    What's the latest on this lad? Was his last international appearance with ourselves? I know he was born here but not sure how long he stayed here. That seems to have been a big factor for, for instance, Shodipo.

    This has a little interview with him which seems to be positive for us. A lad jack Nolan from reading played for our 16s last season and turned out for Brit's 17s recently so there is a bit of swinging that goes on. Still u have to play the game to grab the occasional Liam Kelly Conor Roman and Deccan rice. But u get burned obviously as well with the likes of grealish Michael Keane gooch at sunderland mcguane at arsenal and Kyle Scott at Chelsea all excellent players who we played at young age groups but didn't stick with us long term. Always makes me laugh when lads on ybig say the fai have no idea about lads in England who qualify for us cause it's plainly not true when u see our young age groups.

    I get the feeling Okoflex never turns down a chance for publicity. Which leads me to think he might be more of the Grealish mind.

    Ah Charles he is only 15 I wouldn't judge him too harshly. His age group for us means I think he will be in our 17s when we stage the 17s Euro finals here which we won't have to qualify for which might be a big incentive to lock in with us. I miss jack grealish

    Haha, maybe I should have phrased it more that both he and Grealish have dads who seem to crave publicity

    Bad things happen to players who decline the option to declare or be called up for Ireland, Hogan made a wise choice.

    I find the whole theory that he was waiting for England to be very flawed. Ok, he hasn't enjoyed a bright start to his career at Villa but he has plenty time to wait for England if he wanted to. He's often compared to Jamie Vardy for his career trajectory. Vardy was 28 when he earned his first England cap. There's also 31 year-old Rickie Lambert who also spent a lot of time down the leagues.

    I'm quite disappointed with Kilbane on this one. He said he needed to wait to overcome fitness issues. He has done so and is committed to us now. Waiting for fitness takes less time than waiting for an England call.

    Good to see his speaking about how his dad is proud. Not sure if his father is Irish-born but I haven't heard before that he is. Probably just a proud member of the second generation Irish community in Salford along with the Grealishes and the Crowleys a bit further away in Coventry.

    Daniel Crowley. Now there's a man who you could question the motives of if you were Kevin Kilbane and the lad does opt to play for us down the line.

    I agree with you in one sense but what was the alternative? Announce in public that he's declaring for Ireland and he'll play once he feels his body is ready for the extra load? Imagine the pressure that would have brought. Any time we were short a striker his name would have been brought up. I think it was handled the right way and I think the players will welcome him. He's mates with John Egan and hopefully he'll have bonded with Hourihane, in particular, and Whelan.

    From Villaunderground:

    "A really good display from Hogan, who ran himself into the ground across both halves. His reward was two deserved goals. The first a sliding finish, the second, a superb spin and strike beyond the keeper. As is often remarked, his movement is good, but he can sometimes be guilty (like many) of over-running the ball. With that said, a constant runner and never gave the defence a moments peace."

    At this point, should Hogan have his own thread, or were we all so traumatised by the Jack Grealish affair that we daren't assume that Hogan won't also do an about-face, until he makes his competitive debut in green?

    Was thinking the same. He's surely more than 'potentially eligible' at this stage anyway. And sure, he can always be banished to World Football if things go horribly wrong.
