Chuba - England Call Up?

Not a chance.
It's not the England way to call-up second tier players.
Especially when we have a lot of quality attacking players in the top flight.
Kalvin Phillips was called up after Leeds were promoted, and it was in a position we were short in.

He'll probably get a Nigeria call-up though, and he'll be happy to play for them, he's made no secret about his pride in his heritage.

Judging by the responses then, I might be getting carried away after a sublime win last night :ROFLMAO:

Only a question that I put to the board, don't take life too seriously lads.

It is rare, but it has happened. Chuba will be well known to the England hierarchy as he6 or 7 years ago he was touted as the next big thing and had been around the England youth setup for 5 years at that point.

I don't think it will happen, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's been talked about. I mean apart from Kane and Toney, there aren't any prem strikers pulling up trees. The only others are Wilson on 7 goals and Ings and Watkins on 6 (I'll Ignore Rashford as he's predominantly a wide player for England), but none of those have done anything for England, and they're not as technical as Chuba, he's a different type of striker.

Who was the last Championship player - Nuge?
 
Steve Bull - was still technically a Third Division player when he won his first cap, at the end of the 1988–89 season, as Wolves had not yet played in Division Two after their promotion that season. He remains the last player to be capped by England from outside the top two tiers, and one of only five post-war players so honoured.

I stand corrected on Bull. Although he did play as a tier two player as well.
 
Chuba getting an England call up? He could get a No.10, or even a Buckingham Palace, call up from me at the moment.:cool::love:

Stephen Pears would also have made this list but for a training game on Saltburn (or was it Redcar) beach and the resulting injury which forced him to withdraw from squad.

Jay Bothroyd - I'd forgotten about that (just how bad were England!). There is hope for anyone so dont rule Chuba out yet:ROFLMAO:
