pete 318 Posted October 6, 2013 I presume they mean the first team as they don''t tip players for U19, U20 or U21. Eighteen year old kid scores 2 goals to impress Hodgson maybe too early for Montenegro. But what is happening you now get a call up after a couple of first team games see Townsend, Barkley and Caulker to name a few. Why not Redmond surely wasting his time in the U21''s Ryan Bennett had a couple of good games but no mention he must be gutted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

splutcho 160 Posted October 6, 2013 It''s incredibly arrogant and presumptuous of the English press that they''d expect him to forego his right to play for Belgium to play for the mighty England considering Belgium have a far better national side and will continue to do so for at least the next decade or so.

Chunky Norwich 0 Posted October 6, 2013 It happened with Raheem Sterling, Keiran Gibbs, Martin Kelly, Wilifred Zaha the second he signed for ManYoo and I think Andre Wisdom so unfortunately it''s not like there''s not a precedent.But Janujaz is definitely Belgian. The next ManYoo kid will be Jesse Lingard Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Carrow_Road_Canary 0 Posted October 6, 2013 Apparantly he has to play in England for 5 or 6 years before he qualifies to play for England. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rufus Smalls 0 Posted October 6, 2013 Januzaj won''t play for Belgium - he hasn''t represented them at youth level so far and has rejected call-ups. He has expressed an interest in playing for Albania, which is where his parents are from. I''ve got no idea if he''s eligible to play for England, would have thought he hasn''t spent enough time here yet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Devils Advocate. 0 Posted October 6, 2013 I heard that Janujaz could be elligable to play for at least 1 of 11 different countries.How long will it be that the only qualification you need to play for a Counntry is to play there ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
