbappe been starting for France? If Sancho and Grealish were genuine world class players, they’d be starting over their competitiors. What they are, is good players.

Sancho is expensive to buy because of what he promises in the future, not just because of his current play (which is obviously still good, but we’re not talking about the second coming of Garrincha here). Barcelona spent £120 million on Dembele, it didn’t mean that he was the best young player in the world.
 
There's some absolute weiners out there mocking up fake merch photos.

Absolutely ridiculous. :lol:
 
Think I gave him all the rope he needed

Yeah, fair points. Just saying that being selected or not (for one game or another) by Southgate doesn’t mean they aren’t both excellent and worth a pretty penny to any team who lacks players of their quality in their positions
 
So feck all actual news on this today then fellas? I've had a scan through the sunday-matchday-pissup-posts and can't find anything meaty :(

Was he definitely in attendance at the game?

He went deep sea diving according to that picture posted.

The same applies for Grealish as for Sancho. If you’re that good, you start for your national team. They’re both quality players, but Sancho is young and has to improve to become the player he promises to be, and Grealish was playing in the Championship not that long ago. People are getting carried away with the hype in both cases.

There's a good chance Toni Kroos doesn't start for Germany this summer and that it'd be the right call. Is he not world class?
 
The funniest part is expecting those shirts to not only be on sale, but for only 15 quid. Yeah right.
