Apparently friendlies no longer count for the purposes of finalising your footballing nationality... it's all about competitive matches... you learn something new every day.

Didn't realise this until today. It sounds like Hodgson just fancies taking a look at him first hand.

I do also think it is a good chance to 'persuade' Zaha and Jenkinson of the great opportunity to play for England as well. It would feel a bit odd to play an international game for one country, albeit a friendly, only to turn around and then go play somewhere else. Don't think it has ever happened with England at full international level.

Good point. They did the same with Sterling who is also eligible to play for Jamaica as he was born there. We have some very good, young, English players at the moment who are actually comfortable in possession. Here's hopping we have the right manager(s) place over the next ten years or so to get the best out of them.
Have to say I wish Zaha all the best. Seems fairly level headed and looks to be a magnificent talent. Same goes for Sterling (if he can keep his cock in his pants)
Provided they get their heads right tactically they could be amazing for England
If he is that good why has he not been snapped up at a younger age?.
Why was wright not snapped up?
Some players get missed that's all.
Zaha will move if Palace accept an offer that is on the table already from a fairly well off premier league side... Not the richest but well off none the less.

Arsenal bound I reckon.
Also helps we can close the door on the Ivory Coast getting him if he gets a couple of minutes on Wednesday (and for Sterling read Jamaica!)
His brothers girlfriend works for me.
I'm guessing those 3 are all in the squad to prevent them from playing for another country.
