[Albion] Debate: If Trossard was English, would Southgate call him up?

[Stat Brother]

There isn't a single player in the Albion side that GS would pick if they were English because they play for us. Bissouma wouldn't even get a look in, which is mental.

I can't help thinking if/when Biss goes to a Champions League side, he is going to wow the pundits.

'He's so good now he's a x club'.

As opposed to the actual truth

'Biss being Biss'.

No - but then he’d be up against some very good players, who IMO are better than him.

You don't think Kevin De Bruyne, Dries Mertens, Youri Tielemens, Eden Hazard, Thorgan Hazard, Yannick Carrasco are 'very good players'?

There's a reason Belgium are ranked #1 in the world.

Yes but they fit in the same system, not specifically the same position.

The discussion is more about strength in depth.

I accept that there is an argument about player flexibility, but on that basis, Trossard would be even further away from an England call up.
