    Is a consequence of the geographical diversification of Irish players and their clubs that I can now raise a concern about one Irish lad stunting the development and potential games of another one at Stade Reims?

    There's that side to the transfer, should it go through. On the other hand, Orazi is still only 17, and arguably way ahead of where you would expect any other 17 year old to be.

    Interesting to see him with the Ireland flag at his unveiling. The Ballyhaunis Bomber (I don't even know if he's fast or not but I'm going with it). Hopefully he can get some decent minutes. One of those players where it's hard to know whether there's a real talent there that could develop a bit later than first hoped, or whether he'll go the way of Ryan Johansson. I'm fearing the latter but hopefully might be pleasantly surprised.

    Feels like the right move for him, 21 so plenty of time to push on. Anyone any idea what postion he's been playing when coming on for Getafe?

    Seems to have been left side of central midfield, and sort of inside left as well

    In the squad for today's game against le Havre

    Orazi miss out after playing, and scoring, for the second team last night(report in french)
    https://www.stade-de-reims.com/uspdc...ays-de-cassel/

    If both players do appear in ligue 1 this season, or Jauny makes his debut for Brest, I think it'll be the first time two Irish players appeared in the competition in the same season

    A bit frustrating that Orazi is likely missing out in the short term as a direct result of Finn signing - longer term I'd say Orazi is the bigger prospect.

    One "John Finn" is starting, at left back per livescore. Hope he has a good outing.

    Somewhat randomly, given this lad's Mayo background, there was also a John Finn that played left (half) back for Mayo back in the 80s, possibly into the 90s. No idea if they're related or not though.

    John Finn is from Claremorris, John Patrick's dad is from Ballyhaunis

    Those two towns aren't that far apart all the same! It's probably a coincidence alright though.

    Is this lad definitely committed to us?

    No he's eligible for Spain, France, Cameroon and Ireland. Likely only us or Cameroon would be realistic though, and it's generally easier for European based dual players to play for European nations unless they have a particularly strong tie to the African country they're eligible for.

    Probably whether he's good enough is the bigger question at this stage, we still haven't seen much of him.

    Pictured with the tricolour in his signing photos, and described as Irish, on Reims' social media as well. Doesn't necessarily mean anything, but he didn't wear the colours of any other country he's qualified for

    It does right now, but there's photos of players with tricolours who went on to play for other countries.
    Done get me wrong, I'm glad to see it.
