[Football] Olise to sign for Bayern Munich

[Joey Jo Jo Jr. Shabadoo]

Not quite. I think he’s eligible for 4 nations, whilst he last played for France u21, and looks likely to chose them, I think he’s still eligible for England…….why he would choose them is a very different question.

He’s eligible for England (born in Hammersmith), Nigeria (father’s birth place), France and Algeria (his Mum is French Algerian).

He was on standby for the Nigerian squad for some AFCON qualifiers in 2021, but he’s since been called up for the French U21s. If he impresses early on for Bayern I’d expect France to try and secure his future in international football for them pretty quickly.

 

[Arthur]

You do know he’s French right?

He was born here to French and Algerian parents and hasn’t represented anyone as a full international so still very eligible to play for England.

 

[dwayne]

He‘s moving from Croydon remember.

True

 

[Bodian]

He could have your user name! I love the answer to the 'how did the goal come about?'. "Wilf passed the ball, I shot, scored."

He‘s moving from Croydon remember.

Why would he live in Croydon when palace are located in South Norwood ? In all seriousness he probably has a very nice house in the Surrey hills.

Does every Brighton player live in Falmer or East Moulsecoomb ?

If he has any sense he’ll choose France.

As Harry Kane said, his family can ski every weekend. What’s not to like?

If there's one thing pro footballers are not allowed to do it's skiing!

Except for Bayern’s own goalkeeper, with disastrous consequences!

That doesn’t extend to their families though, which I think is what Kane is talking about.

You write that as if South Norwood is the Beverly Hills of er Croydon

It’s probably worse these days, but as I have said before, when I was a kid I went to Croydon shopping and then came home to South Norwood in my eyes they are two different places.

Rejoice.

At that news and congratulate our forces and the Marines?

The British police. Aren't they marvelous.

Children have tiny little legs.
When I lived in Croydon (briefly, don't ask me about it, I've only just recovered) I'd walk up to Crystal Palace past the Sainsbury's without ever feeling I was crossing from one place to another.

No H - as much as I detest you bringing up the pork market girl - as soon as @ManOfSussex quoted that verse I was transported back 45 years or whatever it was - still makes my skin crawl now!

anyway this a football thread! Good move for him I reckon

Good point, in fact.

Yes, she was the ultimate gold plated wrong-un. And her party tolerated her for election wins, and as soon as the nation woke up her own party flushed her down the shitter.

Tories, eh? A log history of ruthless cuntishness. f*** 'em. Fie upon them. Let them burn.
