""England have a ridiculous squad, like France," Bellamy said. "They have a transfer market value of 1.4bn, ours is 170m. If you were a boxing promoter, you wouldn't put us together. It wouldn't be allowed.""
""We don't go off values, but the simple fact is they don't just have one team. They have two, three, four and France and others have the same level. England have loads of great players and that's the honest truth. One right-back went out injured the other day and there's only 24 more to go! They've got 60-odd players. I'd love us to be stacked like them.""
""Tuchel's an incredible manager - his record is proven,""
Wales will play England in a friendly at Wembley before Wales' crucial World Cup qualifier against Belgium next Monday. England manager Thomas Tuchel omitted players such as Jude Bellingham, Phil Foden and Jack Grealish from the squads for the friendly and England's qualifier against Latvia. Wales head coach Craig Bellamy highlighted the vast difference in squad value and depth, citing England's higher transfer market valuation and many available players. England and Wales most recently met at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar with England winning 3-0. Tuchel's managerial record includes Champions League and Club World Cup victories and domestic titles in France and Germany.
