Speed merchant? Walcott is a speed merchant. You don't get 21 pl goals, be a key player in a Real madrid side winning 3 chl titles in the last 4 years by being a speed merchant. This forum is ridiculous at times, as if you can become a world class player simply by being fast. Insanity
The amount of games Bale misses indicates he probably isn't a key factor in Real winning all those titles.
 
Refusing to to lick your balls whilst waiting for the new man to paint the bedroom and buy silk sheets and then on the
first night with him she lets him give it up the wrong'un, first fucking night!!!

Solo laps round WHL, lapping up the applause for himself wouldn't cut it with this team.
Haha, now his metaphorical tits are down by his knees while we've had a cock enlargement and are sporting a six-pack
 
I wonder whether peoples opinions would change if they found out he really wanted to come back and would drop his wages to 85k...

Personally I'd love to see him back, but I wouldn't want to pay mega bucks for him, for all the reasons people have listed above
 
He still is? He had a great start to the season
You can't be World Class if you're not playing. If he plays and then shows that he is, then no problem. I think his best days as player were with us, don't ever think he has repeated his form or shown the same ability for them as he did us, apart from one amazing run in Copa del Rey, I'm not talking about winning trophies BTW but individual performances.

Eh, why bother arguing with you when it's pretty obvious you already have your mind set
 
Can someone please tell me what he actually did against Germany that everyone is wanking over.

A great pass to Vardy, who is shit so fluffed the chance and a great pass to Livermore in the 2nd half, that's it. Everything else is as routine, couple of hospital passes in that montage too. When not being shit gets you MOTM.


Played without fear?

I can't help but feel if that was Onomah playing instead, many would be creaming themselves, especially after the double nutmeg. Considering Onomah compilations have been made and praised with alot less.
 
With the 3 at the back formation we don’t need a defensive mid in most matches. Wanyama and Dier are brilliant, but I’d love to see what a partnership of Winks and Loftus-Cheek could evolve into.

I imagine we may see that for England.

Though the countries future lies wirth Winks, Alli and another in a midfield 3 in my opinion. Preferably Lallana.

So people wanking over him because he played without fear, what about the other debutants? Thought they were far more effective, in particular Maguire who was excellent, Gomez played well too both also played without fear. He gave the ball away following the nutmeg, so not all that great really.

Abraham was terrible, looked like a League One player. It wasn't Maguire's debut and Gomez looked fine, as most centre backs with limitations should in a back three.

No doubt RLC got MOTM because it was his debut, the same reason KWP got MOTM on his Spurs debut (despite Atsu tearing him apart a few times and generally wasting most of his crosses) and others get MOTM on their debuts, mostly youngsters.

Who's wanking over him? He has always been a highly rated talent who never got his chance. He should never have been called up to the England squad, but he did and he looked fine against Germany in a friendly. Calm down.

Man, you ain't half a cynical bastard!

Which goes back to what the fuck did he do? Regardless of MOTM, what did he do that everyone is wanking over?

(Harder to play in a back three than in a four, need to be better on the ball and more tactically astute both with and without the ball).

Passed the ball forward? Took players on? Generally looked positive in his play? Something most English midfielders the last 5 years HAVEN'T done? Winks literally done "nothing" against Lithuania and we all wanked over him too, because it's a start. Southgate has already done more than the past three managers when it comes to the future of the team. I can't wait to see how he decides to pick his starting eleven when everyone is fit.

I think playing in a back three can mask many players weaknesses, case in point Dier being shocking when playing in a back four but looking like Maldini when playing in a back three. But that's just my opinion.

He made few forward passes, his two take-on's he lost the ball, one of those occasions he got it back by luck. Look I don't want to pure doom on the lad, it's not why I made my post, in fact I'm glad he was selected as it's providing competition for all places on the pitch, just simply think he didn't do anything that great other than the two passes I mentioned.

Winks is by far the more technical footballer, better brain too. Take a look at the video again and look at RLC's body position and compare it to winks, massive difference between the two, RLC never on the half-turn always flat-on when receiving the ball.
