Is this some kind of wind up?

What the bloody hell is going on? An U21 call up i could perhaps understand, but the senior squad? Never seen him play, but surely if he was this good Norwich (who narrowly avoided relegation) would surely have had him at first choice.

Still, if it's a choice between this lad or the 2 former L**ds scum keepers Robinson and Carson i'd go for a non scummer any day. I admit that i strugle to support England when any scum related players are playing for them.

Its amazing and unheard of int it but i think its very good of cappello, it gives hope to anyone playing in the lower divisions.

I think he was impressed with him whilst he was playing for the U21's against wales, so good on the lad n great for lower league football.

He's only been called up to make up the numbers for training, as he's already with the U21s and the other English keepers are off on holiday - for example Rob Green is climbing a mountain somewhere for charity, and is therefore unavailable. Plus, Norwich fans were furious that he was sold, and he's attracting interest from Premiership clubs.

Didn't he cost £400k? Realistically he is clearly not a 4th division standard player despite playing for a 4th division (now 3rd) team.
