All about opinion I suppose

Our mate ewan mackenna makes a good point saying they should be allowed to take 40 that way it would stop the endless debate 🤓
Far better player than Ivan Toney and some of the shite they've brought. Looking forward to Spain, France or Portugal making wee boys out of them.

Can Toney play in any league now?

If so, you'd have to think that he will be back in the Premiership this summer.

Somebody should take a punt on him. I wonder what price he'd be?

He'd back himself to be back in the premier league that's a definite

Looks like everyone forgot about Henderson's switch to Saudi and his backing of same sex marriage lol

None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought.

Granted I don't watch a whole pile of English football but there's a lot of players there I don't recognise.
Where is toney playing these days?

He may not be a bad punt for Man United as Sesko won't be able to play every game and premier league proven.

He has a great penalty record that's possibly why he was selected.

Saudi.

But still what? He is playing in the equivalent of the 7th tier in England.

That'll hardly go down too well, with RM & their compliant media partners.

Hard to argue for the inclusion of many of them though. Huijsen and Carvajal the only players in contention and they aren't ahead of anyone picked.

Also Real have been reducing their Spanish contingent for years, this was always likely.

Won't stop them whinging.

Huijsen is a surprise to be honest. He's a vastly superior player to Eric Garcia and has been relatively constant for de la Fuente.

Garcia is genuinely awful. He's never seen a jersey he didn't want to pull or an offside trap he didn't want to make a balls of.

Is Raya the first choice keeper?

Defence can certainly be got at.

Unai Simon is, and he's arguably the third best keeper in squad.
