    Do you think McCarthy has made contact? Simple question.
    I would say someone in the management apparatus did talk to him. Whether it was MMc who knows

    There's a pic on his instagram from Nov 2015 where he's 'watching football with the little bro'. He's wearing a nave tracksuit top with green stripes and the young lad is in an Ireland soccer kit.
    So it seems he's been, at the very least, dropping hints the last three and a half years that Ireland was where his hat would be laid.
    Folding my way into the big money!!!

    Have you read the document I refer to? do you know what the process involves? I doubt it.
    It's quite clear in the well hidden document at FIFA HQ that the association the player wants to switch to ( in this case the FAI) has to make the request to FIFA on behalf of the player. If a player informs the FAI that he wants to switch to the FAI, the next step is from the FAI to initiate the paperwork. Part of that paperwork is a statement from the player.
    He kept in touch with the FAI scout and the scout was well informed as to Dan's intentions re a return to Ireland. In all that time that the FAI knew (the scout), nobody got back to contact Dan, despite the fact that Mick was trawling the dredges trying to persuade players to sign up.

    I haven't a clue who in the FAI finally contacted him but I guess he was informed by somebody to contact the FAI directly or was contacted by the FAI and asked to confirm his intentions and request the FAI to start the paperwork.

    You've gotta love the lad's insistence on convincing. He's like a figure standing in the battlefield smoke of the Ricegate wars, arms aloft, imploring the cautious greens to ignore the accent and search him for hidden England kits. You can practically hear the Irish guns being uncocked at the sound of "Ireland were the team I supported at the Euro 2016 finals."

    I didn't read the document but I assumed that's how the initial part of the process works.

    Watched the first half of his game today and he looks a player.

    The commentator was saying that he has created 40 chances going into today's game, 19 more than any other player in the team. Was raving about how important he is to them.

    There is definitely a look of Wes of him. Could be very good addition

    Incidentally there was an Irish flag in the corner of the ground with his number 14 on it.

    What’s the reality of the level he’s actually playing at though?
    Tenth in the Eredivisie,where would that be? mid-championship standard? There doesn’t seem to be many Dutch players getting a look in outside of the Eredivisie top four but there’s a few from Huddersfield, Palace etc.

    I would be doubtful he would start for any premier league team at present due to his physical limitations but that may come with games. Mount had a similiar season in Holland last season and he is having decent season at derby now. He might never be good enough for the physical demands of a top league but he will certainly give us creativity against the likes of georgia which we so badly have been missing or in home games when we need to turn draws into wins if we want to qualify for tournaments. If we need to beat denmark or switzerland at home and the choice is to pick him or arter in a 3 man midfield with mccarthy and hendrick Id certainly take crowley even though he might never have the physical tools to play at the level arter has.

    Isn't there an argument that we don't play against physical scrappy teams at international level, and certainly not in games that we struggle in? We struggle against the technical teams that make us run around like eejits because we can't keep the ball. We need to lose the idea that you're club side is what dictates whether you play international ball or not. There is very little difference between the bottom half of the premier league and the championship.

    There's an argument for picking players who are used to getting their foot on the ball, or players who are used to winning games regularly. Crowley fits into all of those brackets.
    Here they come! It’s the charge of the “Thanks” Brigade!

    That was always what was thrown at Wes too, too small to play at top level. But yet he was always our most creative player

    https://www.bd.nl/willem-ii/doelpunt...m-ii~a394b30e/ I assume this is the kind of attitude issues that people have raised about crowley. Hopefully matures with age
