24. Kai Havertz — Germany/Arsenal (new entry)
Germany’s perennial agonising about their No 9 position has receded a little after their group opener against Curacao, and not just because of the way Havertz scored his two goals of their seven. His pressing, link play and movement also make him an intriguing focal point for Florian Wirtz and Jamal Musiala to orbit. |
What pleases me so much about this? Well, Havertz was such a load of shite for Chelsea he was hardly ever in the starting eleven so they offloaded him on us for big bucks. Where he's been a load of shite, hardly ever in the starting eleven, so naturally we're trying to find somebody we can offload him to for big bucks.
Since people are always saying what a great player he is (against Curacao) we have every chance of doing this. Except Arteta is one of those people who rate him. So it will take Havertz to be ranked at a really big tournament by a really big sports outlet to get an offer of really big bucks to persuade Arteta to let Havertz go.
Go on, son, you've managed several decent performances for us (about twice a year for the last three years), surely you can manage a couple more for your country playing against minnows? Pretty please.
PS Declan Rice was at #12, William Saliba #17, Saka #29, Gabriel #41. Plus Bradley Barcola who'll be joining us this summer at #48.
FYI, Harry Kane was at #2 and Jude Bellingham #11.
