    Interestingly, while looking through the Burnley squads I noticed a player for their development squad called Khius Metz who is noted as Irish. A little bit more sleuthing and it appears he is a striker who has been capped for us at U17 and U19 level (Sept 2015). Anyone know anything about him as a prospect outside of that and the connection to Ireland? Maybe ill also post this to the other thread...
    Apparently, he's really, REALLY fast. According to Burnley's website he "smashed Darren Campbell’s 20-year school record in the 200 metre sprint! His pace has helped the forward chip in with goals for the youth team, even notching twice for the Development Squad." It also says that he's been offered new terms for 2016/17.

      NEWS: Grant, Baird, Johnson, Hendrick, Weimann, Bent, Camara & Blackman are all playing in a friendly Vs Barnsley today.

      Update: Hendrick and Johnson have been substituted at half-time, suggests he'll have some part to play on Saturday.

        Yeah, I saw that alright. Good sign. Theres also another player Aiden O'Neill that was offered a new contract. He was born in Oz but, with that name, surely someone for the FAI to look into?
        I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.

          I remember we also had a super speed king in Alan O'Brien who played for Newcastle back in the day. The trouble is he seldom had the ball with him. Fingers crossed for the latest Usain Bolt

            Dale Stephens given 3 game ban, promoting Sidwell to the starting XI for Brighton and Richie Towell favourite to make the bench. Only 1 injury away....

              It'd be quite cool if the bargain LOI buy won them the £100mm prize.

                No it wouldn't

                I hate this £100 million tag much flaunted by Sky as well ("the richest game in football"). Tell Bolton, Blackpool and a host of others about it. Most clubs when they go up spend a fortune to try and stay there and when the trap door opens, they find themselves deep in debt despite the "parachute" payments.
