    I was wondering this too, but surely under Irish football law, she is entitled to lodge a protest as Gaeilge like the rest of us?

    From what I can tell it looks like he was dropped completely from the Leicester match day squad. It’s been a bit of a rollercoaster ride for him and probably hasn’t worked out too well overall.

    I really have never seen much in his all round game to make me think he is going to be a premier league level striker. I don't think he is such an incredible goalscorer that he can get away with having an average all round game

    Will he be name checked for the up and coming U-21 match?

    "....missed a handful of games, with a knock, post-international break" according to the Lancashire Evening Post (11 April). " I feel sad. He trains well every day. At other clubs, he would be a striker who could score goals. But we have so many strikers. He is a fantastic professional." (Leicester City boss, Enzo Maresca, on having left Cannon out of the latest squad).

    In a weird way, not playing is exactly what we want him to be doing at this point in time.

    There's probably a nice middle ground of maybe 7/8 goals this season in fairness!

    Another example of an Irish football journalist not understanding the eligibility rules, which he gets completely wrong, but interesting comments from Cannon and hopefully he gets his competitive cap this autumn.

    It reads a little like he was considering his options or he was waiting for something more compelling to come from England but it never came following an initial approach.

    “It never really entered my head in terms of I am going to have to pick one over the other, more [a case] of taking a step back from it and looking at the situation and going from there."

    Very disappointing that Carsley reached out to the agent though.

    Why though? He's an U21s player and Carsley is the U21s manager. Why wouldn't he want to strengthen his own team. Kenny and Crawford met with Jack McGlynn in the US last year.

    Yes I don't think Carsley is doing anything other than his job. And Cannon is an English born dual national and is entitled to consider it until such time that he is tied.

    I'm glad that it sounds like Tom has taken the time, had a think and looks to be committing to us now. It's possible that his injury disrupted season came at a good time for us, but we'll take any small bit of luck we get right now, because we haven't been getting much of it.

    I think he's a very good prospect, he outshone Troy Parrott by a distance when they were at Preston together and, if he avoids further serious injury, he'll have a good career in the Premier league or at the top end of the Championship. I hope he gets a good reception on his debut.

    Didn't realize Kenny or Crawford had 40 caps for the US.

    It's just disappointing for me. I would rather an ex player of ours didn't make an approach to bring a current player of ours into another country's international set up.

    I didn't say he didn't have the opportunity or right to make the approach, did I?

    So Carsley shouldn't do his job because he's an ex international?

    No. I shouldn't be disappointed because you said I shouldn't be.

    He's just doing the job he's (well) paid to do though. Where do you draw the line? Would you rather Jack Charlton hadn't managed Ireland against England in 88? With English players too.
