Irish Abroad 2013/2014

He's a super player but I wouldn't have thought he'd interest Arsenal. Technically very good but very raw too, decision-making isn't great at times although I'm not sure where his final position will be. I think first team football is really helping him and you'd be worried about him getting lost in reserve team football.

Anyone know much about Justin Merz?: http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/justin-merz/leistungsdaten/spieler/172652

He was born in Germany and plays with Karlsruher SC II, but is eligible to play for us and recently played for our under-21s. How does he qualify? Irish mother, I assume?
