Joe Allen has been named in the team of the tournament. Fair play to him.

Shows how poor the tournament was then?

Well if Newcastle want 35m for sissoko after his euro performance Joe Allen must be worth double now 😂😂😂😂.

Almost laughable considering his casual loss of possession forced Ramsey into a cynical handball, which subsequently saw him banned for the Portugal game (in which Allen and Ledley were shown up as it was made clear just how much they relied on Ramsey to create anything from midfield) .

I like Allen, he's not a bad player. But he was shocking at times in these Euros. Couple of good passes against Slovakia and Russia shouldn't get you into the team of the tournament.

I'm with mighty red, this just proves how poor the tournament was.

Major blinkers I will admit but seems overly harsh on the lad.

The only welsh player who tries to link the play from the back 3 on consistent basis.


If Joe leaves this Summer - who's next on the LFC fans "not worthy to wear the shirt" list?

At least this may assist us on getting a decent price for him.

Jesus we are hard on your own fellas sometime, the kid gave it a good try, made mistakes but had more solid moments. Fair play to him getting in the squad of the tournament. If he is still with us next year I'm ok with that. BR didn't do us all a favor with his constant pda towards Joe and imo this is what put a lot of people off him. If he was brought in with the goal of a long term future based on areas of acknowledged development you would be singing a different tune of how far he has come.

Welsh Xavi I think he was referred to as.

In all honesty, think he would be awesome in La Liga.

I have always been one of Allen's biggest defenders on this site. For years he was the victim of horrific abuse and vitriol on this site and I have always argued he is a good squad player.

It just seems as though the general consensus has gone from 'awful' to 'amazing' in 6 months.

I am still in the middle. He isn't a good player, but nor is he a bad player. Wales overachieved and Allen seemed to soak up a lot of hype. He is still the same, limited, headless chicken he was at the end of last season. But he dies do a job as a squad player, and never moans.
