Any idea why he wasn't in the recent U21 squads?

There are some people in this thread stating he's the best player they've seen player for Oldham: http://www.owtb.co.uk/topic/50007-ja...-signs/?page=2
There's a takeover looming there which might see Oldham make an investment on Jack. Even the new owners would realise they could probably turn a tidy profit on Jack by the end of the season. The concept of him staying in League One past this season is foolish but he might be as happy to get a full season under his belt there. After being burnt so badly in his last moves, he'll surely have to be apprehensive about his next one.
Oldham was a necessary move at the time, and great that it has built up his confidence again. And great that he's renewing the reputation he had not so long ago. But probably won't be there beyond January. Would love to see him move back to Holland, something which he said he would have liked himself, but for some reason did not materialize (probably because he was ill advised moving to Blackburn). As was said before on here, he has to get the move that's right for him. His style of game is not really suited to the lower leagues of English football. Therefore I believe, assuming that the majority of PL clubs wouldn't be over interested in him, only a few top tier Championship sides or Holland / Europe are the best options.
If they stump up the cash then he might stay there beyond January. Not exactly ideal move mid-season if he's enjoying his football. He'd want to tread very lightly in moving to a Championship side after his last two moves in that division. And who in Holland/Europe is keeping an eye on him? Hopefully someone is.
It will be interesting either way.
He'd be mad to go back to the championship.
A move back to the continent would seem his best bet.

Eoin Doyle with a brace also.
And not in U21 squad again. Is he overage or overlooked?

Watched some Sheff Wed's games of late and have been really impressed by Barry Bannan as a playmaker. Great to watch and is at the heart of Wednesday's game, though not the greatest defensively. Why he isn't regularly picked for Scotland is beyond me. I always think of Byrne when I watch Bannan as he is particularly small, but gifted. Would love to see Byrne develop like Bannan. Similar careers in some ways as Bannan spent a lot of his career out on loan, probably due to his height. A player like Bannan would certainly be the missing link we so urgently need in midfield.

There's 33 minutes gone and Oldham are 2-0 up at home to Northampton. Jack scored the first and assisted the second.
Also scored the third. Goals here: https://streamable.com/a37aw
That first one is pure quality.
Byrne will end up in the Premiership without a doubt, just needs to have the right manager who isn't afraid of having a smaller guy in midfield. Hes very good.
Its really not that complicated!!!
In the EFL Team of the Week: https://www.efl.com/news/2017/decemb...december-2017/
Midfielder: Jack Byrne (Oldham Athletic)
Byrne kicked things off as Oldham cruised to a 5-1 win against Northampton Town, curling home a fine effort into the top corner with just four minutes gone.
The 21-year-old created the second and doubled his personal tally in the first half, while continuing to pull the strings as the Latics added the gloss after the break.
