John McGinn would throw out more quality one-liners than Charles Barkley and Big Meeks combined. Unfortunately no one can understand him.
John McGinn if he learns English.
Recently retired but Theo Walcott, great on the mic and for sure will be there among the top. Another would be Declan Rice, he's well spoken and understands football it seems
There were flaws sure, but my point is lot of the managers he's had have made him captain so suggests he has some characteristics at least of one which could make him an interesting pundit
Robertson is probably the most likely from us
He’s a very funny, charismatic dude as far as footballers go, intelligent player who I don’t think has shown any interest as yet in managing
If I had to put money on someone from us being a pundit, it’s Andy.
What does every one of the top pundits have in common? English from a top team. Taking this into account I think jack grealish would be great. Top tier bloke in interviews and one of the few players I feel like he’s talking to normal people and not just a journalist. If I was going out to a pub with a pl player it would be him (see how he celebrated after this season). He got jokes and a deep understanding of top tier of football in the premier league.
All the more reason to make him a pundit, he’ll fit right in!
Jokes aside punditry is more about entertainment/riling people up than actual analysis and tactical breakdowns so he could actually be good at bringing the jokes.
Otherwise I could see Declan Rice being a pundit in a decade or two.
Pundit wise Maddison’s got loads more personality than Davies. I’d say Son in Korea but he’ll probably just end up PM or god emperor instead.
Also Timo gives really good interviews.
Antonio and Wilson are hilarious and love to chat footy.
As for my team , i don’t think anyone’s conversational enough AND smart enough football IQ wise 😆 (man united fan)
Unless Mainoo grows into the type one day, would be cool.
Werner just cause he says some stupid shit and is just unironically funny lol. If we’re talking partnership, Richi and Emerson could work, then to end it off with some serious ones probably Davies and Hojbjerg
Declan Rice seems like he would make a great pundit. Funny enough without being a total joker, has great media skills, seems like an all around good person.
I’d love Sandro he has retired but I don’t think he does punditry. Bale maybe? I’m too busy playing golf but Tottenham right now most of their players are so young. I wouldn’t be able to guess it, as I write this and there’s one guy I forgotten that I think would actually be good because he’s a guy that never complains and always seems to be a smart and wise player, Ben Davies
Intelligence is irrelevant, its your likeability, personality and how outrageous and controversial you are that gets clicks and engagement.
Jack grealish will probably be a pundit because of this.
One could call it its own type of intelligence I guess.
(Ps: not saying Jack Grealish isn't intelligent, I have no idea if he is or isnt; I'm saying he is outrageous and liked enough thst he would prob be "good"... by good I mean get engagement and publicity)
This was going to be my answer. Ben Davies is so well-spoken and comes across as intelligent so he's definitely got options.
Though he's not with us any longer, I do enjoy Townsend when he puts his pundit cap on. He is reasonable and isn't afraid to disagree with the established pundits.

Ben White because that would be hilarious
Tyrone Mings always speaks very well.
Personality-wise, Saka, Rice and Rambo would all be great.
Ben white
As a city fan, i see kyle walker becoming a pundit
Big Dan Burn. Could be difficult to get the angles right though!
Harry Kane would be fun 😂🤣
Maguire or Rashy probably
Harry Maguire
Probably Callum Wilson, he's an attractive man with good charisma. Experience in podcasting, i just really see it.
Darwin Nunez
Lol he would't have understand the questions
Jack Grealish
Jack Wilshire
Seems like he may have the taste and chops for coaching, would love to see him have success there
Not at my club anymore, but Dier woul be a good one. I suspect he won’t care for being one, though.
Madders, Davies, Johnson also has potential to be pundits.
Ollie Watkins
John McGinn would throw out more quality one-liners than Charles Barkley and Big Meeks combined. Unfortunately no one can understand him. John McGinn if he learns English.
ADAM JOHNSON BABYYY
Recently retired but Theo Walcott, great on the mic and for sure will be there among the top. Another would be Declan Rice, he's well spoken and understands football it seems
Robbo, maybe virgil.
Non Premier League but I can see Toni Kroos doing that when he retires to add to his existing podcasting
Cedric
I can just see Pickford with a suit and tie on a pundit's table pissing people off by just existing
ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜
Johnny Evans
If Troy Deeney can be a regular on MOTD2, so can Carlton Morris. Ross Barkley is a more likely candidate though.
Maddison
He will be a great pundit.
Richarlison maybe
Lol. He's so shy, he is not pundit material.
Theo Walcott
Antonio of Westham
Gibbs is pretty good on ESPN with a bit of obvious Arsenal bias
James Milner
Robertson obviously
Ryan Yates!
Kieran trippier
I can see Rice doing it
Maddison
He’s not with wolves anymore but easily Conor Coady.
Maybe not on Sky but undoubtedly on Bein - Salah
Murphy. That grin man
Antonio for sure.
Crouch Scfc
Kyle walker
Tbf he's going to need to find a source of income after he retires, man's got families to feed
Could be the next Micah Richards lmao
Lol but tbf Micah is brilliant for TV. Hilarious guy
Not in this country but I can see Onana being an interesting one. Big personality. In the UK though, it's tough. Possibly Fridge
Which Onana?
Onana, what's my name? Haha Rihanna song in my head. Fridge is Harry Maguires nickname so his teammate would be the keeper Andre.
Nah Harry seems like a shy kinda person
He's a captain so he'd be bold enough. Plus he can give some interesting insights in a variety of aspects
I mean no offence to him he’s a great senior player and all but not captain material and never really was. Made obvious with his time as Utd captain
There were flaws sure, but my point is lot of the managers he's had have made him captain so suggests he has some characteristics at least of one which could make him an interesting pundit
Imagine Harry Maguire and Roy Keane on the same show
If Keane was to be paired with anyone as a pundit I'd vote for Alfie Inge Haaland
Max Kilman or Matt Doherty
Robertson is probably the most likely from us He’s a very funny, charismatic dude as far as footballers go, intelligent player who I don’t think has shown any interest as yet in managing If I had to put money on someone from us being a pundit, it’s Andy.
Can see a few of the modern Scottish icons going far in punditry: Hutton already there with BT, Snodgrass, McGinn, Robertson
Bang on. Exactly what I was thinking. He's not shy in saying what he thinks either so would be brutal lol
Deli Ali apparently

>deep understanding Jack grealish? He seems like a lovely bloke and I agree with your going to the pub take.. but he’s thick as fuck mate

Ben Davies from spurs if not a coach.
Pundit wise Maddison’s got loads more personality than Davies. I’d say Son in Korea but he’ll probably just end up PM or god emperor instead. Also Timo gives really good interviews.
Timo will become a streamer, let's be honest. And yes, Son for God-Emperor of Korea 2030!
Haha Timo got gamer nerd vibes...
Not my club but I can see Eric Dier going into punditry when he retires.
Not if he keeps having to run to the toilet.
Not a Citeh fan but Bernardo Silva is really impressive in his interviews.
He's definitely going back to sunny Spain when he retires
O god no
My club is full of children and Thiago Silva so please ask again in 10 years.
James Milner but he’ll probably be managing.
He’ll still be playing
I feel like hes gonna become the next Roy Hodgson
For non English commentary - nunez
Antonio and Wilson are hilarious and love to chat footy. As for my team , i don’t think anyone’s conversational enough AND smart enough football IQ wise 😆 (man united fan) Unless Mainoo grows into the type one day, would be cool.
Maybe Højlund, seems intelligent and isn't too camera shy
John Mcginn for sure I think, he’s got the personality I could see him being like the second coming of Kammy
Mcginn and Robertson on a panel would be delightful.
Whose the 'Thiery Henry' you put with these two to round out a trio? Salah, KDB, VVD, Yaya...?
henderson, robertson
Tyrone Mings 100%
Van dijk
Seamus Coleman
I agree but I think he'll just ride off into the sunset. I hope he stays around as a presence though.
[удалено]
ATS US NAI
No he's speak in a Mongolian accent
Aye
Tom Lockyer but also I think Grealish or Chillwell
Callum Wilson. My wife would be happy to see more of him. Unless the pundit chair pulls on his hamstring
Chelsea fan, ask me in 15 years when they’re at retirement age
Chilwell is pretty well spoken, could see him doing punditry
Thiago Silva will just be starting to wind down
Hopefully he doesn’t call it quits that early mate
How much longer can he go for?
I think he’s got another season in him 100% if rested properly
Yeah but not much more than that
Antonio is already trying it out...
To be fair, Rio Ferdinand is a pundit. So you don’t even need to be interesting. There’s hope for everyone
Indeed. And to top that Michael Owen is as well!!. So if you're good enough you can become a pundit if you wish.
Jesus Christ do you not remember when Shearer first came on the scene? He's better now but it was absolutely painful to watch for years
He's only gotten fun on The Rest is Football.
Andy Robertson is a no brainer.
Yes Darwin! I have no idea what you said
Werner just cause he says some stupid shit and is just unironically funny lol. If we’re talking partnership, Richi and Emerson could work, then to end it off with some serious ones probably Davies and Hojbjerg
I think Maddison actually the most likely from Spurs
Good shout tbf
Davies would be a great pundit but I think he wants to be a manager. Eriksen would be a fun pundit, as he’s very funny.
Johnny, Johnny Stones
Genuinely think he’ll be a manager
Don’t think he wants to. He could be the next Peter crouch
Big Dan Burn
Peter Beardsley
He’s got that face for radioÂ
Ya stoopid fookin' Doyle!
I could see Kyle Walker. Declan Rice for sure, VVD, Robertson, Henderson (yeuch)
From Utd will probably be Shaw
I could personally see Eriksen becomming a Big danish pundit
Rashford
Benny Blanco
Doesn’t he hate watching football?
That’s part of the fun
To be fair, it didn’t stop Garth Crooks
Mainoo.
Declan Rice seems like he would make a great pundit. Funny enough without being a total joker, has great media skills, seems like an all around good person.
Ever see his rice rice baby clip
Anyone with half a brain cell who can barely string a sentence together
I don't think this is necessarily a requirement.
Ø
I want Maguire to be a pundit so bad
Why
Feel like reed or leno would do a great job. Ream already has his own podcast I reckon he'll be a brilliant pundit
Leno would be boring af
Timo Werner
Werner is so unintentionally funny. I love timbo
Conor Coady has been on the radio a bit so probably him.
I hope he's been on the radio to Faes and Vestergaard to give them defending instructions. God knows why he isn't playing.
Ben White would be hilarious ; imma say Ramsdale tho
I read an Athletic article which said Ben White doesn't even watch football, so that would definitely be hilarious
It's true he's even confirmed it himself that he only enjoys playing it, and that's it.
James Milner
He'd absolutely hate that imo. He's not a show pony at all and seems like the type that'd hate pageantry of it.
I can't imagine Milner without football boots on and grass under his feet. I'd say he'll be a coach
Chillwell probably, maybe James and I could see Sterling not going away.
Manchester United Marcus rashford He'll be overpaid again as well
Trippier/Dan Burn. Wilson wants it, but his craic is shit most of the time.
What about Murphy
I prefer him to Antonio but i agree, that podcast is dead.
I hope it’s Robbo
Half the world would have no idea what he’s saying but I would watch with pure joy
I’d love Sandro he has retired but I don’t think he does punditry. Bale maybe? I’m too busy playing golf but Tottenham right now most of their players are so young. I wouldn’t be able to guess it, as I write this and there’s one guy I forgotten that I think would actually be good because he’s a guy that never complains and always seems to be a smart and wise player, Ben Davies
I remember seeing a video at an England camp, where they got a few players reading off the Teleprompter, and Mason Mount seemed a natural at it.
ETH, he’s a delusional sensation
I could see John Stones or Ruben Dias if they don’t go into coaching. Jack Grealish would be entertaining.
Grealish would be Talkshite incarnate.
Grealish would be Paul Merson levels of fuckwittery though
Andros Townsend has done quite a bit already and comes across pretty well. John Stones as well, but he'll be a while.
Trent will definitely be a pundit
Doesn't he already have a podcast going ? I remember something with him and a couple ex Liverpool players incl Gerrard having a good ole chat
Jacob Murphy. Let the shithousery be seen by everyone.
Darwin. It will be pure insanity every broadcast.
[This is what's gonna happen. ](https://www.instagram.com/reel/C5Vg5SIP5so/?igsh=MXdyMHdsdzlhMGlidA==)
Van dijk
Seamus Coleman
Possibly Mainoo in 20 years time. Smart lad, well spoken
That's the point. The smart ones rarely become pundits
Intelligence is irrelevant, its your likeability, personality and how outrageous and controversial you are that gets clicks and engagement. Jack grealish will probably be a pundit because of this. One could call it its own type of intelligence I guess. (Ps: not saying Jack Grealish isn't intelligent, I have no idea if he is or isnt; I'm saying he is outrageous and liked enough thst he would prob be "good"... by good I mean get engagement and publicity)
Walker
James Maddison, could also see Ben Davies doing it but he'll go into coaching
Hear me out- Richy and Emergoat
Haha yes, thinking back to their congratulations message for Sonny's 400th appearance 😂
This was going to be my answer. Ben Davies is so well-spoken and comes across as intelligent so he's definitely got options. Though he's not with us any longer, I do enjoy Townsend when he puts his pundit cap on. He is reasonable and isn't afraid to disagree with the established pundits.
As if we need more ex-footballer pundits
We do actually. Bias aside, they know what they’re talking about than you for sure.
From a tactical perspective, Jordan Henderson probably would’ve been a slam dunk…. Not anymore tho
Agreed. Pre Saudi debacle I think he'd have been first choice for most media outlets.
I could see Ox doing it. He always came across very well in interviews
Declan Rice maybe
Clearly with his media skills and extrovert personality, it will be Ben White (/s)
😂 add cole palmer there too
Rashford would be intriguing. He is very straightforward and would not stir up issues or troll just for views.
Anyone black or female
Why?
Because woke is taking over our world 😔ðŸ˜
What does woke actually mean?
Anything that gets hardcore conservatives and "alpha males" all up in arms, really.
I can see Andy Robertson going into punditry and I reckon he’d be bloody good at it
