Was there talk about him on here before that he might be eligible? As I was drinking my coffee at the weekend, hitting refresh on BBC score updates ;) I saw his name flash up and thought to myself "I think he might be one of ours" but then very quickly said "shut up Stu, you're making sh!t up again".Quote:

Anybody know if either eligible for us?
Doyle's grandfather was English born and play for Man City so even if an Irish connection exists it is not close enough to be derived from the surname.Quote:

Ah, cool, thanks. 100% correct. No idea so!Quote:

Would like it to be McAteer at Leicester.Quote:

It'll probably be Marcus Harness paperwork finally arriving.
Patrick Roberts qualifies. 26 now with a huge England underage past. Lynden Gooch mentioned. Cirkin and Delap mentioned although not wingers.
Tenner on Roberts says I.
Jack McGlynn was one we thought we were after for a while. He was in USA U23 team last week as they started their Olympics 2024 prep.... we aint getting him

Does McAteer have any connections other than a famous name?
Roberts was once a fantastic prospect on loan at Celtic, but at 26 hes become pretty ordinary.
Kenny likes to play players out of position so a winger from his words could be Delap or Cirkin
No idea on Kasey McAteer other than he is called Kasey McAteer.
Roberts WiKi seems to have gotten a coat of green paint recently. To make it stink a bit less if its him maybe.
We'll soon see.
I cant see any way it is Delap. He is a regular with the Three Lions U21 team. He aint giving up that gravy train until he has to.
Does Roberts actually qualify? Had a good loan spell at Celtic between 19-21 but after that it's been a big bag of meh. How he managed to stay on the books at Man City a week shy of his 25 birthday is a mystery.
Does Jack Clarke qualify?
His Wikipedia suggests he ( Roberts ) does.Quote:

His agent is Ian Harte. Who knows...Quote:

McAteer making his debut against the Dutch?
That'll scare the ****e out of them anyway :)
He wont know how we play so might be ready for 2026 qualifiersQuote:
