There's a peice in this months FourFourTwo on youth development where one coach at the FA youth cup final bemoans the lack of English talent coming through citing the best prospects on view as some Swedish kid and Manchester Uniteds Chris Fagan from Dublin!!!
Watching Fagan in those games, he really struck me as having a calmness and assurance about him, that the other young lads didn't have. I think he could have a good future in the game...but its really hard to see how he'll make it at United.
He reminded me a bit of Frank Stapleton.
Unless their a freakish talent like a wayne rooney or joe cole, you simply just cant make steadfast predictions on players of that age. The examples of steven foley at villa, michael foley at liverpool and graham barrett at arsenal are proof of this
Best of luck to the lad all the same

Harps were winning 3-0 and put out 7 U21s at h/t so it was difficult to judge
players but O Carroll and O Brien were subbed.
Scottish Premier
Hearts 0-1 Hibernian
Hibernian's Irish Players: Alan O'Brien(introduced on 56)
Whoops , sorry mods should have put above entry in preseason friendly thread.

Charlton's squad numbers for the new season.
6 Patrick McCARTHY
7 Andy REID
8 Matt HOLLAND
28 Harry ARTER
30 Darren RANDOLPH (gk)
31 Rob ELLIOT (gk)
At 17, Arter is the youngest player in the squad.
Quote:
Alongside Josh Wright and Rashid Yussuff, Arter completed an unprecedented trio of schoolboys to represent the club at U16, U18 and reserve-team level in the same season during 2005/06.
A tough, uncompromising midfielder with a terrific engine, Arter is perhaps unique in that he blends his tremendous physical attributes with fine technical skills.
An ability to pick a pass and unearth a goal or two are more strings to Arter's bow, and it was these qualities that saw the promising youngster shift effortlessly through the club's ranks.
A Republic of Ireland U16 international, the former St Simon Stock Catholic School pupil, in Maidstone, made his U18 debut in December 2005, and he delivered such a gutsy display in a 2-1 defeat against Arsenal that he was handed a starting place in Charlton's opening FA Youth Cup clash at Walsall 10 days later.
Another tigerish performance in the 2-1 victory at the Bescot Stadium sealed Arter's involvement in the next two youth cup outings.
And the youngster was desperately unfortunate that his effervescent display against Manchester United in the fifth round in early February was tarnished by his freakish own goal that sealed a 2-1 win for the young Red Devils at Old Trafford.
As the brother-in-law to highly-rated former Addicks midfielder and England international Scott Parker, Arter may often be unfairly compared to his elder relative, particularly given his current age.
But with many similarities between the players, especially the tough-tackling style, Arter doesn't have to look very far to see what could be possible in the future if he continues his current progression.

Interesting read. Never heard of him til now.
The problem is we're losing a lot of these dual nationality kids to the dark side these days.
Tets, if you don't mind I added a link to your site and the wetpaint site to the OP. Anyone and everyone can edit that wetpaint site. It was my idea to include all things Irish football in there but I can't do it all by myself. I'll see how it goes for a few months. If there's little to no interest in it then I'll scrap it. As I said in the OP, I'm not scrapping it yet after the work I put in. ;)
no problem, I've made a few (very few) contributions to the wetpaint site myselfQuote:
