Reece James

I did as soon as I saw him in the youth cup, the only question mark was what position he'd settle down on but his ascendancy to world class was very clear.

Sometimes it's just too obvious, Colwill is another one, will be a disaster if we lose him.

Exactly the same, that generation of our youth from 2014-2018 was just unreal, we were winning the youth league and FA cups almost every year and in the UEFA youth champions league we won 2, runners up twice and the one year we didnt feature was 16-17 when our main squad wasnt in the CL so by default the youth team didnt make it either.

Colwill is one of the very few to break through in the last 2-3 years thats destined for a high level, he looks class and im really happy hes doing his loan spell at brighton under a great manager who is giving him a lot of minutes. 

Cannot wait to see him come back, just really hoping he stays injury free as that is always the main worry at this sort of age

 
Ongoing fitness issues apparently 

if Southgate wasn’t going to play him he might as well come back 

tbh if I was chillwell I would come back too 

 
Both potential fullbacks for us this season and into next have hamstring issues. Not ideal is it ffs. 

 
That tear against Watford last season has probably built up loads of scar tissue. Needs a good summer off for rehab. 

 
Although he's the best RB in the world and we had to keep him £250k a week looks a lot for a player that is likely to miss 1/2 of every season

 
So frustrating that arguably our best players can't stay fit. Kante, James, Chilwell, Fofana. 

 
As much as I want to blame Southgate, this is really an issue Reece has. It's a bloody shame aswell. 

We saw what injuries did to the likes of RLC and CHO, I'm hoping Reece is made of the same stuff Arjen Robben was, he never let injuries determine his career in the end. But most times it does. It's not good for a young prospect to be constantly getting injured like this. 

Does seem to happen to a lot of our youngsters though doesn't it?

This is all on Southgate. James hasn't been fully fit and hasn't started 3 games straight since his return...   

 
Need to stop these sh*tty qualifying matches during the season at two weeks a time, no once cares or wants these matches. Just get the season done earlier and let the same teams qualify at the end of the season and for the majority who don't care are away in the sun.

It was a dumb decision making him the highest paid defender in the league after one season. Never made any sense, and the knock on effect is you now have Mount demanding parity.

Now if we crazily extend Kante’s contract, we will have 2 injury prone players as 2 of our highest earners.
