We rumoured to be after Insigne so maybe we should keep an eye on him. Don't think it's likely though they won't sell him and Cavani in one summer!
I'm sure that rumour started on here, not sure there's much to it. May be wrong! Hopefully Clyne plays well, and England win.
Looks like this can be our tournament thread. The other two teams in our group are about to finish. Norway just equalised against Israel in stoppage time. 2-2 now.
Good start by Italy. Real shame shaw isn't there opposite clyne. Slightly annoying that he keeps pulling out of these squads, he didn't seem to upset when he was tweeting pictures getting on a plane to the Caribbean earlier! Nearly a nightmare for clyne, butlands fault though!
I've got Italy at 1-0 with Immobile to score the only goal. Think this England side has a solid foundation, but Sordell, Wickham and Redmond is a seriously poor/inexperienced front three compared to the rest of the side. I know Wickham's got a good record at this level, but I'll be surprised if he does well at this tournament given his lack of club football recently. The other two have hardly made an impact in the Championship this season. I also think, from what i've seen from both of them, Chabolah should be ahead of Lowe.
Stonewall penalty not given to Italy. Insigne pushing away Veratti from harassing the ref, what a good'un, sign him up Nic!
I wanted him before but I don't think we're getting him anyway. Maybe Clyne can give Nicola a ring after the game and convince him to really splash the cash.
