Morgan Schneiderlin for England

[Convict Colony]

I'm the same as krissboy as I have to say I am very happy to select the best players we have eligible for us as a nation as everyone else is doing it, as long as they are qualified I would select Morgan straight away. If you look at our outdated philosophy ages ago about our manager must be english, that eventually changed so I cannot see why we do not pick the best players available as our competitors are doing it and our cricket team does it so why not football ? is it an ego thing ?

 

Obviously our footballers have self interest at heart but we either be **** for ages while everyone else advances and realise that the world is a multi-cultural society and if someone is willing to be our citizen it should make them eligible for our teams.

 

Diego Costa for Spain, Cacau for Germany, Portugal had Deco just some quick examples, imagine if we had costa instead of welbeck !!!!

I'm an old fashioned fart, and I like the rule as it is. I find it ridiculous when you see the like of Tuilagi playing rugby for England. Pietersen in the cricket is massively borderline, though he does have at least some family attachment. I also think it should be a rule that international managers fulfill the same requirements as the players for the nation that they represent. Call it old fashioned but international football should be that, and not a massively watered down version of it IMO.

We are agreed there but other nations aren't as fussed. When the Germans field a team of half Turkish and half Polish players (with the odd Englishman, then I think we've got to move with the times, sad as that may be!
