He'll have only been called up because he's getting attention in the media.
Southgate won't want him out there demonstrating that he's already better than Maguire.
I enjoy the ones where, like Niasse, there are big claims that slowly whittle down towards the truth, e.g. 'top scorer/player of the year' turns out to be a single player of the month award.

If we're talking young players who briefly looked the part (here or elsewhere) before amounting to very little, I'd go:
Wright
Gosling Godfrey Holgate Garbutt
Baxter Grant Hughes Oster
Jeffers Sandro
Subs: Simonsen, O'Kane, Baningime, Vlasic, Branch
I don't know why he hasn't looked to better himself at club level, but I'm glad of it.
He was the difference between us and the three teams that were relegated last season. They were all let down by poor goalkeepers.
Get a bandage around Patterson's head and call it gross misconduct.
No compensation due, though we'll decline to press charges as a gesture of goodwill...
...actually, scrap that last part. Let's press charges.
If most of the money from player sales ends up going towards running costs and debt servicing, we may have to just let him leave for nothing at the end of next season.
Beto's agent has stung two clubs in a row with 'buy now, pay later' deals. I can't see us finding a third dupe, and there's no...
So many opportunities to just accept our fate and move on, all squandered.
'An incredible moment of relegation.'
'But OK, that's relegation.'
'If I were a bloody foreigner, you'd be calling it el temporo setbacko.'
'Não falo inglês.'
'You'll be hearing from my lawyer.'
'Relegation for me is...
Yeah, he's done alright at times.
I think it was last season where he got destroyed by Mitoma at Goodison, but then bounced back and played him very well in the return fixture.
Only a one-off example, but it shows he's serious about getting better.
He's probably about as good as we could hope for at this stage, so yes.
Shame Dyche has another season's salary to be paid up (no idea why he was given such a long contract, considering the lack of interest in him), but at least Potter would come without compensation.
Some will claim it's...
At centre-back, where he was bought to play, Godfrey is worse than Holgate.
He's right up there with the Moshiri-era transfers that everybody laughs about.
I find it odd that he's stuck behind three of the worst right-back options in the league.
He's had a few very poor games in his time here, but the same could be said for virtually every player in the squad. None of the rest of them seem to be held to the same high standard, though.
It means he's got the safest job in football.
If the football's poor, it's about results.
If results are poor, it's because he has no money.
If money is spent, it doesn't count.
