Ryan Nolan set for a first team debut at Inter lads

Call him up MON! Seriously, I know it's still only pre-season, but that's a great achievement. Fingers crossed that he impressed enough to stay involved with the senior squad this season (or at least gets a decent loan move to kick-start his senior career)Originally Posted by CraftyToePoke
The Spanish FA are sniffing around and we have barely capped him at international level.
The lad clearly has great talent. He needs to be put into our u19s immediately or possibly an u21 squad.
I'm guessing he is likely to go to a Serie B team on loan either this year or next. If not, maybe a lowly serie a team. Even being around the first team squad at a club like Inter is huge.
Harry Arter played for half of Bournemouth's 1-1 draw at Sevilla. Joe Murphy, Eoghan O'Connell and Stephen Dawson all played for part of Bury's draw 0 - 0 at home to Liverpool.

I know I'm being facetious when I say call him up, but this should be a wake-up call for MON to get in touch and find out what Nolan's international ambitions are and let him know we're interested. He hasn't been capped competitively at underage level and apparently Spain are showing a bit of an interest - there may be an option for him to play for the U21s in their final group games if Declan Rice continues to play for the senior team this autumn
What's his background? What's he doing out there, and how come he's eligible for Spain too?
His parents emigrated to Spain when he was a child, so I think he would qualify on residency. He was spotted there by a scout from Inter, who brought him to Italy

Not sure if it's clear in this article but he definitely stated this year that Ireland is his international team.

Simon Power - signed from UCD last year - starts as well.
He has four now as Norwich lead 6-0 after an hour
Crikey, that's brilliant. I thought when they split the team for pre-season and he was left with the U23s that it would mean at least another season before we could expect him to get serious first-team action (which would still be just fine, considering he's only 17) - but if this is an indication of how the next few months will go for him, surely management at Norwich might give him a look earlier in the season - perhaps in an EFL game.
