Turkish Posted 21 August, 2014 Share Posted 21 August, 2014 Feyenoord fans must be furious that he never got a sniff of an international call up when he played for them but goes to a premier league club and he's straight in the Italy squad.

van Hanegem Posted 21 August, 2014 Share Posted 21 August, 2014 Feyenoord fans must be furious that he never got a sniff of an international call up when he played for them but goes to a premier league club and he's straight in the Italy squad. Can't speak for all the Feyenoord fans but I don't think so. We're not that interested in national teams, it's all about Feyenoord... We know that the Eredivisie is much lower rated than the PL but I don't believe that this is the reason that Pelle wasn't invited thus far. I guess it's because Italy doesn't have much central attackers beside that clown Balotelli as we could see in the WC in Brazil so why not try Pelle just to see if he really got better after some bad years in Italy?

Ah fair play then mate. You're a better lot than many of of our whinging saps who would be sulking and crying and going on about how the whole world hates us if our former 29 year old striker had not had a sniff of international football until one game after he left.

farawaysaint Posted 22 August, 2014 Share Posted 22 August, 2014 (edited) This could be a bad thing for us, I wonder how much of the transfer fee was pegged on a call up to the Italian national team? Edited 22 August, 2014 by farawaysaint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worth noting they have a new manager at the helm so probably, I would hope, more to do with it than his solitary appearance in the premier league.

Aziz Yebda Posted 22 August, 2014 Share Posted 22 August, 2014 He didn't score 3 goals in 1 game. Therefore he is rubbish, until he proves me wrong and then he is the best player ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't keep it down - perhaps should have done better with it. Edited 22 August, 2014 by shurlock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidney Fudpucker the 3rd Posted 22 August, 2014 Share Posted 22 August, 2014 I'd like to see him show some of the form that's got him an international call up. All I've seen is a player who doesn't look anything special at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
