CHELSEA AND ENGLAND SHOULD OPPOSE NIGERIA’S TAMMY ABRAHAM PURSUIT

The latest rumours circulating about a young Chelsea player d[/b]o not deal with transfers or loans but with national team allegiance. If Nigeria are truly chasing Tammy Abraham, both England and Chelsea should be furious.

Tammy Abraham’s decision to play for either England or Nigeria matters deeply not only to the country he chooses, but to Chelsea FC as well. Whether you approach the question from logic or emotion, you reach the same very certain and very firm conclusion: Tammy Abraham should turn down every single advance from Nigeria and stick with England.

The first and most obvious point is that Tammy Abraham – though of Nigerian heritage – was born in Camberwell, London. He was born and raised and reared in the United Kingdom. Yes, his parents are of Nigerian heritage. But at what point does that stop mattering? Every person in the world can trace their bloodline back to some far-flung destination, yet that does not determine their nationality.

Abraham was born in London. He has been at Chelsea since he was eight years old. He did not move to England as a young boy. Tammy Abraham was born the second of October 1997 in perfect damn London, England. He is a wonderful young footballer and a funny, charming young man. He does not need to be peddled by some older, cynical managers and footballing bureaucrats in a strategic chess game of prospect-catching.

The fact that Nigeria are even considering this is exactly what is wrong with international football in the first place. International football is not there to strategically pick your way to progress professionally, and it should not be about cynical attempts to further a brand. It is about pride in the country of your birth. Abraham is from England. Let him be from England.

It was wrong when Victor Moses changed nationalities, and when Diego Costa did it as well. This sort of behavior is to the detriment of the wonderful patriotic moments that make international football great.

If not simply for national pride, Chelsea should hope that Tammy Abraham plays for England for one simple reason: the African Cup of Nations. AFCON takes place in the middle of the Premier League season. If Tammy Abraham is going to be as good as people suspect he will be, then Chelsea need to keep him around.

RELATED STORY: Chelsea's Tammy Abraham must weigh depth, potential in Nigeria offer
Abraham draws comparisons to Ian Wright, and in younger age group trials outshone Kylian Mbappe. Abraham will make Harry Kane look like an incomplete and poor striker in a few years’ time, while taking a legitimate shot at Chelsea’s all-time goals record. The last thing Chelsea need is Abraham gone for a month and a half during a key part of the season.

AFCON is a wonderful footballing tournament played at a hysterically terrible time of year. In many ways it devalues some of the footballers in it, and makes it harder for some clubs to invest in them. Having Abraham play for Nigeria simply lowers his value for Chelsea FC. They will not have him around as often while he increases his risk of injury by playing in a full international tournament in less-than-spectacular conditions in the middle of a Premier League and Champions League season.

NEXT: Chelsea should start Tiemoue Bakayoko against Leicester as prep for Champions League
This move would not benefit anybody except the Nigerian Football Federation. Abraham is a phenomenal young player. He should be setting his sights high on success with the England national team – the country of his birth – not strategically trying to win caps playing for a country he has at most visited on emotional vacations.

please read this article and see that Barca were robbed just as much as Chelsea. One clear penalty call in the first leg and a dubious red card

You pointed out just two right..

I might as well point out over 5 of Chelsea.. So??

You ran away from the main issue though which is the H2H rule you brought into the picture

And BTW the infamous referee had this to say from your link

“I still get a few death threats but they go straight into the garbage box. I don’t take them seriously, although sometimes I wonder about the people who send them. Just yesterday I got an email from a Chelsea fan saying he wanted to kill me and my family. Everyone who knows the laws of the game knows I should have done things differently, but that’s the life of a referee.” – Tom Henning Ovrebo.

add pix so that i'll call lalasticlala and mynd44 to get the piece to the front page

Mickael2:
ok, watch that goal that Torres scored and tell me it has anything to do with the DMF. Watch the one Ramires scored and tell me the Dmf had any business there. The Dmf stops attacks coming from the midfield but the DMF can be bypassed by long balls which Chelsea implemented.

Wait sef it's not as if Chelsea schooled Barca. They almost always won on away goals rule and that apari even defeated Chelsea en route the treble in 2008 so I don't get your point

you said chelsea won them on away goals rule and i'll also like to remind you that in 2008 too it was on same rule but laced with controversies

ClassCaptain:
I will be back.

back from sambisa or back from where

till your wedding night

cromz:
remember we have many options at right back nura abuduliah,Tyrone ebuehi,Moses odubanjo, and so on I believe some of them will be tested and probably make the list.

shehu is a utility player and this option will take him to Russia

Rip

May God give the family the fortitude to bear the loss
