    This story reaks of another ravel morrison situation. Court case aside, I can see his career doing very similar to morrison now.

    Such a shame and waste of talent but that's why countries like Jamaica have a football team at the end of the day. It would be remiss of them to not try and convince a player of jamaican heritage who has been shunned my his home country.

    Greenwood shunned his own country most of the time. I also cannot see him accepting Jamaica. He obviously cared little about international football so there's no way he will be prepared to travel thousands of miles to play in unglamorous qualifiers

    We said that about ravel morrison.
    Mind you, they tend to declare when they're about 28 or 29 so we have a while to go yet.

    Blackburn keeper Nicholas Michalski, who has featured for England U16s, has been called up to a Poland U16 training camp.

    Also attending are Bartosz Kosiorek (Leicester) & Kornel Miściur (Hull).

    that's a new name to me, not seen his name feature in any U18 squads as yet so no idea how big of a prospect he is

    He's still an U15 so unlikely to be with the 18s yet.

    Harvey Blair (Liverpool) featuring in Jamaica's new kit release. He's yet to play for them but this would suggest he will do going forward.

    A bunch of England-based players have also been with Lithuania this past week or two; Sasnauskas (Sheff Utd, ex Chelsea), Golambeckis (West Ham), Sacevicius (Arsenal), Klimas (Tottenham), Leipus (Bristol Rovers).

    Elliot Anderson starting against Liverpool today. I think games like this are worth keeping an eye on - if he puts in a big performance then it'll change the terms of the conversation about his international future.

    Just going back to this and I saw this tweet



    The problem will be opportunity at Newcastle to make his name going forward.

    Keyrol Figueroa needs two more goals (in two matches to go) to break the CONCACAF U17 Championship scoring record. Averaging a goal every 37 minutes. Born in Honduras to Honduran legend Maynor Figueroa and a Honduran-American mother. Raised between Honduras, USA (FC Dallas academy), and primarily in England (Liverpool academy). He's a confirmed tri-national and eligible for England.

    One of a few 2006-born players on Liverpool U18 and was rostered for U19 UEFA YL, but has not played much yet, in part due to injury.

    To add a bit more to this, some would have thought the natural choice would be Honduras with the parental heritage and his father being a national team legend. But they are generally a weak program, only qualifying for the World Cup three times ever, and failed to qualify for this year's U17 World Cup. Their program is also easily the poorest of the three and doesn't provide the best conditions. He's also received plenty of social media abuse from Honduras fans. Maynor has apparently not pushed him toward Honduras at all.

    Overall his case is interesting because he seems to have real ties to all three countries; none of them are superficial connections.

    He can always change his mind and switch at a later date I'm sure he and his family is aware of this. If his short term ambitious is to play at the U17 World Cup then he'd be stupid to play for anyone other than the US (as European qualification is ridiculously difficult) and as you say Honduras aren't very good.

    Great news if he is thinking of switching. Obviously he's not at the standard of our seniors at the moment, but he looks talented enough that he plausibly could be in the not-too-distant future.

    I think the next few months are really important. Right now, I think only Guimaraes and maybe Joelinton are impossible to displace in Newcastle's midfield, but they're going to be spending again in the next few windows and the bar's only going to get higher. If he can't become at least a semi-regular starter before that happens then he's really going to have to be exceptional to get beyond the fringes.

    I posted a report from the Daily Record in here about a month or two ago which said that he was going to switch so it does look likely but maybe he’s thinking about it. I think he qualifies for the 2025 u21 Euros so he may be looking to that.

    US Soccer released a video this week in which he pretty much definitively says he's picking the USA. His mother has US citizenship and he apparently lived long enough in the US as well. Obviously England could become an option at senior level if he somehow makes a true breakthrough at Liverpool, so what he says now could change. Honduras may not ever be a real option for him because their federation is too poor/limited for a player with ambitions.

    Miscuir has since signed for Liverpool, who do like a Polish goalkeeper (Ojrzynski, Mrozek) but usually recruited them from overseas before Brexit.

    There's a good article on him here (in Polish).

    Says he's recently applied for a British passport & England are interested, although parents say Poland has priority.

    I think Millwall might have similar trouble in keeping hold of Jakub Przewozny, also a British/Polish U16 GK, they've had him training with the first team already (helps that he's pretty big already) but all the big clubs have been after him for a long time.
