    Chris Yeates: How have you missed James Ward-Prowse from the qualifying XI? He's going to become a good player for England next few years.

    Dan Grosvenor: Tried to use England sector. See no Ben Gibson on the list. England under 21, and best CB in Championship last year.

    Fair points, boys, but we had to draw the line somewhere. Otherwise we'd be including pub league right backs and left wingers.

    Manchester City defender Pablo Zabaleta is a target for Italian club AS Roma.

    However, he lost his place to Bacary Sagna at City last season and it seems that new coach Pep Guardiola is willing to let the Argentine leave before the final year of his contract.

    There's no doubt who has been the biggest non-playing star of Euro 2016.

    Thanks to an infuriatingly catchy chant, Will Grigg's name will forever by synonymous with the tournament despite the fact the Northern Ireland striker never even made it onto the pitch.

    Despite that, Hamburg fans have started a petition to get the German club to sign the Wigan striker.

    The petition, which has attracted over 5,000 signatures, claims the deal would "finally bring proper atmosphere to the stadium".  

    Maybe worth telling the Hamburg fans they can sing the chant regardless of whether he plays for them or not? Just a thought...
