I remember Rants saying that Brent can't move around safely in Manchester
BTW, has Rants said anything about Andrew Tate's arrest yet?

Wijnaldum was in Saudi for 2 years and was called up
I respect it. Can’t expect to be called up for your national team when the majority of your weekly competition are part time Imams. Unless you’re that good or a legacy player for your country

I think he would fit Chelsea or even liverpool
I really don't think he fits in England.
Let’s not act like tournament football isn’t 7-8 games max at one go.
Kante and Laporte were some of the best players at the last Euros. Just because you go to Saudi today doesn’t mean everything you’ve learned as a footballer prior is a wash…
Kante and Laporte have a track record of success at the highest level though. Bergwijn hasn’t had the necessary career to guarantee a place in the national squad without playing at the highest level. He’s arguably the fourth LW option anyway with Gapko, Malen (and Simons, if necessary) ahead of him.
That’s fine if Steven isn’t good enough, sure. I’m more so going at the notion that once a player goes to Saudi they are washed.
Let’s say, for argument sake,Yamime Lamal went to Saudi in the summer of 2025. Does that mean if he were to get called up to the Spanish NT for the 2026 WC that “he’s no longer good enough?” It’s almost as if the moment you sign for Saudi you forget how to trap a ball or play a through pass.
The whole point of the NT manager is to find players that are good enough for the system. Regardless of what league they play in. Generally, yes, the best players will play in the best leagues, but let’s not act like just because someone is in Saudi they can’t do a job, especially in tournament football that is so short.
