Internationals

You know, Sancho doesn’t look the great player who would be worth £108 million. Potential, maybe, but he’s not there yet.

He was never worth that much, few players are.
But I wouldn't be so quick to judge him based on his performance for England.

Trent is a rather mediocre right back judging on this performance.

How about the last 100 performances for us?

I'm being tongue-in-cheek obviously.

England were fucking shite

Kane should've score last min when Schmichel fucked up great bit of defending on the line.

 

[Kay Age El]

What happened to Erisken, @Kay Age El? He seemed to be the kind of player who would only get better with age, but he's lost his spark. Telling that he hasn't scored from a free-kick in ages after being one of the best in the EPL at this in his prime.

A bit late but here’s my take.

Eriksen is more or less the same player but the transition to the Serie A with a manager asking him - between the lines - to become more of an arse hasn’t suited his very down-to-earth mellow persona.

That’s half the story at least. The other half is that he moved to a very well-drilled team midseason and that’s always a bit risky. Even if he was slightly better than the ones there few managers would disrupt the balance immediately by benching one of last weeks/months star performers for the newcomer.

So, bottomline for me is that Eriksen is still very much a class act on the pitch, despite his poor run of form, and my guess is he’ll be an integrated part of Contes team for the new season. If not, Inter’s loss and a move back to the Prem or perhaps Barcelona seems most likely.

By all accounts he was not the signing Conte wanted and club kind of forced it on him. Don't think he has a future at Inter. But even at Spurs his production has dropped off in the last couple of years, no? Not sure the likes of Barcelona would want him.
