In This Season we discuss:
Jack Grealish was photographed asleep at a table surrounded by empty glasses, likely after excessive drinking 128129. Trevor expressed surprise that Grealish's friends didn't protect him from cameras—top players should have arrangements where friends get them away from cameras if they drink too much 129130. Guardiola spoke positively of Grealish despite the incident, noting he always gave his best for Manchester City 130. Trevor believes Grealish will be in the England squad (he's on loan at Everton) but is unsure if he'll start Phil Foden hasn't featured as much for Manchester City this season with newer players like Jeremy Doku performing well, though Trevor still expects Foden in the England squad 132133.
FIFA proposed a rule requiring senior teams to have an under-21 player on the pitch at all times 134. Trevor called it "outrageous"—not FIFA's job to pick teams, and clubs should decide when to bring on young players based on their own academies and development programs 135136. Jerome clarified it's still in consultation stage aimed at youth development, as clubs often buy finished products rather than giving academy players time 136137.
Emmy asked about Nico O'Reilly vs. Phil Foden for Thomas Tuchel's selection—Trevor immediately chose O'Reilly, calling him "incredible" and a serious contender for Player of the Year and Young Player of the Year honors 133. Lamine Yamal's market value was discussed. Trevor estimated 200 million pounds given his potential and current performance, comparing him to Isak (approximately 125 million) 102138. Trevor questioned where the inflationary spiral will stop, suggesting a 1 billion pound footballer might eventually appear if another Messi emerges 102. Arsenal women were knocked out of the Champions League in the second leg after winning the first leg against a French team 120139.
Other Football Notes
Ronaldo is 30 goals away from 1,000 career goals (currently at 970) 113121. Trevor noted Ronaldo is over 40, making another 30 goals between now and end of next season "a tough ask" 121122. Jerome emphasized Ronaldo's determination and fitness but acknowledged age isn't on his side—though African players older than Ronaldo have scored prolifically 122123. The key factors are avoiding injuries and maintaining fitness 123. Abeloa defended Mbappé's holiday with his girlfriend while injured, stating "in his free time, any player can do what he wants" 124. Trevor referenced Guardiola's similar comments about Jack Grealish—managers watch players at training and matches but have no control over private time 125. However, Trevor argued clubs have reasonable expectations that players behave responsibly, stay fit, eat sensibly, and avoid getting overweight, especially in the closed season 126. Mbappé reportedly had an argument with a coach (possibly about nutrition), and thousands of fans signed a petition demanding the club sell him 126. Trevor was surprised fans would petition against such a class player 126127.
