Tammy rejected Nigeria : Now named in the England squad (Merged)

[Reigate Red]

Many have stated this season how good it would be to see Tammy play for England. Possible that we may not see that:

Shame if that happens.

 

[BobBobSuperBob]

Don't think it will

Said how proud he was to play for his country

 

[Lanterne Rouge]

Nice to see a headline photo in the main London daily paper with Tammy in a City shirt.

Another story further down the page with the Tammy to Arsenal rumour that is doing the rounds which says Chelsea have sold Christian Atsu to Newcastle for 6m - sounds a bargain to me.

Says that he has turned them down before and is set to do so again. Bit of a non story.

Or as we know him, Tammy.

Interesting article on how Nigeria are trying to poach him before he gets a full England cap. Slow news day, I know.

(I'm aware he's not our player. I'm aware many aren't bothered. Don't sh*t yourself in fury if you're not interested, don't read it.)

[Red Army 75]

Try making a song up for that name. 

[sglosbcfc]

He will be good enough for England one day in my opinion. I hope he doesn't opt for Nigeria.

[JamesBCFC]

This is exactly the type of thread that @Robbored finds riveting.

I know how he loves to follow tje careers of players after they leave us.

Too late, put that at the top of the post next time

IMO England are less attractive these days . I see that young Liverpool player. Born in England chose wales . Times are changing

I personally think he's got a good chance of playing for England. We're not that great. We certainly ain't got no shearer these days

To be fair it's probably just our inflated ego to suggest he chose Wales over us anyway, he represented Wales over every format, u-16,17,19,...

 

"Woodburn was offered an under-16 call-up by England in August 2014 but chose to remain in the Wales setup at that time." So it's not a rash decision, clearly Welsh at heart. Both parents Welsh

Think he's smart enough to realise how much he's rated by playing in the U21's at 19.

Beware of cringe before you watch..

Brilliant.

Right up there with this

 

for cringeworthyness.

 

But the Reading one holds onto top spot as it was done by the Club.

[Henry]

Few injuries to English strikers and he has a chance to be at the World Cup.

he'd be mad to choose Nigeria

WTF is that. I ******* hate Reading. Come on city 

[Northern Red]

That Reading thing does absolutely nothing to dispel my long held view that they're a small time, plastic nonentity of a club.

[Guest]

I can't un-hear either of those vids.... arghhhhhhhhhh

[Phileas Fogg]

Interesting dilemma for him. He could probably make over 100 caps for Nigeria and could be a hero there - whereas obviously much bigger competition for England.

I think he stands an excellent chance at playing for England though.

Agree with this but not sure about the 100 caps??? I think yobo is most capped Nigeria player ever and he's only got 87!!

Didn't know that - assumed they were one of those teams that play loads and loads of international games - might be Asian or South American teams I'm thinking of!

It would partly go with how strong their squad is.

If he is leading the line and scoring freely against defences they have a good chance of making it to a World Cup and doing well in a few ACoNs, both will boost his appearences, he only needs 8 games a year until he is 33 to get over 100.
