Says African players should have to play for African teams so that African teams can potentially win a World Cup. France won a World Cup with mostly players of African descent but someone forgot to tell him that International football is based on NATIONALITY and not ETHNICITY. Those African-French players were born in France (most of them) and are French citizens. They chose to represent their country of birth and not their parents' country of birth.

Jose is an odd bird but he’s awesome for the game. He is also convinced that he needs an African #9 on his teams and went out and got Tammy Abraham for his Roma team. Except Tammy is English not African.
