Nobody should be stating with any authority who is to blame as nobody can possibly know.
True, but fair to assume Winks had something to do with it

He probably tipped off the Brazilian authorities when it became clear Scaloni was going to play our players in all three matches, all under the pseudonym Daniauro Levistuta.It's Levy. It's always Levy!
Spurs and Villa also at fault. The PL agreed to not release players for this, but they still did.
Even Wolves held back Jimenez despite threats from Mexico.
The clubs should stand together on these kind of things. This was always going to be a mess when the brazilians stayed back in England while Argentina had their players there.

I’m not sure we’d have had a choice. Argentina and Brazil are different kettle of fish to other South American nations. Players like Lo Celso would likely never play for them again if they refuse a call up .We absolutely shouldn’t have released them
Could we replaced Romero and Lo Celso with Winks, should of flew him over instead ??joke btw winks fans.True, but fair to assume Winks had something to do with it
Remember that time we let Son play on the Asia games despite it not being a FIFA recognised tournament? And then after he won it let him off from military service which would’ve all but ruined his career in his prime? And then this summer, when Kane wanted to leave and we had no manager and everyone was like ‘oooh our club is so shit’ Son signed a new contract that would basically keep him with us until he was past his best?
Perhaps supporting our players, to our own detriment, with their wishes with regard to representing the nations isn’t a stick with which you beat us.
This was the statement regarding red list countries:Did the PL back this, or just the teams decide not to release them?
The PL organisation deals with selling rights, media, growing the commercial brand, things like that. But the power in the PL lies with the 20 clubs that compete in it in any particular season, the league can't force any sort of footballing decision upon the clubs.Did the PL back this, or just the teams decide not to release them?
