18-year-old Manchester United loanee has just put Graham Kavanagh's Carlisle 2-1 at Coventry (well, Northampton), having replaced his U19 team mate Michael Drennan.
Goal at 1:40 here - nice control and tidy finish.
Great finish. That poise augurs well for the future. He hasn't even started a game yet and he has already scored.
Drennan has yet to score in 6 games though.
Scored our two goals v Romania.
Man Utd tweeted their approval
Supposedly his cousin is David of Talking Heads. Take that, Morrissey.

I doubt that, but his brother Adam plays rugby for Leinster and is in the Irish U20 team that will take on Italy tonight.
I actually suspected he might be related to Nicky of Westlife!Originally Posted by Crosby87

Sam probably has a much better singing voice though
Aul Nicky was a pretty handy footballer though by all accounts too... trials at Leeds I think.

Goalkeeper at leeds if memory serves me correct
Played underage internationals with a few of our snr internationals on the ireland side at underage level
Still doesnt make him good singer though
That's disappointing. Hopefully he can find a new club at a good level and rebuild.
He's destined for Stevenage if rumors are correct.

Bad week for the Byrne's family as Adam is injured and misses the U20 RWC. Sam has a bit of potential, reckon he might be one for the future. Experience at the lower levels now will help him develop possibly quicker than hanging around Utd's reserves.
Claims on here that Byrne has signed for Everton. Nothing official, but hopefully there is some truth to the rumours!

Some of the people in that thread are dangerously stupid.

More on the unconfirmed rumours linking Byrne to Everton's academy team.

Everton recruit Sam Byrne; Harry Charsley signs his first professional contract.
Excellent move. If you look at it in the context of the league standings, he's moved to a better side! Very positive to see him going to Everton rather than Stevenage or Carlisle, at the age of 18 anyway. He'll be exposed to better coaching at Everton and if things don't work out he'll have a longer slide down the leagues as opposed to having to push up the leagues if he had gone to Stevenage or Carlisle.
EDIT: Things might not have been as dour as the earlier Carlisle and Stevenage rumours after all; this article reckons Celtic were interested also- http://www.independent.ie/sport/socc...-30313693.html

How did we miss out on a lad called Jonjoe Kenny?
DID YOU NOTICE A SIGN OUTSIDE MY HOUSE...?
