Believe he has got his first call up to the full Germany squad to be announced along with Kevin. 2 squads chosen for 4 matches

Thoroughly deserved, if so!

Bravo.

 

[Untouchable]

He’s in the squad

Congratulations Vita!

 

[North London Bee]

Wow, so well deserved the pair of them

 

[Leedsbee]

Congrats both, shame they're not in the same squads.

 

[Friji]

Congrats Janelt, my player of the season so far.

Interesting to see El Mala there, wonder if they called up his brother too..

 

[badgerbee]

He came from Germany!!
And plays for Germany!!

 

[jlove]

I really, really hope he gets time on the pitch in one of those games so he can 'win the shirt'.

 

[Terrace Weeding]

Congrats Janelt, my player of the season so far.

Interesting to see El Mala there, wonder if they called up his brother too..

Vita can tell El Mala all about his journey with us and how he would thrive with the Bees.

Great news! Wonder whatever happened with playing for Bosnia? Didn’t he get citizenship in order to be eligible for them?

I believe his request was rejected, as he was claiming eligibility by marriage which is, um, not how it works.

Glad for him that Germany have finally stopped overlooking him! Hope he can stake a real claim

 

[Mr Tree]

Congrats both, shame they're not in the same squads.

Ah but nice in a way that they'll both get a bit of a break, too. Interesting approach from Kloppy.

 

[North London Bee]

Lets get Vitaly capped, then Kayode and KLP and we can field a full team of internationals. I know that we could have Rico or Diouf instead of KLP but I am being a purist!

KLP is no worse than a few of the England squad

 

[Windmill Rd Bee]

KLP is no worse than a few of the England squad

I love KLP but sorry, I would rather have Nico O’Riley or Lewis Hall at LB. In the case of the latter I’d say it’s not even close.

 

[I'll Bee Damned]

Fantastic honour for Vitaly, delighted for him and Kevin with his reinclusion

 

[Oldboy TW8 0AW]

Well done Vitaly and Kevin ️

 

[JANORAK]

With 45 called up, their mother only missed out by a whisker or two…

 

[petsknee]

Well done Klopp for finally seeing what we've known all along. Vitaly is a world class player and this is a well deserved honour. I feel like a proud father, well done!!

 

[aawharris]

I thought he was Bosnian?

 

[Mr Tree]

I thought he was Bosnian?

Without wading through loads of foreign nonsense... AI says, he married a Bosnian chick, thought it unlikely he'd get a German call-up so tried via Bosnia, who were keen enough to grant him citizenship. However, he played for Germany u21, so FIFA didn't allow him to switch.

 

[djheavens]

Vitaly - £350,000 Euros wasn’t it? One of the best signings ever made without doubt.

I think it seems to be something to do with being capped by Germany at youth level before he got his Bosnian citizenship although with a name like Vitaly id have thought he'd have grandparents atleast who weren't from Germany but probably not Bosnia

I would hazard a guess that he's of Polish German descent.

**would have thrived

He has brothers called Vincent and Victor, so I think his parents just liked the letter V.

 

[Les Beeavinu]

I think you're a German speaker - isn't the letter V a notoriously difficult letter for Germans to pronounce?

 

[To Bee Someone]

Well deserved and long overdue. Klopp knows his saurkraut

 

[hobbsy]

I think you're a German speaker - isn't the letter V a notoriously difficult letter for Germans to pronounce?

It's pronounced more like an English f.

 

[twickersbee]

Absolutely delighted for him

 

[heebeegeebee]

It's pronounced more like an English f.

I don't vucking think it is.

Vee haff vays off teaching our vootballers how to speak der proper Inglish, innit.

Didn't see the game Saturday but thought he was excellent against Rennes. Was only thinking the other day whether he would be on Klopps radar but realised sadly that boat has sailed but surely must be in line for a Bosnian call up if that's possible.

His words need to change.

Instead of singing, he came from Germany. Has to be, he plays for Germany

 

[Isleworth_Bee]

Deserved.

 

[kenbee]

The midfielder's midfielder.

 

[BmthBee]

Really pleased for him has been at the heart of everything that's good about us, probably the best pound for pound signing we ever made
