Potentially eligible players thread

Jaysus. I can’t begin to understand how that’s his best career move… would be interesting to know more about the source of that intel too to be fair. Could be absolute boll0x

Fair play to.him.for doing what is right for him. He played for England in Dublin against us at 17s and got sent off for fouling festy so he made his choice. Clearly no affection for us which is perfectly right as he left when very young and has no family ties.

First time hearing about this lad: https://www.irishstar.com/news/new-y...rview-32233294

Anyone know if he’s any good?

I dont mean to sound like a smart-arse or to sh!t on him but that interview has the bang of Joey Lapira off it. Knowing what I know about MLS, I cant see that a 25 year old with 34 MLS appearances and who visited last year for the first time since he was 3 years old is the answer to our problems (and i know that is not actually the question you asked)...

This made me look up Laprias "career". There's lads play DDSL that should be in contention for a call up considering Laprias one

Apparently, former international Joe O'Cearuill has a 14 year old son who is training with the Manchester United first team https://www.balls.ie/football/irish-...st-team-638433

I knew there was an Irish connection but never would have made that connection - one day maybe it won't just be quizmasters looking for obscure call-ups who will be eternally grateful to Stan for capping Joe O'Cearuill after all! JJ Gabriel is extremely highly thought of at Man Utd (whatever that's worth these days). Too young to pin hopes on, but an interesting one to watch and hopefully, if he progresses, not lose Delap-style.

Strike Paul Nebel from the lists, just been called up to German squad

Dan McDonnell's weekly email today included this line

"There has been chatter about Everton’s Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall across the summer but I felt Hallgrimsson’s answer gave every indication that something was happening with the 27-year-old who qualifies via grandparents."

I'm not sure if it's a mistake because I thought previous reports had said the exact opposite to that.
