Euro 2024

And how do we fund them without selling Dykes?

We have 3 first team strikers on the wage bill already.

Agreed. He was (hopefully) starting to get back to the form we wished for too.... Now the club needs to work out a solution as we cannot rely upon Armstrong or Frey I feel.

It's being described as a 'freak injury' but without any detail or any expected return date.

I thought the same....

In my defence I did put this up pre-Bosnia. I didn’t expect Dunk to play well, nor did expect Shaw to be fit or Wharton to be as good as he was when he came on. The Bowen one I find utterly baffling. He’s fourth choice on the left, fourth choice down the middle. He’s not quick, nor technically the best. Also played 7 times for England and done absolutely nothing in any of the games. Why he’s not gone with Grealish is beyond me. Only thing I can think of is he doesn’t like him, nor Maddison, as a person. Thinks they’re too cocky. Too arrogant and have too much to say for themselves. Having been like that myself when I played, I would expect Grealish and Maddison are two players who would challenge the authority of the manager if they thought he was going in the wrong direction. I think that’s partly why he’s binned them off. If you look at Eze’s numbers, pre-March, they are very similar to Grealish’s. So I don’t necessarily buy into the idea that people have had ‘better seasons’. But I mean Eze had to go because he dribbles with the ball and carries it in ways the others don’t. He’s an important substitute. Game gets to 70-75 minutes and you need someone to just go at players and commit, win fouls, etc then Eze is the man for that.

I wish you hadn't said that because I am a betting man!
