Anya in next Scotland squad?

Someone posted a picture of themselves (via Spotted:Watford) on facebook with Gordon Strachan outside the vic at the bournemouth game. Can you bet on players being included in international squads?

 

Scotland were using our training ground at London Colney in prep for the match so would make sense

 

Strachan knows about Anya and has seen him play. Expect to see him in Scotland squad soon.

 

Nah. Strachan doesn't realise he's Scottish.

If he changed his name to McAnya, he'd be alright.

 

It wouldn't, as they're ten miles apart and Scotland being at LC doesn't explain why he's at the Vic!

 

I had a word with Gordon last week , Anya will be in the next squad. He didn't want to embarrass the England full backs by introducing a Championship wingback in a friendly match.

 

Anya is good for Watford, but not sure how he'd handle the step down to playing for Scotland.

 

Ketch isnae a proper caber ****** - Ryan Fraser is.

 

Would look silly in a kilt!

 

Looks pretty ****ing stupid at the best of times

 

Suit the Scotland system down to the ground. Forest on the right gives them loads of pace so Anya on the left will give them good balance.

It makes you wonder about their scouting system that he has slipped through their net so dar

 

in all honesty his career hadnt really merited international consideration, even for Scotland, until 2/3s through last season.

 

He has like 5 nationalities! I'd pick Nigeria or Romania over that tinpot team Scotland

 

I live in Glasgow and once I saw this thread I decided to ask people the question ''Anya for Scotland?'' I mainly got the reply ''Who?'' and a couple said he wasn't good enough but I don't think they've seen him play.

I don't think he'll be in Scotland squads for a wee bit longer if I'm honest and there certainly isn't any rumours of him being looked at for consideration.

 

Apparantly he doesn't qualify for Scotland until spent a drunken night sleeping in the doorway of a Pret a Manger in the West End.

 

Pret ? Surely thats far too posh.
More likely to be Chicken Cottage

 

He should play for Nigeria if given the opportunity because he will get to play in tournaments and have a realistic chance of winning something with them.

 

'Chicken Cottage' in Scotland is called 'Chicken Doorway'

Same thing

 

***ITK alert***

Wee Gordie has already been watching the wee lad Ikechi.

Was nt in the squad to face England because Strachan wanted to repay the players who d played for him so far by sticking with same squad.... but he will be featuring soon

 

Great news, fantastic for him!

 

So many stupid jock ***** on twitter going on about how he doesn't sound Scottish and all this bull****, they're lucky to even have a player as good as him, thick Scottish skirt wearing *****

 

I bet 3/4 of the 'Scottish sounding' names in their squad were born in England... what a bunch of muppets

Oh well, congrats to Ikechi of course, long overdue call up for him

 

Massive congratulations to Ikechi! A player that doesn't take anything for granted and will be so proud to wear the shirt. The good thing for Scotland fans is that he has been picked on his footballing ability and not his name.

 

Perhaps he should change his name to MacAnya!

 

itk

 

ITK indeed. Strachan pretty much said these exact words in an interview on SSN. Good work BRLR.

 

I was told that at the Reading game, pretty sure Strachan has not mentioned anything about Anya by then.

Either way, Im sure its not really important, I was being irreverent rather than especially serious about it.

Perhaps not take it so earnestly?

 

Just had a thought, there is always a slight chance that Anya will turn down the call if he's hankering for a call up from Nigeria, Romania or Lebanon instead. Always a chance...

 

What? I'm saying that you said it before Strachan. Sorry if it sounded sarky(sarcy?).

 

If he was called Makechi Anya it would hav been fine by the scots then ??

 

But Chris Iwelumo is fine a few years back then. They should be gracious he's eligible for them.
