Decent scoring record in the championship and not making it for England I also wouldn’t be shocked to see Harvey Barnes and Angus Gunn agree to play for us a few years down the line Hasn't Barnes already been capped for England? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has been, but is still eligible to play for us because it was only in a friendly. Not that I'd expect him to any time soon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I'd expect him to any time soon. Agreed. He’s England through and through, but he’s miles behind other attacking midfielders/wingers in their squad. They’ve got Sterling, Foden, Grealish, Saka, Mount, Sancho, Gallagher, Smith-Rose and his clubmate Maddison all ahead of him. Try again in 3-5 years when he’s still one cap 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely he would be looking at the fact that our first choice keeper is 39 and he could have the chance of being an important player for us in the future instead of getting no caps for England. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s only been capped once at u21, but given some mental team selections by the coaching team, I wouldn’t read anything into that. It’s not like Glenn Middleton is the future of anything. Has he had a glance at first team football yet? I’d love to see us steal Barnes (albeit he’s not a striker). There’s a few very good English players we could have, but persuasion could be a challenge. Making a World Cup could help that persuasion. It’s very different to be capped in qualifiers, and another having a realistic choice of making it to Finals. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 Urain is 22 and can barely get a start for Athletic's B team, he'd need to kick on big time to be a realistic candidate for us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charger29 Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 (edited) I don't think we could call Barnes up just now even if both sides wanted it. I think 3 years need to pass since a players last appearance for their first national team before they can ask to change. Quote v) at least three years have passed since being fielded for his last match at “A” international level in any kind of football for his current association, whether in an official competition or non- official competition... From what I can see the only reason he can play for us at all is due to an amnesty rule for the years surrounding the rule the change. He played for England u21 in an official competition aged=> 21 and therefore wouldn't have been eligible to play for us at all without it.

Donathan Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 If I was Clarke I’d chance my arm at another phone call to Angus Gunn pretty soon. He’s 26 now and isn’t anywhere near getting back into the England squad. Pickford is their number one, followed by Nick Pope and Aaron Ramsdale. After that comes Dean Henderson, Fraser Forster and Sam Johnstone. At best he’s their 7th choice keeper and being the backup for Norwich isn’t exactly going to convince Southgate to call him up. At this juncture it’s probably a choice between switching to Scotland or not having an international career at all, meanwhile conveniently for him we are the retirement of (39 year old) Craig Gordon away from a massive hole in the goalkeeping department so the jersey could be his for the next decade if he wants it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dysartrovers Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 Plus the conversation is not going to go well as soon as clarke says he won't be first choice straight away. No way is he replacing Gordon and he could still play on another 2 or 3 years 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bing.McCrosby Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 (edited) Young striker coming thru Jordan Rhodes is just starting on sky against Barnsley. With our current situation (cant believe im saying this) he could potentially come into contention if he's playing well.

Gordopolis Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 Maybe Rhodes has just been saving himself for the last 6 years in order to come back to his best in time for the WC? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 This is one for a couple of years down the line and a bit under the radar, and he could get a full NI call up. Reminds me a bit of a young Duncan Ferguson. Wiry, tall, aggressive… Lewis McCann (wee brother of Ali McCann). Can see some team paying a fee and taking him away from Pars even if we go down. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
