[Smirko]

Is this actually 'official' yet.....?

 

[Surrey Phil]

Yep - congrats Dunky. So proud.

Better than Jones and Smalling? yes l believe he is. Tarkowski though l think is better than all three.

Tarkowski was awful in his last England appearance and really didn’t deserve another call up, he looked well out of his depth. That and his nasty ‘revenge stamp’ (which will presumably go unpunished) will hopefully stall his England career for some time which will be good for the superior Dunk and his legion of eager followers including us!

This can't be true, surely James Tomkins is in front of Dunk for an England call up.

 

[Cozzy]

While he has not been as consistent and as stand out as last season Dunky deserves at least a call up as a squad player if not in the starting line up for England based on his form over the last 3 seasons , he has been a stand out performer and I am sure he will gain valuable experience and confidence just by being called up. In the end the whole team has been a little below par at times but we still have not been thrashed thanks to Dunk & Duffy putting in a shift every game and with international football usually slower in its build up I think it will suit Dunky even more.

“ .... Sky Sports News understands ...”? No, that doesn’t make it official. It means they’ve read it on the Mirror website. I think I’ll wait for an official announcement from the FA or the club, thanks.

I sssume that the Crawley and Palarse remarks were made tongue in cheek! but l agree, Dunky's performances thus far this season don't measure up to those of the last campaign.

In any case I am beginning to think that with Southgate's preference for youth, the likes of Wolves Conor Coady will get a call up ahead of Dunk. With one or two more young English centre backs coming to the fore now, unless Lewis ups his game, I can see him missing out.

****ing well deserved. A proper defender and a pretty good footballer with 200+ appearances for unfashionable BHA

Completely irrelevant given neither are anywhere near good enough and have never been.

Kayal though would walk (and run and run) in the current England team, just the type of player missing in the middle

Bruno at his peak could easily have played for England

That was only said in jest because you encourage my son with your views on Bruno and Bong as was demonstrated by him on Friday saying they were our 2 worst players..

As was my comment BG.

Nah, not true. Got nowhere near the Spanish team at any age group and had played the majority of his games in at least the level beneath the top one in both England and Spain. Yes he played for Valencia for THREE years but come on.
Guy is a legend, but to say he was international class is seriously exaggerating.
His career is fairly similar to Rosenier's actually. Both great players but very far from being internationals.

And well done Dunky- well deserved after last season.

Shame it’s not friendlies though as I doubt he’ll get any game time. Consider this a warning to nsc that he probably won’t play before the pissed off rants start during competitive England games.

I won't believe it until the FA have confirmed. I still remember Sky saying we had agreed a fee with Celtic for Dembele which turned out to be complete BS.

Not official yet so I can't get excited.....not that it excites me anyway, but it probably does him

 

[the right footed denilson]

Lol. He may not have made the Spain team but his technical ability would shit over any English right back.

It's about 'technical ability' though is it? Otherwise Darren Currie would have played for England.

That's the one. Thought we would have him on Jan 1

Confirmation imminent.

 

[Jam The Man]

Now confirmed on the FA website. Good stuff!
