That's quite bad if he is considering he was named in our squad for this tournament. I know he's a young lad but this swapping between teams doesn't sit too comfortably with me tbh, even at 14/15, he must have a feeling of nationality Edited February 16, 2018 by Bobby Russell's Lovechild Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super_Scotlandfan Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Confirmed that Dembele captained England Under 15’s yesterday. He’s played for both but this is the first time he’s actually turned down a Scotland call up in favour of an England one. Looks like we’ve lost him to the England youth set up...unless he bizarrely plays for Scotland in the age group up against England under 16’s on Monday.

Toepoke Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Hard to fathom how someone who's lived here virtually their whole life would rather play for England but hey, he's no' me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just that, but he has Ivorian family, so no English influence apart from the first three months he spent there. He was in the filming of a Nike advert a week or two back, with Neymar and Ronaldo, so wondering if he's getting his head turned already. Sad if true Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, source is a trusted guy on twitter. Was at their game. There’s a photo where you can only just make out Dembele but not worth posting. It seems like the under 15 games England are playing are low profile. Played Belgium twice with different teams apparently.

Sad if true Yeah seems cheeky England even made a move for him. But he was born there, why should they give a shit. I guess he might not turn out to be the player we hoped for anyway. We all know the history of our hyped up youth players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
er yir macaroon Posted February 17, 2018 Author Share Posted February 17, 2018 An England u15 beat Belgium 2-0 yesterday and he's not in that photo. So if there was another game he was captain of the u15 B team. I'm glad they lost. We need Brown, Rodgers and McLeish to get this sorted.

Bino's Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 We often win at these kind of levels Usually it's as the coaches have brought through the biggest in their age group players rather than better potential technical players So they can physically overpower the opponent's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been to lots of youth matches and usually our players look smaller than the opposition, particularly against England who really do fill their players with boys with beards.

Third Lanark Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 This has all the makings of an Islam Feruz scenario again. How abut Fifa step in and assign a nationality out of the 3? I'd be ok about losing him to Ivory coast but not England. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby Russell's Lovechild Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 I just think it's becoming disrespectful, irrelevant of the rules, that he gets called up to a squad, and turns out for another national team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the idea that you should make a defining choice when signing your first pro contract is a good one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The results maybe, but not the manner in which they are achieved. If you do the research you’ll find that on this occasion it was done through possession football.
