Merih Demiral, a defender who scores goals at this level is worth his weight in gold

Immobile.
Absolutely the opposite of his name (in English). Proper handful, really busy, and always seems to find space in the box, even if he doesn't always get the ball.
Chiellini would do too...

Re: If we could have a player from one of todays games
Spinazzola, the left back, was my MOTM. Italy will be hard to beat - high energy, enthusiasm and technical ability. Love the fact that Mancini has gone, very much, against picking from the large, fashionable clubs. Seems to have gone for merit, character and lads that have a ‘team’ culture, with Chiellini and Bonucci as the bedrock……..reminds me of some other manager

Re: If we could have a player from one of todays games
Insigne was class never stopped driving the team on and scored a class goal.He reminded me of Roberto Baggio.
I think Italy will take some beating and make the final if not win the tournament.
I agree picking from many clubs on talent not press reputation works,unlike the "stars" we've got lumbered with by Southgate

Re: If we could have a player from one of todays games
The Foreign players always seem to Shine on the World stage. Where ours seem scared to attempt anything spectacular. Maybe Grealish could attempt a few mazy runs on goal to give us hope?Woodleyclaret wrote: ↑Sat Jun 12, 2021 6:05 amInsigne was class never stopped driving the team on and scored a class goal.He reminded me of Roberto Baggio.

Re: If we could have a player from one of todays games
Grealish is an undoubted talent - just hope he keeps his feet on the ground. But I do have a feeling that the Croats will have him targeted for some interesting challenges - just hope he’s protected and comes out of it unscathed?

He may well do but I don’t think he’s gonna start ahead of Foden or Mount, and I think Southgate will want some pace up there alongside Kane so will probably opt for Sterling.jackmiggins wrote: ↑Sat Jun 12, 2021 11:34 amSurely has to start......he’ll be good for at least two pens against those thugs.

Re: If we could have a player from one of todays games
An embarrassment of attacking talent.......defensively, not too encouraging, especially as none of them have a played together enough. We need to score more than we will inevitably let in (simplistic, but true, I’m afraid)

Dan James on loan - would give us a counter attacking threat which for a team that spends a lot of time defending we don’t really have…
Re: If we could have a player from one of todays games
No comparison in footballing style between PL and Bundesliga. Another shout for Embolo for me. Him and insigne would be serious striking assets

There isn’t but a striker who struggles to score goals in the Bundesliga is hardly likely to in the Premier League.

Big Rom. Remember when he made our centre halves look like weak little boys in a game against Utd at the Turf a couple of years ago.

Re: If we could have a player from one of todays games
I really don’t know. For most of the years I’ve been watching football they’ve been poor then all of a sudden we get these recent years. And their best player is missing.

I don't know anything about their domestic leagues but their exports (to Leicester for example) are really good.

Re: If we could have a player from one of todays games
If Woody moved on for big money, we could do worse than take a punt on Kieffer Moore, or that Finnish lad who scored today, both looked a handful for defenders, and both would also be handy helping out our set piece defending.

Re: If we could have a player from one of todays games
OK, so who has been picked on press reputation in our squad and who isn't there who should be? This should be good coz all I can see are the best English players currently playing in The Prem & a couple from the Bundesliga.Woodleyclaret wrote: ↑Sat Jun 12, 2021 6:05 amInsigne was class never stopped driving the team on and scored a class goal.He reminded me of Roberto Baggio.

Re: If we could have a player from one of todays games
Sorry but are you Rio Ferdinand in disguise? You need to do a bit of homework on the Italian players as they are all from the top 6 fashionable clubs. The fact is they are the best players in the country & unsurprisingly they play for the top clubs.jackmiggins wrote: ↑Sat Jun 12, 2021 4:53 amSpinazzola, the left back, was my MOTM.

Keeper from Milan (very fashionable club)
2 centre backs you've quoted from Juve (enough said)
Florenzi an ever present in the setup and at Roma for many many years. Now at PSG.
Barella the same, an ever present in the setup under Mancini and now doing very well at Inter THE CHAMPIONS.
Jorginho (Chelski)
Insigne / Immobile (very big clubs in Napoli & Lazio who always get to Europe / top 6 club in Italy).
The only real unknown is Spinazzola but has had a good few years at Roma nonetheless.
The only unfashionable club is Sassuolo with Locatelli and Berardi but it aint that unfashionable, they've been punching above their weight for many years so no surprise there are some players in the squad.

We don't need him to score goals, we've got Chris Wood for that!! But those attacking runs attracting defenders towards him would be nice giving Woody even more space in the box!!ClaretTony wrote: ↑Sat Jun 12, 2021 8:47 pmThere isn’t but a striker who struggles to score goals in the Bundesliga is hardly likely to in the Premier League.

The one I could see fit our system well is Dzyuba. Reminds me of John Parkin.
Re: If we could have a player from one of todays games
I've always been impressed with Boyata, the Belgian central defender. He seems cool under pressure, seems to cope with big and small attackers and often manages to get a leg in for neat tackles.
The right age for us too!

Re: If we could have a player from one of todays games
Got to be Ronaldo from today’s game. Most goals ever in Euros and only 3 short of of most international goals ever which is 109. Legend who should finish his career at TM.
