Thought it was pretty good tonight - a bit Rooney-centric for my taste but otherwise ok. Pundits were fine, good analysis. And great to see Callum get a deserved goal.

I mean because I haven’t got Sky I’ve missed the last 5 games or however many it’s been. All England games should be on free to view tv.

And the FA cup final should be at 3 o`clock on a satdee afternoon, Grandstand following the coach from the teams hotels, abide with me before the game, twin towers and Maggie Thatcher sitting in the VIP box and plenty of sunshine.
Should be the law.
Right or wrong, that boat sailed long ago and I cannot see it returning. I understand that everyone is not willing/able to pay for Sky subscription, but the vast majority of the population will have a pub somewhere near them showing Sky, if they are really interested and want to watch the game.

Thought Callum Wilson did ok last night. It wasnt a bad start in international football at all. I would far rather see him in the England team than Wellbeck or Vardy. Glad he got his goal but he missed a couple that at international level should have been scored - maybe put that down to nerves though
It wont have harmed his value certainly

A nice thought, but more or less every single team in the Premier League and a number of the big spenders in the Championship would go bankrupt by the end of the season if that were the case. Football is a supply and demand business. Nothing will change that unfortunately.

Just to clarify. Do we get £25K per England appearance or just an extra £25K if he gets into the England squad?

Agree. As highlighted by coab I was being nostalgic. Dreaming of a utopian society where people can watch top flight/lower league football on the telly for the cost of their tv licence. Not sure I’d want thatcher at the cup final though...
Although I’m hoping that brexit will solve all this. After which the prize for winning the FA Cup will be an extra weeks food rations for all the players. Hurrah!

Agree with this, but the BBC/ITV probably not getting enough bang for their buck on England friendlies/qualifiers. If the country engage more with the National team following the world cup, it could return to those channels.

In terms of his value, I think it's a tricky one. I'd argue he's almost 'untransferable', he's 26 so not exactly young and has two big injuries on his record. Add to that the PL is swimming in money, and you can't get a decent, established player for less than £30 million, I can't see Bournemouth selling for less than say £45/50 million. Conversely, I can't see another club shelling out that kind of cash for him given his age and injury record.

Didn't Everton pay £45 million for 28 year old Sigurdsson last year?
Arsenal put in a 30 million plus deal for Vardy after the Title winning season? He was 29 i think? Only 1 good season in the premier league
Nobody will buy him in January, as he hasn't done it for a full season. If he keeps it up all season scores 20 goals, I would think someone would pay 40 million next summer... Some of the big teams need a striker either first choice or second...
Spurs need someone- but doubt they would pay
Liverpool- probably in need of a decent back up if Origi and Sturridge go.
Arsenal- don't need him
Chelsea need a good back up.
Everton- probably would pay 40-50 million as they are in need of a quality striker.
United- Nah
City- Nah...

From an England fans perspective I like the idea of Wilson and Kane playing together every week.

Bournemouth were able spend the best part of £40M on a midfielder (Lerma) and left-back (Rico) this summer - i.e.quite prepared/able to spend. Not much point in that case selling a proven Wilson for £40M as they would then be looking for a replacement with £40M to spend.

At the moment Spurs would be an awful move for him. They only play one up top and that's Kane. Unless they change their system he would be on the bench for most games or played out of position. Either scenario would not be good for him.

Everton did, but then Sigurdsson had several years of proven ability at that level, with no significant injuries on his record.
I agree though that someone might be pay £40 million for him, however would Bournemouth accept that offer? I'm not sure they would. They'd likely have to splash out significant sums to find an adequate replacement, and even then it's no sure thing.
Ordinarily I'd argue that in this scenario, clubs compromise because they don't want to stand in the players way, however I'd imagine Wilson owes a degree of debt to Bournemouth for the past few years, and I'd be surprised to see him kick-up a fuss for a move to Everton.
A good scenario for us would be Howe moving on, and that causing some significant change and instability at Bournemouth.

You any idea how many pubs are closing per week in the UK?
Yes, about 18 on average each week according to the latest figures. Doesn't change my point that most people are within fairly easy reach of a pub showing Sky, unless perhaps you live in the Hebrides or somewhere similar. I guess it depends how much you want to watch it.

Can just see the stampede of Outer Hebridean Jocks to watch an England game in the local pub....

Sky has relied on good encryption of it's boxes and most people being honest or not able to understand the technology and simply pay what Sky demand. The internet now links the world and the savvy generation are among us. Give it another ten years, when every football fan has been brought up "on line" and can easily find a free stream or a hack to get around it, and Sky will implode - taking with it the greed that has fueled the PL.
Back on topic - really pleased for Wilson, local lad playing football for his country. He used to live opposite my Brother when he was at the academy, makes it even more special.

Sigurdsson had only had success at Swansea? Had a couple mediocre seasons at spurs and that’s it... decent player? Yes? Any better than Wilson? Probably not...
Just likes it no sure thing Wilson wouldn’t get a career ending injury after they reject it? I think they would accept 40 million or above. And they could find a replacement for that. Plus have profit... they aren’t a club that buys the finished article but could easily get a decent striker with room to improve...
Money talks at the end of the day. While also he’d have a much higher chance of playing in Europe at Everton, and it’s a bigger club. Kick up a fuss? No but I don’t think he would for any club. Would he move. Yes
