Personally think Frecks would be a good signing. Agree he isn't the finished article but he's handy in that he can cover a couple of positions whilst he is still young so could hopefully be our future LCB.
One further thing in his favour, (if I?ve read the rules correctly) because he was under 21 at the start of 2024, he wouldn?t count as one of the 22 in the squad limit for 2024/25. To have a player with a decent amount of first team experience and who doesn?t impact on your squad limit must be a bonus? -

It?s called ambition. Whilst always unlikely but if you don?t ask ?.
Doing some light research, it?s estimated Cooper is on circa ?25k per week at Leeds. Even if he?s being offered reduced terms, the average championship player earns between ?7-?10k per week (with some exceptions, eg, Leicester this season) so I personally don?t think we?re even in the running. -

Same here. Doubts about whether Sheckleford is good enough for L2 is one thing but apparently no doubts about Mandeville playing in that position in L2 while detracting from the attack is another.
Handy that we know he can play there if need be but to have him ahead of Sheckleford?
Though Cook prefers 4-2-3-1 when Mandy played RB we did sometimes drop into a sort of back 3 with Mandy pushing up. Reckon we might see more of Naylor dropping into defence at certain times too. -

For me i'm ok with Grealish not making it as i'm not sure he's been that great this season....3 goals and 1 assist all season in that City side isnt a great return and there is a lot of competition for that sort of position in the team now.
As someone pointed out on X -
Jarrod Bowen 43 games 20 goals 10assist
Cole palmer 39 games 24 goals 13 assist
So he?s going with form.
I guess the unlucky one is Branthwaite, many suggesting that if Maguire had been fit Branthwaite may have gone, but he?s gone with Dunk and Gomes as they have more experience (at Club level at least)
The inclusion of Shaw worries me, obviously our best left back but if his fitness fails us, I can?t see the obvious replacement there.
Overall the squad has some mouthwatering forward players and a defence that worries me. Will Southgate adopt the Paul Cook 2023/24 approach to games? -

I went on Monday night and Grealish did make a difference when he came on I agree, but we?ve taken a lot of attackers this time, so definitely not played it safe.
I don?t think Grealish would?ve been a starter so suppose he?s looking for what sort of impact someone will make off the bench. I guess he?s going for more pace with Gordon and Palmer (who have also been in better form).
