You dont pick your country to win trophies. You pick your country to play for your country. If the chance to play in major comps and win a trophy or two comes your way then what a huge bonus that is. This saga and and the amount of lads fawning over him and making excuses is sickening. As Hoskins said, he decided to make himself unavailable at a ti e when we needed him most. I hope he never wears the green again, he can go and fuk right off.

Hmm. If the talent was there at underage level would some of it not already be in the senior squad? France could win whatever underage tournament they wanted if they allowed some of their young senior players to play for their underage age group.

Given the phrasing of his statement. "I will make decision soon" Just make a decision now then. This is what has me convinced that this last few months has been been pure theatre.

yeah, ridiculous how much time he has been given to 'make his decision' anyway its likely to be for England and he will probably think the 3 caps for us will soften the blow

And what happens if you have links to, and are FIFA-eligible for, multiple nations? I agree this saga a pain in the hoop, but none of us here know Declan, his agent, his family etc. "You pick your country to play for your country" - says who? Is this a FIFA directive?

This. If, and its still an IF, Rice ditches us, its an utterly shameful thing to do after 3 caps. Id wish him good luck if he had not represented the senior side. Grealish, while he came across as a knob, at least never wore the senior jersey

That other thread with the Poll on who Rice will play for - Why is there not a "Couldn't care less" option ?

If he wants to win trophies why did he a sign a new contract with West ham? Surely his new agent that was into his ear about switching to England would have known there be interest from top 6 clubs in the premiership in him, and to be fair all the fuss and time spent on his new contract with West ham in the end it was nothing special,In my opinion the lad seems to be getting bad advice from every quarter,the only person or persons he should listen to or trust is his father and family .

He signed a contract to get 40 grand a week so that if he signed for city in a year or 2, he could then command 100 grand a week. Contracts just means everyone wins...selling club can charge huge amount, players gets a bump in wages, agent gets a bump. Only losers financially are the buying club, but at least they get a class player.

Regardless of his family background, he was born and raised in England. You'd imagine most of his friends are English as are those whom he works for. I wouldn't doubt that he is delighted to have Irish roots and that when he put on the shirt, he felt extremely proud. But he probably feels as much English as Irish and for that you can't blame him. There might have been a part of him that doubted he would ever get a call from them and when he was told that it was possible then the decision wasn't so easy. All speculation obviously but if he identifies as both 50/50 then it'll be England. And why not? As much as it pains me, they've better players, a better set-up, a brighter future and it will probably result in more money as well.

Spot on Sham. Trophy-chasing and maximising your income should be left to club football. International football should be about the pride of playing for your country. Call me old-fashioned if yis like but that's my take on it - and I'm sure I'm not alone on this. |
