Jodera:
An unpopular opinion.
To be honest, I'm having mixed feelings ESR and especially Gabriel are being called to the national team. I know if they put on these performances they're giving, they'll surely make the world cup team, but as for now, I'm just afraid let none suffer any injury while on Intl break either through training.
Am I happy for them to get their first call up? Yes

But the arsenal fan in me is not so happy cos if anything happens (esp to ESR), na pepe we go com dey see

This is the reason I'm not all for international call up for now
During wengay days we suffer alot from international break

Spy360:

Absolutely nonsensical. Though ESR and Gabriel eventually got theirs, but White has been phenomenal and really deserves a call. Southgate is another Ole...

Jodera:
Welcome back boss Kbs468.
Really missed your updates and arsenal post.

Na jencejyde remain now o

Jencejyde:


Haha , I dey oh, just watching and observing cos sometimes the arguments don't make sense but hey its a free forum where everyone has an opinion no matter how bad or good and its all fun.

Kbs468:

Then please come back and join the fun by contributing meaningfully on sensible arguments.

Just come regularly again and cruise on like I just did too after a long while.

I swear I never knew that my posts and updates usually make sense until yesterday when I logged in again to the reference being made to my activities in here on my mention.

Your being referenced equally by Jodera among others is also a testimony to how you are being very much appreciated too like we do to each and every member of this thread as a family of Loyal, devoted and dedicated Arsenal fans.

Please respond to this plea appropriately by coming back on board accordingly

Spy360:

Forget talk. An international call up adds to the value of the player and his acceptance with non-club fans which is an advantage to the club. See Saka.

This aside, it gives the player morale and confidence against other top players. Let's just see how ESR's confidence will skyrocket once he's back against Liverpool.

Kbs468:

Don't worry as there is no cause for alarm since they are certainly not featuring for their country's first 11 in their first Caps after all.

They equally know that the future is bright for them with respect to their ages, so the training wouldn't be a do or die affair thus caution would be the key word for both as they know that Arsenal career is a priority for them in the meantime

Jodera:
Lol... Even if I'm southgate, I won't call White for now, but one thing is sure, I'll still be looking at his performances while getting him in mind to replace Tyrone Mings.

Jodera:
Saka will always be valued whether he plays for England or not. You can't be too good and not be valued. Maitland-niles is an England Intl, would you say he's more valued than ESR??

While I agree it breeds confidence to a player, but one thing is certain with ESR continuous rich vein of form, he'll be hard to be overlooked. After all is it not raahford that shot to limelight around December and made the euros 2016 team?

Kbs468:
It's time for me to scream too.

Sod09 where are you at?

You layed the foundation of my coming back and then you too disappeared?

Hope all is well with you wherever you are right now Brother

It is well with each and everyone of us in this family of ours in Jesus name

Amin inshallah

Spy360:

I mean it will add to the value. Call it hype if you like but there's a reason United bought Sancho for 82m after he was called up to NT, Calvert-Lewin, etc.

Once a player reaches NT, that player becomes an international player. That's extra bucks for his club and extra excitement for his fans.

Spy360:

Sod is iamoyindamola. Our landlord pikin.

Spy360:

If performance is the criterion then White should be called up.

Kbs468:

You mean :
Sod09 is the same character and personality as Iamoyindamola that I know?

Or you are just kidding me.
I Doubt your assertion though until proven otherwise by all and sundry oo

Jodera:
performances is always the criterion, but you don't use 3 months of good performance to judge a player(at least not me). At least 6 months probably.

Tyrone Mings is still riding on his performances of last season (coupled with england not having good CBs), so I'll give White from now till end of season (since there's no Intl break after this), if he still performs this great, then he'll be in my WC squad.

I don't see the need rushing players into national teams after 1-3months of good performances

As for Gabriel, he was due for call up a very long time

Jodera:
Spy is correct.
They are one and same person
