Clyne, was the best RB by a mile for the two seasons upto the WC.....Now in the squad,ok> Gerrard blocked Delph and also the arsenal crock and Gerrard too
Thing is too, his Dad is also English, and he no doubt helped him decide on this matter, Samuels wants to deny others like him the choice in future, he's a ****
CLyne is of higher standing than Graelish that is for sure matey you might as well say Sterling is an example
Lets look at Samuels bitterness from another angle, how many top players in the last 20 years have England been denied by Irish scouts snapping them up? #fairquestion
That's not what he's saying at all though. He's saying that the grand parent rule is tenuous and allows nations to go sharking for players, who have no real link with that country, and pointing out that if the larger countries went hunting for young star players in the likes of Ireland that the same tenuous links could be used to the detriment of their 'real' Nation, brought about by bungs and dodgy agents.
I know that duh, NewsFlash : "Daily Mail hack has no power to change FIFA rules" are they FIFA rules?
I can see the ppint when you make it Tobes, but having read Samuels whole argument it smacks of other agendas But a fair question is how many top talents have been nabbed by Ireland this past 20 years using this rule?
or tell me when do you look at the Irish squad and think "**** we could have done with him"? not often I bet given PJs comments about sitting out the summer tourneys
The ancestry rule is there for all to avail of, heck Januzaj could play for England if he waited another 5 years or something. Samuels is a **** end of Those rules are there to promote the best players to playing in international football, if not with their home nation then another, even if their is no ancestry criteria met
In this day and age the whole thing in all sports is the same, be it cricket atheltics football ect Sure there are Kenyans running for Norway Samuels argument is like several decades too late
My mistake not kenyan for Norway, Gambian Not laughing at the lad, but he "changed nationality" to run for Norway please log in to view this image This is modern sports, Samuels is a ****s stuck in the past he is only trying and failing to create a logical argument because of his feelings that are probably not legal to publish
Thing is I have used a perfectly good examples and you are now being pedantic, Sterling only really gets a game for the full squad due to playing for Liverpool TBH, Ibe is miles better
