English players Dual Nationality thread

Declan Rice slight favourite with the bookies to declare for Ireland now, After england were big favourites few days back. Like I said before can’t see him declaring for England.

 

While Rice is a decent prospect, I don't understand this fuss whether he chooses England or not. While his position is not really covered, still there are some good young players are coming up for defensive midfield. If he joins, good, if he wants to play for Ireland, good for him.

 

Probably because the fai tweeted him happy birthday with a new Ireland top on. Thing is, that picture is old, you can tell by how long his hair is. It means nothing to me. Still thinking he'll declare for us.

 

TalkSPORT is a troll outlet to be honest. I would take with a pinch of salt anything said on there.

 

According to The Times, Declan Rice will announce a decision within the next ten days.

 

Apologies if its old news but an intereting read in the scottish sun who intereviewed Chris mccart about dembele. In his opinion dembele is committed to england for the near future.

Some more info on Charlie Kelman. He was born in Essex to an American father and moved to the US at 2 years old to Dallas, Texas. He moved back to England after he turned age 11. He then came back to Texas in 2016 and was with the FC Dallas Premier youth team, scoring 74 goals in 35 matches. At the end of 2016, he left Dallas again to join Southend's setup. He also has a younger brother, born in Texas in 2007, who is also now in Southend's setup. He has been with the US U18s and is a possible candidate for the U20s. England could also be looking at him, given he's the youngest scorer this season in the top 3 English leagues.

 

I should also note that Kelman is eligible for Scotland through his father, who is Scottish-American.

 

these 2 flip flop all the time but 03-Arrey-Mbi and 03-Musiala have been called up for Germany U16 to play in the UEFA Development Tournament in Feb 2019.

 

Just a general question. If a player had requested the switch and submitted all the paperwork from one FA to another FA to switch allegiances, would the media get hold of that information or could it be kept very secretive?

 

Really good question, you'd think there would be a leak somewhere. Are you thinking about Declan Rice?

 

Yeah I was just thinking about it earlier and with the next set of International games coming up in March could the paperwork have already been processed in a secretive manor otherwise if not it could be months before he becomes eligible, if he switches to us.

 

England U19 and Man City's Ian Poveda may want to switch to Colombia, his parents' homeland, where he'd have an easier time breaking in:

As always, take it with a big pinch of salt.

He plays for City, they send a Colombian journalist to get a quote for him, they ask if he'd play for Colombia, he gives a polite answer. We've seen the same thing happen hundreds of times before.

 

That's true. Also it's a good thing that there are so many talent coming up in that position, that it would not be a major disaster if Poveda really switches to Colombia.

 

Poveda said quite a while ago in another Colombian article that he favoured Colombia did he not? I have very little expectation of him ultimately choosing England.

I think there's next to no chance of this having happened. There's no incentive for either Rice or the FAI to keep quiet about it.

 

Chituru Odunze, the 6-foot-7-and-growing 16-year-old USA U17 goalkeeper who I mentioned before in this thread, is currently on trial with Leicester. He was born in North Carolina, raised in England and Canada, and has nationality for those three countries as well as Nigeria. He's likely one of the most physically talented U17 goalkeepers of any nation.

I wouldn't really describe being tall as a talent.

 

not gonna lie, very slightly bummed we dont have david brooks still in our pool. I know hes not world class but looks like a solid international player for wales. Good luck to him

Your manager is still trying to steal Rice from us . Hands off . If he plays for you, Southgate will only waste him at center back.

 

Steal? He was born in London.

 

Oh for the love of God...

 

The kid was born in England. For me that makes him English regardless of his background. You can sit there all day and tell me how 'irish' he is but he isn't. If he really felt Irish, he wouldn't be taking 6 months to decide.
If he chooses England then I'll be happy because he's a quality player. If he chooses Ireland then you can rest assured you have another mercenary playing for you.

 

He's not Irish. Born in England. Came up through the English system. What have Ireland done for him? F all!!
