my understading is that under 17 euro qualifiers are counted thats hoe mcguane at barcelona cant switch back to us if he wanted cause we played him in a european under 17s finals when he was under 16 and the following year he played under 17 qualifiers for the brits and was then tied to the britsQuote:

I'd still take Ethan Ampadu and he hasn't a competitive cap for Wales yet!
A played with his promise would never declare for us:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:Quote:

But then you hear of a lad in the Inter system saying he would love to play for Ireland but isn't watched, as far as he's aware, and there is no relationship there, six months later he is in the Inter side in pre season and the matter hasn't been addressed or progressed, I think things like that and PR, talking to the fans, being a weak point in the last two senior managers has shaken confidence we are as good as we need to be behind the scenes maybe, you reckon ?Quote:

Shelvey was the one who caught my eye.

But there was even some references by MON to having discussions with his father. I don’t get how it’s dragged on so long without him committing to switch over, regardless of what side he would be involved in. The longer it drags on the more of a notion it gives me that he’s waiting for England still.Quote:

Did Callum Wilson outright turn down an offerfor playing for us? Was he approached (assuming he qualifies that is)
Very small reminder in an article on James Maddison in the Guardian- his mothers name is Una. What could have been.

Maddison was approached and said he was waiting for EnglandQuote:

This ship has well and truly sailed. I’d say there’s a better chance of me getting capped by Ireland.
We aren’t Wales we are capable of getting players like him to
Declare for us.
Robin Walsh took up the offer of a scholarship in the US with the University of Chowan over the summer: https://www.instagram.com/p/Bl55m8ag5c_/
Never heard of the place, but it turns out I drove quite close to it a few years ago on a roadtrip: https://www.chowan.edu/Quote:
It's with pleasure that I announce you that I signed in America at the University of CHOWAN after having received an academic and sports scholarship.
In order to continue my education and to come out with a good diploma as well as a very high level training from a sporting point of view.
I would like to thank , my family , friends and anderlecht for the past 8 years.
We haven’t a hope. The lad doesn’t want to play for us.Quote:

Nice list here:
http://www.punditarena.com/football/...ireland-squad/
I would love him to call up Josh Cullen and I fully expect Callum Robinson to be called upQuote:

That's a terrible list.
Callum Robinson has already been called up, so not a new face
Callum Wilson and Bamford have shown little or no interest in declaring for us
I think Duffy would need to change his allegiance, which does take a few months
Nolan hasn't played a minute of senior competitive football yet
Ditto Johansson, and he's supposed to go into the Under 18s
Cullen is the U21 captain, and will play against Kosovo and Germany
Of the remainder, Branden Hines-Ike at least has his passport, whether or not he's interested is another case. One of Kelleher and Bazunu could be called up alright. No way he's taking two rookie keepers to a competitive international
I presume this would apply to Bamford too as he played competitively for the England U21's?Quote:

The Nations League is still a competitive tournament with the prize of a back-door place in the Euros in 2020 up for grabs, which will determine seedings for the qualifying tournament proper. If there's "experimentation" to be done, that should mean allowing some of these players the opportunity to get more international experience in advance of the Spring qualifiers
Did he ?Quote:

Or is that line just more of this guys seemingly on / off relationship with reality.
Another win today for Willem II. We should be sounding out Crowley now.Quote:
