COLEMAN CONFIRMS BEN TURNER INTEREST

Chris Coleman has apparently confirmed his interest in making City's Ben Turner a Welsh international defender. As many are aware, he can qualify to play thanks to a Welsh grandparent.

"I was interested to see how he went against Luis Suarez on Sunday, he's a very tricky customer. But he was outstanding, one of the best players on the pitch," said Coleman. "We know he can head the ball and is a strong boy, but in international football you get players coming off you, into little pockets. You have to have your wits about you.

"I thought he was outstanding. Even before that game we had talked about him. Can he expect a phone call? Yes, he can."

Everyone watching Sunday's final (I'm still trying to recover my voice from Wembley) has agreed that Turner was fantastic. He really did tell Carroll and Suarez where to put their so-called 'talent'.

He deserves a chance

Ben Turner is a very good defender but he should never play for Wales (same for likes of Ashley Williams). Simple reason the grandparents law should be taken away.

darcy Blake must hate Ben, he ll probably have his girlfriend next
hes a great player and future Cardiff city captain but agree with Gareth he should not be eligible

Would be a great addition to the team

Agree with you 2blue

me too

If they have welsh in them then fine.

The residence rule is a no no

Turner is more Welsh than Earnie....!!

Let them all play, if the rules allow it.

he would be a great asset to wales and would be a welcome addition to the team. he has shown against quality opposition he can more than hold his own and at an age where he can only get better.
turner and blake can be our new centre back partnership for the next decade

turner has a welsh parent, has he?

Shocked England aren't trying to force him into the England squad given his age and the way he played on Sunday.

Olympics surely

Get Ben Turner capped for Wales ASAP and tie him down to the country! We need all the good players we can get. He was was one of our best players on Sunday, if not the best! He's still young and he's only going to get better as he gains more experience.

If him and Huds are fit for the rest of the season, then opposition teams will find it hard against those 2

Also Finley at Blackburn

Unfortunately, with Wales being such a small nation, we have to take advantage of these rules.

turner has a welsh parent, has he?

Turner has a Welsh Grandmother....Earnie has lived here since he was 4. English and Zambian parents I believe.

Let them all play.
