Mick said that he is going to see Danny play in the Dutch Cup final (which is not on until 5th May). Therefore, there is no hope that he is going to be included on time for the Gibraltar and Georgia matches.
McCarthy said : “Our international department are sorting Danny’s paperwork. Noel King brought him to my attention when I got the job and will have a look at Danny with Willem ll before I go to see him for myself when he plays against Ajax in the Dutch Cup final.”
Murphy's Law - Crowley will pick up an injury in the prior game.Quote:

Would love to see him at A.Z Alkmaar next season :) Feyenoord are **** anyway
Finally there seems to be movement on irish players going abroad, English born, because English players started it. But it doesn't matter once we have lads playing at a decent level and broadening their chances.
quick! File the paperwork!! Who do we have to pay to get this finished??!!!Quote:

We know (at least) from Nov 12 2018 that Dan had declared openly to the FAI that he wanted to make the switch, yet it took months before the FAI woke up to task to initiate the switch.
Perhaps they were too busy scanning the media for any slight to be bothered about Dan.
Played again tonight as they won. 32 more of less full games this season already and another 8 left. Would be great if he gets 40 games this season good experience and he has hopefully helped keep them up.he will be 22 in August so he really needed this kind of season
Another win for willem 11 and full game for crowley. I'd say they are safe now.

https://www.voetbalprimeur.nl/nieuws...feyenoord.html in the team of week seems to say he is a fans favourite. If he moves in summer hopefully he goes somewhere to get lots of games has 35 starts this season which must be great for the development of a 21 year old
If I were to attempt spelling football in Dutch I'd spell it votball.
Interesting.
Good to see the Englishman doing well.Quote:

Another full game and an assist today. They conceded in injury time which might be blow to them finishing eight to get a playoff for Europe. The cup final is in 2 weeks
Been watching this guy. Seems like a young Wes Hoolahan.
Very clever of him to go to Holland instead of wasting his time in Championship reserve team football.
Yes have to agree he would have had lots of offers at those levels. He is still young enough to go to the euros 21s with England this summer so he has certainly committed to us at a stage of his career when he had other options.Quote:

All depends on whether or not he's transferred his international allegiance
It would be massive incompetence on the FAIs part if they haven't at least help him get that part done considering how vocal he has been about playing for us.Quote:

Presumably the speed at which we allowed the Rice transfer will mean we get some good will the other direction. At least I'd like to hope so. The main concern would be Southgate intervenes but I think at this point he would be considered too far down the pecking order given where he's playing for that to be a factor.Quote:

Yeah I don't think he is going back but it sickens me that we are not more proactive here but falling over ourselves for lads like bamford and Redmond who don't seem pushed but a lad actually goes about coming on board with no prompting and seems to get no love. The joke is that dowell is sticking with England at the same age as crowley but will undoubtedly be persued unrelentlessly to come on board over the next few seasons
Nice column about Daniel Crowley on voetbalzone.nl today. I wasn;t able to copy past the translation here. Go to https://translate.google.com/ and put the url https://www.voetbalzone.nl/doc.asp?uid=350919 in. Article also mentions him wanting to play for Ireland.
Daniel Crowley: The ex-Arsenal midfielder out to beat Ajax in the Dutch Cup final
He has not yet spoken to Republic boss Mick McCarthy, who is rumoured to be attending Sunday's game, but had discussions with talent scout Mark O'Toole.
"I told him I want to play for Ireland. He is trying to get the papers sorted - I have to be patient," he says.
"The way I felt two years ago is different to the person I am now. Growing up I never owned an England kit, I had all the Ireland kit
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/48111164
I'm really on this lad's side. I think he genuinely feels Irish and wants to play for us. I don't think a Southgate phonecall could ever impact him like it did Rice. I actually met a chap recently who is an Irishman from Birmingham. He was very firm on Crowley and referenced his old man hurting with Crowley's.

Only on the bench, surprisingly.
