Final year.

Damn England really are flabby at the back

And I'm not fully convinced by any of the youngers as of yet either. Let's seem what Ben White can do in the PL this season.

All that quality up front

All that quality up front

And when we had the defence we had no wingers and back up strikers.

It's usually one or the other. 90's had the best blend. Keepers, defenders midfielders and OD on forwards

Yes it should.

He actually only cost £71m... but it's a bullshyt point regardless because of real life monetary and association transfer value inflation. It'd be like saying Pogba had to be even better than Ronaldo for United cause he cost £9m more than him, or that he had to be 50% better than Prime Zizou cause he cost 50% more back when Madrid bought him. "World record" transfer fees get broken literally every year; 80 million euros bought you a Suarez level world class player just ~5 years ago; now that shyt isn't even guaranteed to get you some unproven 19 year old from Borussia/Ajax.

I know y'all are just salty as hell Chelsea are quickly back to their tyrannical old ways from what initially looked to be a transfer ban induced half decade purgatory and are rooting for ol' cac Lamps to fail. Just be honest with yourselves and everyone else and say so out loud instead of this disingenuous juelzing.

this would be a good signing but what would be the point of Greizmann?

might as well sell him for 40 mill and get a high stamina midfielder

This English team would wash that 90s team lol

Maybe the Graham Taylor team. Besides the wingers (besides Barnes and Waddle) 90's had better keepers defence, Centre midfield and strikers. None of the present day defenders are better than Southgate.

Maybe on paper.. But they still haven't proven anything

that weak WC run doesn't count

 

[TobiOT]

Still don't know why we don't loan out more of these youth players.

 

[blues_funk_reggae]

Is it me or is this England lineup really short?
