You will yet Nigel.
Do we know how he got on? Rating or the like
Does this lad want to play for us?
There's some nice photos floating about the place of him kicking a ball round Ballyhaunis as a 9 year old when visiting with his parents. Kennyskids (who's 'retirement' lasted a week or so) said that his father has passed away. Obviously you could imagine that would impact what he might choose to do, one way or another.
I think given he seems to have come from nowhere - hasn't played reserve team football yet - he's flown under the radar internationally. Probably explains why he's not been capped by anyone at any level.
We can but see what happens, but you'd have to be looking at an U21 call-up at least for the next session. See what happens then.
The U17 Euros has just been cancelled. Wasn't really sure what thread to put this in.
U19 is still going ahead for now, so Finn could be called up to the U19s come March.
There won't be any competitive u21 games until September I suppose...

Nathan Murphy from Newstalk on twitter (sorry cant post link at moment) says Finn is in with the Spanish U17s at moment. Grandfather still lives in Ballyhaunis, and Ireland trying to get him involved. This one might run.
Pops up in this article on the 10 youngest players in Europe’s big leagues:

He was added to FIFA 21 in the latest update. Doesn't mean much of anything other than being mildly interesting but they have him in it as Spanish with decent potential!

Accurate from EA - he is Spanish and does have a lot of potential.

Kenny says he has made an approach to him. They did a presentation to him and his mother and are waiting for him to make a decision.
My personal opinion is that this seems to be a proper professional approach that wouldnt have happened with previous managers. We are all aware how little communication previous managers seem to have with prospective players. The ball is in Finns court now and if he choses not to play for us thats fine, but at least we know we went about it the right way.
They mention him being eligible for England as well. First I've heard of that. Must be a granny on his late father's side maybe?
