from wikipedia it looks like his brother plays in France. Might be worth having a look at them.

Only thing is Bristol Rovers are on the cusp of the relegation places down in League One.Quote:

Should be aiming higher. As Olé Olé has said, Bristol are looking hard at relegation places in League one. A player of the talent of Forrester should be looking at a mid table Championship club.Quote:

Longford Town's Josh O'Hanlon over in England on trial with Peterborough, Wolves and Manchester United!
Is anyone else slightly concerned about the lack of youth Irish players being given a run in England this season? Usually there's a few given sub appearances in early rounds of the cup, but this season there's been no new players getting their debuts, or even first appearances on the bench
sign of the times i think. alot made of all the irish youth players at villa last season but of the 7 or 8 youth players there last season grealish is only one likely to see any sub appearences later this season. tink the others will have to start in league 1 like williams and carruthers decided to do.Quote:

lawlor is prob third choice at city but they prob will buy in new year and byrne has had good season but no chance of game in citys midfield. no youth players at arsenal or chelsea which is sad unless crowley comes back to fold.. Its very depressing.
So many players in uk academies its tough for irish lads. At liverpool alex o hanlon who is a really technical player will more than likely only be a sub on their youth cup team even though he is one of our main players for the ireland 19s this year and supposedly was wanted by every club in england. I had hoped paul george would see some celtic action but not sure if he has recovered full fitness from his leg break. Awful season so far for irish player development
Agreed with both the last two posts.
on a similar vein, Eoin Wearen's been on trial at Ipswich recently: http://www.twtd.co.uk/ipswich-town-n...ed-by-brighton
that's from two weeks ago, don't know if it came to anything
Read a conversation on twitter between Stephen Folan and Wearen, and from what I can ascertain, Wearen is going to stick it out in England until the January transfer window and will then consider trying the LOI.Quote:
