Ander Herrera has just been sold for £7.5m and Bolton offered £5m for Thiago last week.

Good value eh?

He's like a more mobile Xabi Alonso at times and at other times he reminds me of Iniesta.
I'm sold. Cracking player.

x2 I was thinking exactly the same thing myself during the match. The way Xabi turns on the ball and his manneristic arm movements, and can control the ball, find space and deliver an exquisite through-ball like Iniesta. Athletic got themselves a bargain by the looks of it.

Wow, that England set up is awful. Stuart Pearce should be sacked for team selection alone. How can you jusitify starting Mancienne a head of Rodwell in midfield???
Besides that, Spain played some very good football. Mata, Martinez and Herrera were excellent.
Henderson was alright. You can tell he's had a long season, and should have been on his hols. But the lad has got talent, shame he plays in a team with some many inept footballers. Some of them looked like they'd been out on the piss last night.
And Frankie Fielding? Is he the best U-21 keeper in England? FUCK ME!!!

If you feel like watching Spain play "keep ball".
[/quote]
meh, think il pass, shrewd bit of buisness by kenny, by the sound of things henderson should be worth about 10 mill now

Thats exactly the sort of thinking that sees england lag so far behind at international level, Spain may not win the tournament but their youth players are being groomed in a consistent style that allows them to transition into the first team more easily where the endless hours of practicing these passing triangles will pay off with the superior players around them adding a cutting edge.
By contrast England will always go into these tournaments picking their biggest strongest fastest players because at youth level those attirbutes can win alot of matches for you, when these guys move up to the national team and being faster/bigger is no longer enough to beat top level opposition they will be hopelessly exposed again for their poor technique and inability to retain the ball.
Walker does indeed look an excellent fullback, hopefully that means we wont have to worry about Kelly getting selected for England duty and he can progress out of the spotlight.
Both Jones and Henderson were awful, 16 million would have bought any player on the Spanish team, several of whom are miles better than Jones or Henderson. England badly miss Wilshire in that midfield, hes miles ahead of Henderson or Cleverly

I thought Jones was supposed to be a ball-playing centre-half? Like fuck he is tonight.
16m+? No thanks at this moment in time.
[/quote]
Yeah, was thinking the same.
[/quote]
From what I've seen of the first half - he makes Carra look like a ball-playing centre-half. If that's how he plays usually, then: (1) what an escape for us! and (2) WTF were we thinking going for him!?
