It will be Icardi in the Summer I reckon

Talented kids better off in Germany, more likely to get a decent chance

That’s crazy money for a kid that’s never played

Obviously going on the back of Sancho but huge gamble still

Yeah agree he's a gamble for sure, can see why they'd make the bid though, if you go off their times in the academy he's a bigger prospect than Sancho is

Puts CHO in a bad position though, will be a lot of pressure on him if he moves for that. Or if he stays at Chelsea will be a lot of pressure on him too

Yeah agree with that Rof. Think it puts the right pressure on the club though, let him go and get his chance or give it to him yourself.

Given a run in the team I have very few doubts that we'd be better off with him than Willian, crying out for something new

Sancho is probably the worst thing that could have happened for any of the big clubs though.

Pep

Yea Sancho has been crazy good

Funny that Brahim looks off to Real too. A much stranger move but not saying much for Pep if he thinks he’ll progress better at Real

I thought it was strange at first but then Real are giving youth a chance, Valverde and Vinicius getting games this season and their young FB. Hakimi last season too

Foden hasn't exactly been given that much game time for City, I think the hype around him overshadows the fact he barely plays. Think Foden only has 100 more first team minutes this season than CHO. Fair to say both would be rated in the same bracket as Sancho prior to this season, yet Sancho has over 1,000 minutes more than them and is looking like the next Mbappe

Same could be said for Ampadu too. Foden, CHO, Ampadu, Brahim could probably all go to Germany and end up starting regularly.

You'd think that the PL clubs would learn from the Sancho mistake though, but even Arsenal have stopped giving youngsters a proper go

Looks like Trincao off to Juve

True but still not the place you’d imagine you’d move to if you wanted game time. Especially if they also go for a Hazard or Neymar soon.

Strange move for Trincao if so. He wasn’t even doing well for Braga b?

Maybe they're looking to freshen things up come summer Rof and Bale etc could be moved out to have Hazard/Neymar/Mbappe, Asensio, Vincius, Brahim

I suppose its just disheartening for the kids at Chelsea and City when they are the best players in preseason then don't get a look in after that

Think they’ll definitely need to freshen up, Isco been terrible, Asensio not much better. Bale been a good bit better than both. Think Diaz would be loaned out before long if he did go there.

Can’t see Foden progressing without a loan either. Not going to get in that City team now unless they are well ahead or out of title race

Agreed on Foden

It is a shame as there is definitely a list of players that could make England competitive, on paper arguably have the best youth coming through in Europe, but they'll never get a chance

Trincao I have no idea about but looked good at the U19s Euros

Ye he was class there but done nothing for Braga or even their b team why it’s weird

England did well reaching semi finals of WC, but that was lucky, in four years you’d think they could seriously compete with France etc to win it. TAA, Stones, Gomez, Sterling, Sancho, Kane. And throw in Pickford, Maguire, Shaw, Chilwell, Foden, Cook, RLC, Mount, CHO, Sessegnon, Rashford, Phil Jones obv and whoever else. Looks good for England.

Maddison imo will be ahead of the likes of Foden, CHO, Mount etc

Madisson would be competing with Foden and Mount rather than CHO.

Mount is undoubtedly the most talented of the three

But they have to get ahead of Alli and RLC anyway

Bayern going to ruin my HG academy if they're not careful

I forgot about Maddison. Probably because I think he’ll do well to get ahead of Alli and Barkley alone.

What CHO and Foden clearly need is a loan to Aberdeen

You know it rof lol

Barkley

More chance of Winks having an England career
