But that might be, or have been, that they could only play for the home nation in which they resided. This all came up when Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland all approached Jamaican David Johnson.

Ah, that makes sense. The UK being a single country but having four teams. But big Joe lives in England, so we can still dream. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 Would be slightly concerned about how easily he gets yellow cards at international level. In prem he's got away with rag dolling a few opposition players with warnings that are probably worse often in international games Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikky Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 I was simply blown away by his performance on Sunday - it was utterly immense - dribbling, passing, finishing, positional play and work rate we’re all first class - he’s an elite PL midfielder - one of the very best Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lush Vlad Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 Totally transformed as a player and seemingly as a character, as well. He seemed really timid early in his career here. Now he is trying to fight everyone. Gives a foul away every ten minutes and looks absolutely disgusted with every refereeing decision that doesn’t go his way Machine.

Not surprising when you think of the state of the club when he first signed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heron Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 Feel like he's still not able to get the plaudits he rightfully deserves purely because how amazing we've been but what an absolutely dynamite player he's been for us this year Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's gonna end up on double figures for goals too, which is a great achievement given that he's probably played less than half the time as an outright attacker.
