    People I’ve noticed that in Dublin with the squad:

    Joe Hodge
    Luca Connell
    Will Smallbone
    Cameron Ledwidge
    Oisin McEntee
    Jonathan Afolabi

    I think Tyreke Wright is in the background of the FAI post too. Wish they’d just announce the squad instead of finding it out piece by piece.

    Pleased that Luca is involved. Maybe he sees it as a shop window. The ideal starting 11 for the age group is possibly something like:

    Maher

    O’Connor
    Collins
    McEntee
    Connell

    Coventry
    Bolger

    Connolly
    Parrott
    Obafemi

    Idah

    Interesting to see how many are allowed to go.

    the U17 squad wasn't announced until a week before the tournament, so I don't expect to hear anything until around the 7th
    I doubt O'Connor, Coventry, Obafemi or Idah will be involved

    Great to see hodge involved. Paper report said obafemi, Coventry, o connor and I think Connolly wont be involved as will be with their first teams. Is bilger a Cardiff player now or back at rovers?

    Hodge is some player. If I were to pick another player for a call up from that under 17 side then it would be Andrew Omobamidele, depending on the necessity for centre halves, of course.

    I think Tyreke Wilson is overage for this unfortunately. Which might mean Connell having to play out of position at left back. Would James Furlong be an option from the under 17 squad to play left back?

    Also Bazunu in goal maybe?

    Yeah, Wilson is overage. Born in December 1999, the tournament is for players born on or after 1st January 2000

    It's a sign that we are finally stacked with strikers at underage level that you have named four in that team. Granted that Parrott and Connolly can definitely play in the 10 and wide forward positions, respectively.

    An all out Klinsmann 4-2-4!

    So, based on the training camp list the following eligible players are currently not with the squad:

    Gavin Bazunu
    Lee O'Connor
    Nathan Collins
    James Furlong
    Conor Coventry
    Nathan Carlyle
    Jason Knight
    Aaron Connolly
    Glen McAuley
    Michael Obafemi
    Adam Idah
    Troy Parrott

    As well as Ryan Johannson who is underage but ineligible and Armstrong Okoflex who presumably remains uninterested.

    Its probably quite a sensible approach to young player welfare in fairness only having lads involved in one summer tournament. Disappointed for McCauley it seems in the 2 years since he pulled out of the 17s squad for the finals his career has really stalled

    Irish teenage starlet will prioritise regular football over 'big' club allure https://the42.ie/4697485

    Really like this lad. Going to Celtic would at least see him go into the first team early. Pity Rodgers wasn't still there.

    Good interview, seems to have enjoyed his time with the seniors. He wasn't part of the squad for the qualifying round, but was given a chance with the U18s and earned a spot in the squad for the Elite round in Russia.
    The little bit about Robbie Keane in training is on my mind a little. Used to hear similar things about Hoddle, that he was involved in training and had to be the best at it.

    Hard to know from the interview if it was just banter. Or if Keane was actively asserting himself over the group. Hardly good for the morale of the strikers in his shadow. Weren't there murmurs about Roy Keane being 'the best player in training' at Sunderland or Ipswich?

    Really don't want to deflect away from a guy who I've commented on positively hear before - last year - but on a tangent that you yourself raise, I thought Robbie was too involved in the warm-up in copenhagen, and not for the better. The warm-up was sloppy, and at times during basic drills (the shooting drill particularly) it was laughable for senior professionals. I dunno if it was Curtis, I think it was, but 4 times in a row he played the ball to Robbie for a knock-back for a shot, and for whatever reason, 4 times he wasn't given a pass back to get a shot off.

    It was farcical.
    Here they come! It’s the charge of the “Thanks” Brigade!

    Aside from the dual nationality discussion, he highlights he was released by Southampton. I thought the view was that he rejected a contract. Interesting.
