Great to see Roman on bench for Wolves nice footballer
on the bench for Wolves again today against Forest
And got 10 mins well done nice player
Great to see another youngster breaking into his first team. Hopefully he and the other recent Championship debutants (Kelly, Shodipo, O'Keeffe, Field) can hold onto their places and give us extra options in the next couple of seasons.
Great to see him start today
I didn't know what his International situation was so I gave him a quick google.
"I'll show England what their missing" is the first headline I see.
If his main goal after getting an Intl call up is to prove a point to another country, it's not totally encouraging.
Not to mention the terrible grammar.
This lads story has been discussed elsewhere. He played for a kind of England reserve under 17 s 2 years ago and also for our under 17s. No chance he was going to make their side for the euro s that summer but was picked for our squad. At the time he was at Rochdale I think and was just making the move to wolves. England lads on big soccer were not fussed that he had switched http://forums.bigsoccer.com/threads/...#post-32639094. The arsenal lad mcguane played for us in that under 17 euros but then switched to Brits . No point making a drama about it obviously he may leave us but unless we stop picking lads who have dual nationality that's always goin to be the way. There were plenty saying Randolph was rubbish and could **** off when he talked about been eligible for the USA 4 or 5 years ago but I don't see many whinging about him now.

You have taken that line out of context. He doesn't say it like a jilted lover who goes out to shift someone in front of the person that dumped them to make them jealous.
He had the option to play for either country and picked us and I'm sure his old man is proud.
I did read it.
Ronan said:Anyways, we'll see what happens down the road. No point arguing about it.Quote:
“I’ve seen a few of them (England players) around the hotel and had a chat with them.
“I’m looking forward to playing England and showing them what they are missing really.”
The only 3 lads in our under 19 s this season who have played first team in the uk are Ronan O Keefe and Barrett . All these r English born with dual nationality. Let's stop picking lads with dual nationality for our underage sides to keep towk happy .
Where did I say anything remotely like "I want him" or "I don't want him" in the Intl set up?
Where did anyone say you did say that?

Seems to have done very well. "Qualifies through father's grandparents?" Can't be right.
Sure we don't need any of them, we can pick Paddy Madden instead.

Regular goalscorer (albeit at League One level), good movement, can play out wide.
Going off his appearance against Wales, he can't possibly be any worse an option than McGoldrick, Best, Rooney, N. Hunt, Sammon, Cox and any number of options who have got call ups over the years.
I'm sure the derision is towards you, not Madden.
He's not cap-tied to us and he's eligible for England through residency.Quote:

Spelling his name with a double-n should disqualify him straight away. Usurper.
Off the bench against Liverpool, live on BT Sport now
Doherty was really good and Mason came on too.
Not a bad write up. Plenty of room in Irish squad for an attacking midfielder! Wolves reporter from last night's game v Wigan
''Is this kid for real? Showed up some of his more senior team mates with his tenacity, desire and his quality in possession. Great technique, great energy and has the vision to back up his many attributes on the ball. Set pieces were, again, excellent and he swung a great free kick onto Edwards' head for the chance of the match. Looks about 12 but unleashed a rocket of a 30-yard screamer in the dying seconds that the keeper tipped over. Forget about the future, Connor Ronan is ready now. Not overawed at all. Three starts in a Wolves shirt and three 8/10s from this reporter. Keep it up Connor.'' 8/10
And the praise keeps on coming for Manning too...
John Fallon reports that the FA are keen on convincing Ronan to switch to England, although he does also reassure us that the player is "fully committed" to Ireland: http://www.independent.ie/sport/socc...-35455505.html

Grealish never played for England before he played for Ireland though.
Iceland squad with a carrot of going to a WC before he hits 20 if he keeps performing at Wolves. Protect the asset and see the colour of his intentions nice and early, put it to bed. (yes I know a friendly cap doesn't tie him DI :) )
fracture in his back apparently, could be out for the rest of the season :(
Won young professional of the season at the Wolves end of season awards: https://twitter.com/wolves/status/862051048738959362
Back playing for Wolves in their pre season friendlies and set up the only goal of the game against Werder Bremen a few days ago: https://www.wolves.co.uk/news/first-...werder-bremen/
good to see him get on tonight. Has been involved at least on the bench in nearly every game so far thiss season
Wasn't involved in the recent u21's game but was called up to the squad , did he just not make the final match day squad ?
https://www.fai.ie/ireland/match/13/...417?tab=report this report has him on the bench. I was surprised he wasn't involved as we r so light in an attacking sense at that grade
Off the bench again today for wolves he is sticking in there this season with them hopefully he is involved in the 21s games this week
Praise for his performance tonight after coming on in the 72nd minute against Man City.

De Bruyne asked to swap his jersey the last night. Hopefully he gets some more appearances.
I don't think we have to worry about De Bruyne getting more appearances.
