England Squad - Euro 2024

Grealish is the more "madness" one. Yet to notch a goal or assist in 2024 and might go to the Euros.

Unfortunately for Bowen, he tends to only play on the right or up top and he isn't starting on the right over Saka, Foden or Palmer and he wont get upfront with Kane, Toney, Watkins and probably Rashford more likely to start up there before him.

 

Or Grealish.

Although I suppose Bowen is right sided and these two are left if that makes any difference.

Edit - just seen Jordan's post which makes mine irrelevant!

 

A 40 man squad..... jesus wept, Gareth! Parking will be fun at St Georges.

I get wanting to look at options or the younger kids, but there's probably 16/17 off the top of my head that will be on the plane? The rest will just be to cover spaces and probably will barely feature.

 

If that is the list, I'm glad the Palace young lads are getting some recognition because Mitchell, Eze and Wharton have been fantastic the last few months.

There's a lot on that list who are heavily linked with transfers this summer. Ramsdale, Trippier, Mitchell, Branthwaite, Tomori, Guehi, Gallagher, Eze & Toney all could likely move on this summer to new clubs. Apparently Bayern are going to try again for Walker, Rashford has been questioned if he will try kickstart somewhere else, Bowen might move up in the world too? Could be a hell of a lot of distractions!

 

Love the look of Wharton, bit upset he doesn't just have plain black gola boots though, seems the type. Seems like he's the natural upgrade on Phillips for that next in line CM slot behind Rice. Lewis and Elliott, might be this summer or maybe one more season but they are approaching the Palmer time of last summer, where it's getting to the "use me or lose me" time. They'll probably have one more season of this bit part, maybe a start every 4 games or so unless injuries to key men occur and then next summer might be the trigger for those two. Lewis especially.

Looking onto the World Cup, Walker will be 36 and Tripper 35. Trent will likely be a full midfielder by that point, James seems to be constantly injured. We're going to quickly go from having 4 top RB options to maybe 1? Should be time for Lewis to step up and see if he is the next one. Maguire, Dunk & Henderson all likely their last tournament chance too, a lot of the senior players wont be around for the WC so I'd be giving these young lads all the exposure I could at the min.

 

Southgate will be the Man United manager by Christmas is my bet.

 

He's Ashworths boy. He'll be finding the next boss and I think Southgate will be a favourite for it when Ten Hag gets sacked.

We've got so much talent at the minute under 23, I want Southgate as far away from them as possible! Hopefully the next manager (think it will be Howe) plays a bit more expansive.

 

Find out at 2pm, well it will probably find its way into the leakers by midday. If it's down from 40 to 30, unfortunately I can see the likes of Wharton missing out. Probably only takes 3 keepers too in the 30. Reckon Toney will go in the 30 and they'll monitor Kane as Sky Germany were saying Kanes back tweak is worse than first feared.

There will be a fair few CBs, a fair few wingers and then pick out the unfortunates through there. Got until June 7th I think it was to narrow it down to 26, the 30 will be part of the friendlies I believe.

 

First leak is that Jordan Henderson is OUT! Instead Curtis Jones will make the squad. James Trafford is expected to be included too.

Also, Henderson is to be named, 4 keepers? Eze, Guehi & Wharton also make it. Palaces end of season form has done wonders. Levi Colwill also going to be called up, surprised at that one as he's barley kicked a ball in 2024.

 

Sounds like Colwill will be LB back up as Shaw is in but Chilwell is out. No Sterling, but not really a surprise that one.

 

Also sounds like Jarrell Quansah has pipped Tomori, Dier and Dunk for a slot?
