johnyb Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Perhaps it's the Conspiracy Theorist in me but there is a small voice in my head that's saying Cristante was called because of his "options". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in the overall perspective of a football career. ...We all know Jonathan has had the better career, not diminishing or taking away anything that JuDG has accomplished.

If he plays whatever lock this up and if he doesn't then this talk and watch will continue. This is the one thing that slightly gives me hope, if he doesn't get cap tied this weekend it might be a while until he's called again. I doubt he'll want to play for us any time soon since he got this call up though. Ah well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cristante has just had an amazing start to this season, tied in with the injuries. Just bad timing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So even with the form he was in, 3 players were ahead of him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been scoring almost every 2 weeks this year and against Napoli, Everton and Juventus. Scored against Napoli August 27th, then against Everton September 14th, and finally against Juventus October 1st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matty Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 For what it's worth, if he gets captied today I don't think anyone can/should blame the csa for not trying or label cristante for being a tease of some kind. They did what they could and he wasn't (plus he's likely a v ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obinna Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 I do wonder if this was a cap for the sake of tying him. Doesn't take away from the accomplishment, but you must always wonder when it comes to a dual national being courted by another country. We did this with Aleman in 2013.
