  1. It's also tricky because a lot of these people won't actually know how old they are or what their birthday is. It's common, so people just end up guessing.  (Also loads of Africans have their date of birth as Jan 1st as they don't know!) 

    Not sure how accurate MRI scans are either.

    I'm sure some might be faking it but it's much more complex than it seems in this country imo.

    Pleased for Bailey Wright. Didn’t he miss out right at the final cut quite surprisingly for Russia 2018? A genuinely nice guy and one of those players you can’t accuse of not giving it all when he played for us. 

    I believe he had an operation that summer after playing through an injury for us, so basically sacrificed playing for his country for City.

    Difficult assumption to call without knowing the full facts 

    I'd query why she hadn't sorted it out before today if she was that bothered? 

    Perhaps she could look into why so many "sold out" England games had so many vacant seats? 

    Uefa don't have a resale site and like many others I bought my tickets over a year ago. Luckily where I had spares I've managed to sell them on to friends mostly but this could definitely have been handled better.

  4. I asked an Oxford fan who I trust about Sykes and he came back with this:

    "Still not sure what his best position is. Came as an attacking midfielder who could play wide.
    We've played him as a winger, a number 10, a central midfielder and at wing back. His best 6 months with us was the start of this season. Has some pace and covers a lot of ground. Can hit a good cross and find a pass. Incredibly skilful but frustrating. Kind of player who'd do a cruyff turn past a player then stick the pass into touch. 
    Finishing prior to this season was terrible, there will be numerous podcasts where i said if he could finish then he wouldn't be in League One. 
    Think his main issue has been attitude/training work rate. Got bombed out publicly a few times by KR, which seemed to work. 

    If he was consistent, he'd be a very good player but still got age on his side. A lot to work with and going up a level and getting around the national squad could/should see him develop further. 
    Can see him growing into a role like Joe Rothwell did after leaving us in a similar way.

    On a free transfer, it's a no brainer."

  5. I have a friend who does analysis stuff for Bath City and I asked him about this earlier and he said "Callum Wood struggled to get back into the team and get fit after getting Covid. The new loanees replacing him just adapted better since. Dylan was in and out of the team - Very hit and miss in his performances"

  6. The reason that Massengo wasn't on the list was because no "big money moves" counted either. So that rules him out (if he were to be picked that is).

    It's under 21 but only by the end of the year so anyone born in January 2000 basically get into this years but only just :)
