If MON picks him of course he goes. The agents statement is more than clear and I might add he has changed his "pinned header on twitter " from making his premier league debut. To a new pinned header of his first training session with the Irish team. His biggest danger to not going to Denmark is MON ego.
Good news, Did MON want him to declare his intent before considering him for this game against the North?
Do we call him Mick, or is it too soon?
Dreadful handling of the whole thing by O'Neill.
Great to see this. It is a great example also for other players of Nigerian backgrounds that have been born or lived in Ireland. The likes of Okoflex will hopefully follow suit.
Other than what was said in press conferences, we really don't know what O'Neill did. It could have been him that convinced Obafemi to confirm his allegiance, it could have been Keane, could have been Mohan.

I Like Mickey O'B
on a lighter note, after all this can you imagine if he was totally sh*t!
That's my big fear!
Maybe I've missed something - what exactly is all the criticism of O'Neill for?
What is it that he did or didn't do?
He poorly managed the situation. Even with the best will in the world(which there isnt) he alienated the situation so the players agent had to confirm his commitment. If he had the correct level of communication with the player than Mon makes the statement to the media.
As far as I can see, when there was talk of Obafemi switching, O'Neill was asked and just gave a fairly generic 'it's his decision, we won't pressure him' comment.
Is there any more to it than that?
If that's all it is, I don't think there is much wrong with it.
And so, after all that...he didn't play
After sitting through that 90 minutes - the lad still might do a runner. Could you blame him....
