    Jude is the best young player (under 21) in the world right now.

    Pedri imo. Jude and Musiala after that.

    L take

    They are all special but Pedri is more my type of footballer. It’s not like I’m comparing Lukaku with R9 😂

    I think the way I look at it is that Jude is more important to his team (national and club) compared to the other two but agreed that all will be special in the years to come.

    That’s because Spain is just that much better than England :trollface:

    More like there’s no other player in toe England/Dortmund squad that can do what he does whereas Pedri is a dime a dozen in Spain’s squad :trollface:

    If you squint, it’s hard to tell which one is Pedri and which one is Gavi :trollface:

    Yes because Spain actually has more than 2 technically gifted players :trollface:

    Is Pedri really that good? I've only seen him play for Spain this WC and whilst he's a good player, he doesn't particularly stand out.

    To be fair who do Spain have that would be Jude’s equivalent ;)

    Anyway less said about the Dutch squad the better eh? :trollface:

    I think he will switch to 3 at the back for France. Walker & Trippier on Mbappe’s side.

    No one.

    And talk all you want about the Dutch squad. Frenkie, Memphis, Gakpo and VVD are enough to lift the trophy 😎

    Maybe, Walker RCB to match Kylians pace.
  • love how Dortmund didn't flinch when dropping 25 mil on a 17 year old from Championship, wtf were the English clubs doing meanwhile??

    Nah I think you could argue both ways on Jude v Pedri hence the trollface but I stand by Jude being better in my eyes because of what’s he contributing to the team.

    I mean he did get offers including from Man U apparently but his parents/he went for Dortmund due to playing time which is sensible 🤷‍♂️

    He’ll either be back in England soon or be playing for Real Madrid I guess.

    Imagine Jude at the next World Cup, 23 years old then, entering his prime and probably a Madrid regular.

    If Utd don't go all out for Jude and let him end up at Liverpool, I'll be pissed.

    Hopefully Jude’s not stupid enough to go to Utd. City/Madrid only.

    He'll go City to be with Foden, Walker and Co.

    I swear all the criticism of Southgate is one massive jinx.
    Time and again he gets slated, time and again he brings in results.
    Well I say he's the greatest coach since Guardiola. :trollface:

    He didn't want to go to another English team at the time.
    His shirt was retired because he was allowed to leave for free due to his age but he and his family demanded a fee. That fee stopped Birmingham from going under.

    Mbappe doesn’t like Striker, prefers LW. Endrick could still be a flop once he goes to Europe.
