I think that is clear to see.

But that doesn't mean that's any less important than he was in 2018 or 2021.

When we talk pound for pound signings of the season, not a lot of people mention Jordan Henderson.

You know, Dominic Calvert-Lewin's had a great season.

He was a free...

like Jokeres, Xhaka, there are players who deserve to be mentioned, but no one really mentions Jordan Henderson in that bracket this season.

I think, pound for pound, the amount of money that he cost, what he brought to Brentford, exactly as Stephen's just said there, experience, still a pretty high level of quality on the pitch, he's been one of the signings of the season, no doubt.

Yeah.

When you talk about big tournament experience, we will never forget that semi-final goal at Euro 2024 in Dortmund last minute.

It was one of the moments of Gareth Southgate's reign.

So he's got that experience in his locker and that will leave him in good stead.

But I think the interesting thing with Ollie Watkins is, and it kind of speaks to the theme of, I guess, sports science, as Stephen was alluding to earlier.

I know that having spoken to him in the past, he invests quite heavily financially in a team behind him.

So life coaches, psychologists.

And when we were speaking to him earlier, I remembered that and brought that up.

And I was like, how did that help you overcome the disappointment of missing out on the previous squad and then obviously having to deal with the negativity around you potentially not being named in the squad?

And he was, look,

Absolutely, but there is a positivity in life that you have to keep.

You can't let those negative thoughts negate and affect your future.

I think he comes into the tournament, as you say, in great form.
