TheSuperNerd:
And Tammy because of Pinnick... Don't you think so? It is no lies or jokes that Pinnick is a close family friend of Tammy's Dad.


Talking about assurance... Victor Moses who Tammy rates and respects at Chelsea called into that meeting between Pinnick and the Abraham family and spoke of how eager they wanna see him in Nigeria's colors... urging him to fly with the Eagles and not choose to hunt with the Lions.

And if England rate Tammy that much, they would give him a call-up at least... Right now na Rashford dey take all the spotlight because he is fully English but Tammy is Anglo-Nigerian... England don't wanna and will never rate Tammy over Rashford and we know why. Tammy does not have a career with England... Nigeria is the best for him.

I wish he play for Nigeria coz we need him than England.

All this could have been avoided had Pinnick shut his mouth and carry on his job codedly without making noise about it or putting the young lad in a tight corner. As it stands right now, we can lose this lad due to carelessness just because some idiot wanted to win some cheap points.

Joebie:
foreign-borns or foreign-breds don't get a free pass. They still have to face the competition in the SE.
it's not a sin to get them to choose Nigeria. But playing for Nigeria now and in the long run, they have to earn it. No one is giving them a free pass.

You earn the right to the SE by putting in top class consistent performances week in week out. That impression is further cemented by playing in a quality team in a even top quality league.

I think, this should have been done in private. All the pictures released by Pinnick was to score political points.

Don't be surprised if he gets an England call-up soon.

Exactly.... thank you. Let Skysports show us a quote from Tammy himself.... they will do anyting to spread falsehood or half-truths to buy themselves some leverage. The English media ehn.... bunch of wankers

Kog45:

No! We don't need him. Actually he needs us more. Because we're fully covered right left and centre taking a look at the position he plays. So should we lose him, to me it's no big deal.

TheSuperNerd:

They are placing pressure on the boy. I would not be surprised if he made that statement.

Sure Pinnick blew it up a bit.... but Tammy will be silly to choose England now when we all know any call-up by them is plain reactionary and "Agbonlahorish"

Tammy should be wise.

no jst mind am, nah alomo bitter dey wire am, abi nah today him no say skysporf no dey straight??

Exactly... pressure. And yes he can make the statement on being available but he never outrightly stated where his future allegiance lie. I also won't be surprised skysports added onions and spices to the story.

But I also saw a post about Swansea coach saying he want him to play for England and also he said tammy has never mentioned his discussion of switching to him before... But he can just talk to him but he can't influence him to choose England

Just saw this few seconds ago too.... no where has he said he won't play for Nigeria. See? This is just a smart move by him and he is also wisely using his Dad's close family friendship with Pinnick as alibi for the visit.

Lad knows what is at stake now... England will immediately start making things hellish for his young career at Swansea... like you said earlier, "the pressure".. but He knows what he wants and I hope he avoids the agbonlahorish syndrome.

@bolded That's a good standard. But it's not true with the SE today or before, even with the Nigeria-bred players.

Na AmajuPinnick dey cause all this... Do your underground work then announce... They are alot of pressure on this lad right now...

PR runs na.. just like how they deal with transfer rumors.. Pinnick should not be staring all this.

Same way Wenger wanted Iwobi to play for England. It is the same old scenario playing out again. Tammy is just being bombarded right now because of that meeting with Pinnick and he has to use the alibi of Pinnick being a family friend to quell talks of his switch...

Remember Pinnick says The family has the forms with them to begin the process now.. so let us wait because this will be quite another long ride.

And yeah.. Paul Clement cannot make Tammy choose England eventually. Choice is Tammy's and I hope he ignores the other voices and listens to his own.

Niger can really beat Ghana. They have the better coach and that counts for much in this tournament.

u mean say only u no fit defend firstlady?
make u call us come chop too oh when that time reach oh.. hahaha

Anyways there is no cause for alarm. He is available for selection, in that he has not been capped yet by Nigeria. That's a clever answer.
Abi no be Tammy issue we dey?

Stuffs like this should be done under the radar .... you don't announce or advertise anything until well after the deed is done.
Well, now the boy has all but pledged allegiance to the 3 Lions. And I think we should just ignore him. Let's see how far he would go with England.

Clement is English. And he said his opinion is simply because he is English. Although he is saying the boy will make his own decision but as the coach of Swansea he don INDIRECTLY put pressure on the boy by even commenting on the matter like that.

His antics will not work.
However, Pinnick need to improve on this aspect going forward. If I were him, I will say we are making a move on Tammy, when the matter don already reach FIFA hand. Stay ahead of your competition.

Sure and AmajuPinnick should stopped all this politics right away so that it won't affect the boy career...

Those photos released by the NFF twitter handle of Pinnick and Tammy and another of Pinnick, Tammy, Timmy and the dad were always gonna go viral....

It was only a matter of time before the English FA and media came down hard to get out of Tammy a recommitment to the Three Lions badge not because they have plans for him but bcoa they are acting like Vultures hoarding players they know they won't use just to keep them off Nigeria's grasp.


CIV and Senegal no dey get problems with players switching to them from France... but with England our case is always different. Na wa.... it is always war. Bunch of wankers the English media and FA are honestly....

Tammy and he family don already collect form when dem dey fill. Leave them in suspense my beloved Tega..That's how we do it during the transfer window.

Pinnick learn a thing or two from this.

The matter too will reach English FA too before it will reach FIFA they can frustrate the move... Clement doesn't want to lose his job... He said there are alot of pressing order and also acknowledge the talent of Tammy... He should not be distracted right now.. And focus on his game...

who are these people? No Sakala and no Mwepu? Dies this Zambian coach really think he can go about tweaking his list randomly?

I just tire for everything.... this is the only player Pinnick has sounded very confident of bagging for us with that loud mouth of his... lolll.. he hardly spoke about the rest... yet under him, Iwobi and Aina have joined....

....But on Tammy.. chaaaiiiiii... Pinnick went as far as indirectly taunting the English sef... loolll... words like, "Listen, I know his father and Tammy is like my son so I have no worries over his willingness to play for us over England".... chaaaiiiiii... words like that dey bite for ear... lol

His politicking style has worked some good (Iwobi, Aina, CAF Elections, Aiteo, etc) but I pray it won't work some bad eventually in this case of Tammy.

Osas has being our weak link right from the sierra leone match. He got skinned hands down. He's only good going forward.

He is not a strong man in defence but overlaps really well.
