Ramsdale had at least been training regularly and part of match day squads for all of 2024, unlike shoulder injury guy.

We’re talking goalkeepers here. They don’t need to run 10k per game.
Pope is fit.
He’s clearly the second best keeper.
Southgate clearly forgot about him

Goalkeepers
Dean Henderson (Crystal Palace), Jordan Pickford (Everton), Aaron Ramsdale (Arsenal), James Trafford (Burnley).

Defenders
Jarrad Branthwaite (Everton), Lewis Dunk (Brighton), Joe Gomez (Liverpool), Marc Guehi (Crystal Palace), Ezri Konsa (Aston Villa), Harry Maguire (Manchester United), Jarell Quansah (Liverpool), Luke Shaw (Manchester United), John Stones (Manchester City), Kieran Trippier (Newcastle), Kyle Walker (Manchester City)

Midfielders
Trent Alexander-Arnold (Liverpool), Conor Gallagher (Chelsea), Curtis Jones (Liverpool), Kobbie Mainoo (Manchester United), Declan Rice (Arsenal), Adam Wharton (Crystal Palace).

Forwards
Jude Bellingham (Real Madrid), Jarrod Bowen (West Ham), Eberechi Eze (Crystal Palace), Phil Foden (Manchester City), Jack Grealish (Manchester City), Anthony Gordon (Newcastle), Harry Kane (Bayern Munich), James Maddison (Tottenham), Cole Palmer (Chelsea), Bukayo Saka (Arsenal), Ivan Toney (Brentford), Ollie Watkins (Aston Villa).

Has until June 7th to prune seven out.

Who are the 7 that will miss out do you reckon?

Trafford
Dunk
Quansah
Shaw (won't be fit)
Jones
Maddison
Eze (although I would prefer him over Bowen)

Hard to read Southgate's mind but we known how much faith he places in his stalwarts. I think he'll take all of those that went to tournaments before, even Trippier and Maguire.

Also categorising several of those picked as forwards is very bad and confuses the picture.

Have you even seen the squad? He's already shown that he's finally willing to drop his stalwarts.

Will still win **** all with him in charge

I cba with this "preliminary squad" ****. Just announce the ***ing squad ffs.

Well I posted it, so the answer would be yes.

Maguire is still there, as is Shaw. The others (Henderson, Phillips etc) were pretty much unpickable.

poch sacked. lolsea.

Lol

De Zerbi in surely

Bad choice imo. They had their **** together by the end of the season.

Injuries basically ****ed their season. Harsh imo

Very harsh, and the owner refusing to shoulder responsibility for the time and money invested in Mudryk for one says a lot about him.

Good luck to the next one there.

62 million? seems a drop in the bucket in the grand scheme of things. no one else was worth playing on the lw for most of the season anyway. if it actually went up to the misquoted amount i dont think chelsea would care. do you think real madrid will care that they might have to send another 5 million check to chelsea for hazard if they win the ucl this year?

Absolute morons

Enough to tip them over the edge and into breach of financial regulations and have them scurrying around their property portfolio for something to sell to themselves, a trick they might not be able to repeat indefinitely.

yeah i dont see how this turns out well..

the rumor was he wanted more input in signings and departures and one of the sticking points was gallagher.

otoh they did manage to sell serial non-achiever Mount for 55M.

Chelsea were actually really good at times this year and were a proper striker, a full back, and Caicedo becoming good away from a real run imo.

People mocked them a lot for results but they were miles better than their first half of season and better than us/Villa too imo

Tactically much better than both. Villa have shades of title-winning Leicester about them and will need to buy better players to avoid getting found out imo.

lol london clubs

Poch finally sacked

Rejoice

Rashford and Sterling are the point I'm making. His stalwarts. Considered to have plenty of credit in the bank.
No effing around this time. You're not performing. You're out.
