According to his wiki page. He was born in Brussels but has played for Holland through all the ages groups up to U20.

Another Barry Maguire?

There was a Robin Walsh in the Anderlecht youth set up and he's played underage for us, along with Liam Bossin, also from Anderlecht....could Belgium be the new 2nd gen hunting ground?!!!

Will Buckley has gone on a season loan to Sheffield Wednesday from Sunderland. Sunderland fans apparently very pleased !

Qualifies as per his Twitter.

Could he be the new Barry Maguire?
Call him up Mart?

**nigel-harps1954** · 05/08/2016, 10:11 PM

His wiki page is pretty much blank. He doesn't qualify either according to the first leg coverage of the game on Eir Sport.

Ethan Ampadu made his debut tonight becoming Exeter Citys youngest ever player at 15 yrs 10 months & 26 days. Started at CB as his side took out Brentford of the Championship.

The consensus on YBIG is that he is committed to Wales, though I can't remember what info was used to back this up. Certainly a player that we should be looking at. Can someone who uses twitter or face book ( not me), ask his old man what the story is.

**CraftyToePoke** · 10/08/2016, 12:51 PM

I think he might have been invited to train with the Wales Euros bound squad pre tournament, but worth asking the question surely.

I remember seeing his father play once, when a small non league team near me went deep into the FA Trophy, maybe 04/05 season. It was one of the bigger games in the clubs history with 1000+ watching where 200 or so usually would and on a pitch you wouldn't walk a dog on. Awful game quality wise but very exciting too as the locals really put it up to the pro's on that pitch and it stayed 0-0 until very late, maybe even into time added on. Then Ampadu got his one sight he was waiting for all day, he had not even had the ball anywhere in a shooting position till then and he curled it from the edge of the area, around the dive, waist high & hit the stanchion. The one real flash of quality all game & job done.

Now that's a left-field referential anecdote if there ever was one.

Marcus Harness from Burton Albion is eligible and very interested in playing for us. He's a good pal of Cyrus Christie so I'd imagine the FAI are aware of him. He's playing championship football now with O'Reilly and McCrory so depending how he gets on this season he may be worth a look. Young fast player with an eye for goal.

not sure we want to be saddled with him to be honest.

**Charlie Darwin** · 10/08/2016, 11:30 PM

If anyone can rein him in, it's Martin O'Neighll

I don't know. We might want to act fast on this one.

You've really got the bit between your teeth on this one Stu.

Some info here on him. Clough seems with impressed with him. May be a call up to the U21s is on the cards.

Niall Maher scored for Bury last night. I know he was discussed on here before but not sure if it was ever confirmed whether he was eligible or not? A just turned 21 year old centre half playing League One football.

So, what you're saying is, he'll provide a bit of support as we try to climb the rankings?

Don't be deceived by names. Conor Coady who plays for Wolves in an English underage international.
