Antonio there as well. Wonder if he fancies a season here getting paid nothing worth asking 

Thought he'd played for England? Did he just get called up and not get on?

Reggae Boyz!

Yeah…. Because otherwise we might get relegated this year

Great thanks for that.

we have a small squad and being selfish I dont want to lose him for games.

30-40 championship games is going to develop him a lot more than, 5 minutes against Trinidad and Tobago.

Withdraw

 

Club can't afford the risk

What risk?

There is absolutely nothing at stake for him at club level.  We are relegated whether he plays for us or not.

I've already asked my stepson! He'd already played for England but has Jamaican roots. He's not interested, sadly

Last time he was called up by Jamaica he chose to decline and played for the England U19s instead. I could be wrong but I don't think he's ever actually joined up with the Jamaica squad. His international status is still up for grabs so this could well be an attempt by Jamaica to get them to commit to their senior team.

Will be interesting to see if he accepts this one as he doesn't look to have been called up by England this time.

Good look

Good on him.

Should be great experience.

I can't believe Antonio is still playing.

I was a youngish man when he played for us, it's that long ago...

I don't think he's actually been announced in the squad before? He turned down a call before it was announced didn't he?

From what I can gather he was called up for the Jamaican squad for the game v USA in March 2024 but then was also called up for England u19s the day after. He chose England on that occasion. Whether he was actually announced as being called into the squad then I don't know.

The point is, this is the first time he's been called up without another option to prevent him going for Jamaica. I guess it depends on what his future on the England set up looks like.

From a selfish club point of view, playing for England is much less taxing on the individual in terms of travel etc, so hopefully he'll continue on that path for the time being.

Brilliant for the lad. 
 

on a side note Jamaica never ever miss with a kit, they design some proper shirts. 

Brilliant...chuffed for the lad 

Brilliant for free sock tape…

Blinder - well done Cadz.
