I doubt anyone really cares about him now but Will Keane is declaring. Jack O'Connell is not eligible.

"We lost because we didn't win"- Ronaldo
Can't warm to the prospect of Will Keane coming on board. Firstly, he has little record to suggest he will add much to our current options. Secondly, he's taken quite a while to come on board.
Also, it's a bit of an indictment on us when you compare the international careers of the twins. When Michael realised he was good enough for England he ditched us. When Will realised he wasn't good enough for England he ditched them.
That article isn't very clear on his mother's background. This tweet and responses below clear things up: https://twitter.com/GerKeville/statu...196092417?s=19
So his mother was born in England to her Irish parents before moving back to Ireland and being raised here from 10 onwards. So she's firmly Irish.
A pity for the English FA not realising that he was eligible for them. They would have joined the hunt in light of their recent record.
In COMPLETE agreement with 'Olé Olé' on this one. I am all for recruiting but this one stinks to me.
I know that their father was born in Dublin and moved to England when he was 3. This guys (both brothers) were being monitored by the FAI for a long time. I myself followed a lot on them and both have (from my knowledge anyway) ZERO interest in playing for Ireland. Michael did play, but once Engerland came in, he was off. Will was apparently the promised one and never really made it. If he got the option to go and join this brother he would.
Again, I am all for recruiting but this one, no thanks. He has been given plenty of opportunities over the years and never once showed any interest
On yer bike Will!
The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist thinks it will change; the realist adjusts the sails.
It would be interesting if we play England and he was marked by his twin brother, that would have to be a first? ( twins on opposite international teams)
It's been done with brothers (Jerome and Kevin Boateng) but not twins as far as I know.
I saw Conor Noss is down in transfermarkt as being a dual citizen of Ireland and Germany. Anyone heard anything about him? Seems to be doing alright for Borrusia Monchengladbach.

Crowley scored a penalty today. He has 5 goals and six assists in 25 league and cup games so far
