Let me guess, it’s Stones?
He's better than Smalling
Stones was playing like the best CB in the league this season before his injury towards the end of the first half of the season and he offers more with how Southgate wants them to play now

They have to lock that down then. If they can pull off Sandro, Hysaj, and Alderwield then United will be a problem next year.
And if there’s one player they should go after at Chelsea, it’s Kante. Even if Martial leaves, I still wouldn’t knock on Chelsea’s door for anyone else but Kante
I don’t see how Jose wouldn’t be successful with all that defense

looking at england's roster for the world cup....Ox would have helped a lot there. Surprised Delph made it over Smoking Jack honestly and a little surprised at the Cahill call up.
But other then that not a bad squad.

Hmmm, Everton eyeing Shaktar's Paulo Fonseca in addition to Marco Silva... 
That would be an interesting hire. He's done great work with Shaktar. Would be interesting to see what he could do with the Toffees but they need an infusion of fast/speedy players, badly... That daft p***k they got from @heggsy FC to run their football ops did a terrible job in the transfer market. And I said that from jump to...
There is no great les engages CB...

I'm looking at England's twitter and I don't get why the fans are downplaying this squad. They have a decent squad that get them out the groups stage and maybe go through the 1st round. I wish the USMNT had as much as talent they have

Then we could finally at least be mediocre...

Leipzig really sputtered this campaign, so it's not surprising Hasenhuttl left. I think a lot of the problems though were players getting "their heads turned" by transfer rumors targeting them. Still, I think Hasenhuttl would be a good pick up for any club.
Again, when a team like Monaco is rumored to be targeting a player, the big clubs should be following... It would save them bug transfer fees & wages down the road...
I got 2 Alonzo Mournings today...

They seem to be heading in an intreesting direction after sacking Big Sam with the potential targets being floated around and they just hired PSV's director

He's better than Smalling
So you believe Stones is a better defender than Chris Smalling?

Yes Stones is a better defender than Smalling. Smalling is not the best english cb and if he even was it wouldnt be by far like you said.

Did they fire ole dude from @heggsy fc? Hope so, they need to tie him up in a weighted canvas sack & throw him into Irish Sea... All that money he spent in the transfer market & he got a bunch of slow molasses a@@ed players...

i say england made pretty good selections...from what they had. I don't think they are a top 5 nation with that squad. But they did a good job choosing. At least its not like italy snubbing Balo when he clearly is one of the most talented players of that nationality and has performed well for country in the past.

This is a pretty good English squad IMO, not as good as 2010, but better than 2014.

Dudes have the most unrealistic standards and expectations of any of the nations that have won a WCI'm looking at England's twitter and I don't get why the fans are downplaying this squad. They have a decent squad that get them out the groups stage and maybe go through the 1st round. I wish the USMNT had as much as talent they have
You would've thought all the underachieving when they were filled with genuine world class players would've grounded folks

Yo o forget that before the new stadium and owner becoming tight with money, Arsene did produce most of the best players in the EPL. Especially the French and African ones

Again that was over a decade ago... even if he had to penny pinch, there are plenty of clubs in Europe that produced great players & competitive teams on small budgets. Wenger could’ve done the same thing but he didnt for a little over a decade now. Worse yet he was arrogant about what he thought he did in this recent period. I’m not sure how one doesn’t see that.

the AFA are putting more emphasis on how to pull Russian chicks rather how can Messi and Dybala coexist on the same lineup
I'll summarize/paraphrase:
1. Russian girls will notice you if you dressed nice and smell good. First impression is important
2. Women don't like to be viewed as objects
3. Russian chicks do not like boring men
4. Don't be negative. Women avoid men with a negative mindset
5. Don't ask typical questions. They want to know more about you and they wanna know about you since you're the new guy(s) in town
6. Russian women like men who take initiative and is confident
7. For the dudes with big egos, don't take advantage of the convo. For the shy dudes, she's only a woman...relax
8. be selective of the chick you speak with. Some are materialistic, some are not.
