    Nigel Pearson was also on goals on sunday and he said Jamie Vardy wasnt his find. He was recommended to him from a bloke down the pub but he was already on Steve Walsh’s radar

    He also said he would have tried to take him to Hull but they had a transfer embargo

    Oh wel. Their loss

    I’m in Washington DC currently and there’s a game on in the bar between LA FC and Seattle. LA have a Uruguayan winger Diego Rossi who looks full of tricks and looks like he’s got a good goal return. Only 21 as well from a nation that brings quality through. Small sample size and quality of the league should be taken into account but it may be a market our scouts should monitor as a lot of young South American’s play in the MLS

    Understand it may not be the most reliable source but just read in the Daily Mail how unhappy Mahrez is at the lack of game time. Not like anyone told him this was likely..

    Man City are a bit different though - often it makes a year to settle in.

    Look at Bernardo Silva, Sane (I think?),

    Pep came out and said today Mahrez isnt leaving

    If Mahrez’s agent didnt just chase the cash then Mahrez would either be still playing every week here or found him a move where he would have been playing every week

    The Man City fans think Mahrez is crap

    Sounds like more ****-stiring from his dickhead agent who probably gets a cut of Mahrez's appearance fee.

    Pep has been chasing Mahrez for over a year - Mahrez is his man and he will not give up on him.

    Jamie Vardy could get a phone call from Gareth Southgate at this rate

    Harry Kane is a doubt for the nations league. Marcus Rashford is struggling for form and has come off injured today. England dont have any other striker who has played in international level other then Callum Wilson in a friendly

    Vardy said he would come back if he was needed so with him banging in the goals and other strikers struggling Vardy could well get a call

    Would be good to see - but bet he’ll trust in youth.
    Rashford is probably fit, Wilson, Sturridge, Calvert-Lewin, Deeney, Barnes, Glenn Murray, Tammy Abraham, Che Adams etc all over options which would prevent him after to ask Vardy to U-turn

    He wont call up Murray or Deeney. He has already ruled that out. Barnes has been called up by Austria. Sturridge will be injured, Calvert Lewin doesnt score goals, Wilson will go and the other wont get a call up while there in the Championship

    Vardy has said that he will play if there was an emergency - don't think this would count as one as England play with one up top and will be one of Rashford or Wilson.

    Can see Sturridge being the 3rd man - for whatever reason, Southgate likes him. Would love for Glenn Murray to get a call up - would add another dimension and is the next highest scoring English striker after Vardy and Wilson.

    Barnes can't play for Austria - they have a rule that only citizens can play for them and his application was rejected. Wouldn't want him for England if he has already given up on us.

    Would have been better if the adidas logo and stripes were the same colour as the fox or words on the badge but otherwise I like it.

    Is telling that Celtic fans are happy to see the back of him - their signing of Maryan Shved where it looks like he went over Rodgers head doesn't put him in a good light at all and the rest of his transfer dealings aren't really inspiring either.

    Lets see what he can do with an actual budget though.
