Believe Dennis Cirkin of Spurs turned down the opportunity to be involved. He's Dublin born but raised in England and has been playing internationally for them.

Very promising squad. You would think some of these players could feature for the U19's in July.
Goalkeepers: Caoimhin Kelleher (Liverpool), Conor Kearns (UCD AFC). Defenders: Darragh Leahy (Bohemians), Conor Masterson (Liverpool), Dara O’Shea (West Bromwich Albion), Liam Scales (UCD AFC), Lee O’Connor (Manchester United), Tyreke Wilson (Manchester City), Canice Carroll (Brentford). Midfielders: Jayson Molumby (Brighton and Hove Albion), Conor Coventry (West Ham United), Jason Knight (Derby County), Connor Ronan (Wolverhampton Wanderers), Neil Farrugia (UCD AFC), Stephen Mallon (Sheffield United), Zach Elbouzedi (Waterford), Simon Power (Norwich City), Jack Taylor (Barnet), Jamie Lennon (St. Patrick’s Athletic). Forwards: Adam Idah (Norwich City), Aaron Drinan (Ipswich Town, on loan at Waterford), Aaron Connolly (Brighton and Hove Albion). |

Read on an English fan forum that they are now unsure if he was ever eligible for England in the first place due to his omission from their 17s squad. Residency rule is five years and it’s not clear if he was in England for five years. Correct me if I’m wrong, but Okoflex has never played a competitive game for England and has played at levels such as under-15s and 16s. Seeing as he now plays in Scotland he might not ever be eligible for England through residency. |

They were tricolours but not Irish flags as they had Celtic crests on them. I saw Karamoko Dembele with one too and he definitely (unfortunately) isn't eligible.

I had a discussion with a few lads on here about his eligibility a good while back, no one seems to be able to nail down exactly Okoflex moved to England. He only turned 17 in March and has been at Celtic since September. Did he really move to Arsenal aged 11? In my own opinion I reckon the Brits know he’s not eligible and are probably not too happy that he moved to Scotland meaning he can’t build up the five years.

Still a very strong squad though, especially when you consider the amount of guys left out through injury etc.
Taylor is an interesting one, just looking on wikipedia and he has played over 80 games for them which is good going for a 20 year old. Interestingly he has a brother there who seems to be a regular too, and is only 1 year older. Edited by The O'Shea - 21 May 2019 at 3:59pm |

That was Dembele and not Armstrong Oko-flex? It's also possible it was the Ivory Coast flag too! considering his parents are from there and he's related to the Toure brothers too. He's going to be some talent. |

Jack Taylor seems to be a new recruit.
He's English born - has he played for us at any level before?

Residency rule can only apply after a player reaches 18, of which they then have to live there continuously for 5 years. If he was to stay in Scotland from now until he 23, he'd be eligible for them. |

The UK associations operate off a different rule; they don't recognise "5 years of residency" as qualifying a player, but rather require "5 years of schooling" in the requisite jurisdiction. That's why the likes of Almunia and so on never became eligible for England. By that same token, Okoflex will never be eligible for Scotland, but he might be eligible for England depending on how long he attended school there.

Inter Milan Primavera's season will still be ongoing in or around the time of the tournament I believe.

The Brit's have been debating this since Okoflex and a few others were not named in their squad for competitive under-17s games. There are several players in their under-15/16 teams who have been schooled in England for 2-4 years and are on the verge of being eligible for competitive games. As you said, some of these lads will never actually ever become eligible for England, as they may move abroad before they reach five school years. You can read their discussion here: http://www.bigsoccer.com/threads/england-u-17-discussions-thread-3.1775615/page-271#post-37630561 There's a decent chance that Okoflex hasn't met the five school years I think. He left for Scotland in September for a start - which rules out last year as counting, and it's probably likely he left Dublin half way through a term. If he moved over in 2013, there's every chance that years 2013 and 2018 don't count as they wouldn't have been full years. Anyone know when exactly he moved over? EDIT: According to Brits forum, he moved to Arsenal from Kevins in November of 2013. Very likely he isn't eligible for them. Edited by Maccatacca - 21 May 2019 at 5:42pm |
