Great Call tets On for full second half

Had a look at his Twitter feed and, much like every other teen player we have, it's dominated with Conor McGregor. In all honesty, it wouldn't be a bad idea to leverage him in the circumstances we are finding ourselves in with Rice, Kelly and Grealish. Whatever you think about his actions and words etc, he is very proud of his Irishness.

Given the hysteria around declan rice switching can we assume coventry will be capped against denmark or wales?

**Stuttgart88** · 30/09/2018, 7:31 PM

No we can't

**tetsujin1979** · 27/10/2018, 12:16 AM

Coventry omitted from the West Ham U23s squad for their game against Leicester. The Hammers' senior team is suffering a bit of an injury crisis ahead of their game against Leicester as well....
Could be something, could be nothing.

great call tets. Maybe now we cap him in Denmark?

**tetsujin1979** · 26/12/2018, 10:58 AM

Linked with a loan move in January, Crawley and Charlton interested according to Twitter

**liamoo11** · 27/12/2018, 5:51 PM

nice to see him make the bench tonight

**DeLorean** · 30/12/2018, 7:55 PM

Does anybody know how Coventry qualifies exactly?

**Olé Olé** · 30/12/2018, 8:06 PM

Not sure but he made some positive noises a couple of months ago: https://www.whufc.com/news/articles/...8-ireland-duty

I cringe at myself posting about "positive noises" given that Rice couldn't have made any more positive noises than kissing his badge etc. Christ.

Irish mother, so a more direct link than Rice

Ah very good.

That said, Rice's father might say he's Irish himself too! Obviously not Irish-born so you are right that it's less direct.

A good Mammy's boy!

**elatedscum** · 14/06/2019, 7:21 PM

i'd say his mother left pretty young though, spoke to her after a 21s game and she had a pretty strong London accent. (She also seemed just being with pride for him)

As far as I'm concerned Sean Rice is Irish, she's Irish and as long as he feels it, Conor is Irish.

**tetsujin1979** · 15/02/2021, 4:33 PM

named on the bench for tonight's game against Sheffield United, along with Odubeko

**CraftyToePoke** · 31/08/2021, 4:42 PM

Has joined Peterborough United on loan, for the season AFAIK.
Championship football time for him in a side he should get in.

**Trequartista20** · 31/08/2021, 7:55 PM

How Arter, who's been in notable decline for at least three years - as further evidenced by his drop down to the third tier and Charlton today - made it into the squad ahead of of talented young players with careers on the rise like Coventry, Kilkenny and Doyle-Hayes is well beyond me.

**John83** · 31/08/2021, 8:34 PM

Coventry has 3 senior appearances for West Ham in the league cup, 7 for Lincoln City in League One, and none for Ireland. Arter has more to offer a squad than Coventry. Maybe not for much longer, but for now he does. Frustration with the lack of quality available to us doesn't magically make the untested young fellas ready to take on Portugal. If this loan goes well, and Coventry is playing steadily in the Championship, he'll be in line for a cap before long.

Arter did praise Kenny quite a bit.

It's a great move. For him, for Posh, and for West Ham. He's been a great player for us at 21s, and his partnership with Molumby - fleeting as it was - was promising.
Every time I hear his name I have this mindseye image of him in the centre circle moving a pass from Molumby on the right, one-touched with the inside right boot behind him across to the left to Dara O'Shea undercutting him on the outside. The type of move I literally cannot remember seeing an Irish senior midfield player doing in my adulthood, if ever.
