Potentially eligible players thread

Unless Gordon had an Irish passport before he tured 21 and played for England, he's ineligible anyway.

It's a level above the tabloids in terms of writing and analysis, but I don't pay them much heed on rumours. They regurgitate rather than report, I think.

There's some good eggs writing at f365, wouldn't put them in the same class as the red tops

Could see him ending up with Scotland, they're signing English lads wherever they can these days.

I'm pretty sure that rule has gone now. Re Ryan Johansson

Think it still counts but only now if a player plays once he turns 22 rather than needing the nationality before his first competitive cap at any level.

Like Finn Azaz isn't 100% tied to us, but might now be ineligible for Israel or can't pick up a new nationality and play for them but obviously can with England. Similar to Smallbone and Coventry still being eligible for England.

If Gordon's birth isn't registered with the foreign births register then he's possibly ineligible for us or will be when he plays in the u21 euros this summer.

Surely these lads & particularly the shrewdness of their agents would take care of keeping those international career options open these days ? Even if only for leverage purposes. They're so tuned in to every available angle.

I doubt Gordon would be too bothered about that either way. He has already played for England under 21s after his 21st birthday so, unless he held Irish citizenship before his first competitive England appearance (which was at under 19 level in 2019) he's ineligible for us now anyway.

He remains eligible for Scotland as well as England. So if he falls short of the standard for England he'll play for Scotland I'd imagine.

Goal for Dennis Cirkin today.

**seanfhear** · 10/04/2023, 7:35 PM

I love a follow up goal.

**tetsujin1979** · 10/04/2023, 8:05 PM

It does bother me a little the way some irish football accounts will give as much time to players who are eligible for Ireland, but have made no mention of declaring, as actual Irish internationals
There was a near meltdown from a few of them when Jack McGlynn was not included in the US senior squad, only for him to be announced with their U21s a few days later

**Eirambler** · 10/04/2023, 8:32 PM

I agree, although I do think out of all the known Irish eligible players not currently in our setup, Cirkin is probably one of the most likely to end up actually playing for us.

Anyone know why Cirkin has been missing from Sunderland's play-off games?

Midfielder Kieran O'Neill Dowell (17 England U-21 caps) is (?was) eligible for the Republic of Ireland via the grandparent rule. However, he has been released by Norwich City (65 appearances, 11 goals) at the end of his 3-year contract (Bristol Live, 16 May)

**SkStu** · 20/05/2023, 6:46 PM

Watching USA v Ecuador in the U20 WC. McGlynn looks a player. Central to everything the USA is doing, fantastic range of passing.

**Demesne Lad** · 26/05/2023, 12:06 PM

Christy Pym (28), former England U-20 cap who is also eligible for Ireland, has been put on the transfer list by Peterborough. Pym was first choice keeper for Mansfield (EFL2) in 2022/23.
