    It's situations like this that make the ability of a country to "claim" a player seem like horseshit!

    He's eligible for others, but chose them, they then play him once and shelve him. But, they still retain the ability to punish clubs if the players don't attend at their beck and call... It's nonsense!

    Not in favour of players chopping and changing, but if a player only has a handful of caps (say maybe less than 5) they should be able to switch, even if only once, if it's in their obvious interest. Not saying any player would ever do it, but they should be able to...

    Absolutely ridiculous decision.

    Feel for him, there's literally nothing more he could have done this season to get in that squad, domestically and in Europe he was the standout.

    Shocking decision. Guy was on fire. It’s clear the likes of atlethico Madrid etc don’t give a * about the league he plays in and can see a quality player

    Good and bad for us, good he is not going to be playing this summer.

    Bad, does he think that by moving to a so called bigger league will get him more caps.

    He was going anyway, bad because I think it could affect his value.

    Did Postecoglou not come out with similar tripe regarding Rogic? National team managers do have an air of superiority about them no matter who they are. Personally I think it’s almost a bit of wee man syndrome because any manager worth their salt certainly ain’t managing a national team. Oftentimes national teams have washed up managers with archaic tactical beliefs.

    You don’t tend to get the same level of disrespect from club team managers - you don’t see Ancelotti, Simeone, Slot etc slating us over the last few years in the CL. Usually the opposite.

    All their fans raging as well he’s not been picked, to be honest he’s earned a good break and he was gonna leave not matter just maybe a bit sooner now.

    They qualified without him and have a strong squad. He's young and no doubt when he moves on he will be a regular.

    Yeah generally the best managers aren't doing national teams anymore, the money is far better elsewhere. You might find the odd one who fancies it as a civic duty for a few years but that's it.

    Him not getting selected guaranteed the end to his Celtic career. Would go anyway most likely

    Just read their Facebook pages and the danish are raging at this. Similar language to mine.

    Transfermarkt player values are always some * laugh, they have no basis in reality.

    I don’t see it affecting his value, especially in England.

    He’s homegrown so that itself really high.

    I mean he could have had a brilliant euros but glad he’s not going in a way hope he is with us next season.

    Right, so Ryan Kent was worth more than Edouard and a full £4.5 million more than Jota? And Elyounousi was worth more than CCV is?! :97:

    I think we've found the people who were running our scouting department last summer.
