Well done Koeman

Agree totally. I remember when Southgate called up Henderson and followed that up in the same training camp by refusing to rule out Mason Greenwood ever being called up. He lost the one thing he seemed to be actually good at.

Wonder if many others follow suit.... Ivan Toney never getting in the England squad again?

[Tylluan]

If you need a Toneyesque player but aren't going to pick Toney then you're looking at Wilson or Solanke

Let's hope Mason Greenwood had a good season at @Owlsonline's official second team Marseille

Memphis Depay on the free agent list...must have become wank since playing in a European championship semi final about 6 weeks ago

I agree with Koeman. It’s not a footballing decision to go and play there.

Ive watched some of it. It makes the MLS look like the Champions League knock out stages. So, you are not going to improve as a footballer, which rules you out of top level/international football.

Would say it depends on the performances of Solanke as he is probably next in line. 

We are not blessed with English Strikers in the Premier League.  

Other than Kane, Watkins, Toney and Solanke we have Welbeck, Wilson, Vardy, Nketiah and Calvert Lewin.

What about Rashford and Sterling? I know it's cool to hate them and say they're wank, but both are better than the ex pig. 

I'd even go as far to suggest that both are better than the entire second string of strikers.

Was listing out and out Strikers - in modern day football Rashford and Sterling are wide forwards.  

I like Sterling as a player.  Rashford was a very very good player who needs to find his mojo again.

TammY Abraham too, but as we only play with one, we shouldn't need form than three in a squad and 4 available.

So Kane, Watkins, Solanke & Abraham should be enough for next 2 years

Abraham needs a good season at Milan to get back into the reckoning.

He had a poor second season at Roma, and then missed most of last season through injury. He’s a good player, if he finds his feet again, he’s a definite squad maker.

Regardless of how I feel about Greenwood personally, a good season in a piss poor French league gives him a chance of the squad.

Rashford either needs ETH to be sacked, or he needs a move away to have a chance with England, he’s a country mile off right now.

The Sterling to Arsenal move is a stroke of genius by both Arteta and him. He’ll get good minutes and he always scores goals. He’s got a great chance of getting in the squad.

Watching the Euros thus summer I assumed Kane had retired from international football

Can’t disagree with any of this
