    He was on loan at Wednesday for a while. Very average - if his own dad isn't giving him a game at Birmingham, that says it all.

    In other words he couldn't pass to his teammates. That's the Bruce I remember at Wednesday.

    Well I'm thrilled he has opted for us. Haven't seen him play but he is young and promising and his father was a decent player.

    Mercenary comment of the highest order. Not good enough for us - maybe in a few years.

    ridiculous


    Bruce, son of manager Steve, had been selected to play for Northern Ireland at Under-21 level.

    "I am going to pick the Republic purely because I think they are a better team," said Bruce




    nice to know he cares about us


    he is useless anyway

    Considering you're an Aston Villa fan, you would say that anyway!.

    Na lads you are ok you's can have him rather have half decent player with a bit of heart than lads like this in our squad. Didnt look that good in any match I saw but is still young so good luck to him.

    Give the lad a chance. It's fair to question his commitment but a lot of Ireland's most illustrious players were English-born.

    Does he qualify through his paternal grandparents or maternal grandparents? Maybe Steve wasn't elegible.

    Steve Bruce couldnt play for ROI or NI because he had played for England at underage level I think but not 100% sure.
