Cats star Ferdinand targets national team call
ANTON Ferdinand believes inconsistency rather than Fabio Capello's lack of presence in the North East is the biggest obstacle he needs to clear if he is to achieve his aim of an England call-up within two seasons.
Tipped as one of the country's brightest defensive prospects after making his Premier League debut as a teenager at West Ham, Ferdinand believes that his summer move to Sunderland can revive international claims that have receded as his form tailed off over recent seasons.
And while the defender insists his priority is maintaining an encouraging start for the Black Cats, watching his brother Rio captain England in a competitive match for the first time has strengthened his international aspirations.
