 Topic: Barry Maguire
Posted: 14 Jul 2008 at 7:02am |
Ireland coach Wim Koevermans has targeted coaxing striker Barry Maguire back to the Irish fold after the 18-year-old represented Holland for the past two years.
Maguire played for Ireland at under-15 level before moving to Holland throwing in his lot with the country of his mother’s birth and Koevermans knows just how good the young striker is.
The 18-year-old has recently signed for FC Utrecht from Den Bosch and he is rated very highly in the Netherlands having played 70 times for the Dutch first division side.
“Maybe we can bring him back to Ireland, but it is his decision. I will definitely have a call with him. Barry showed me when he played for Holland against Ireland that he was a very good player,” said Koevermans.
Maguire can still switch nationality, but he must do so before he turns 20 in October next year and Koevermans is eager to make his move before then.

Well he does know everything to be fair. Milla, no doubt you'll be told you're WRONG about him!
A Barry Maguire playing for Holland just doesnt sound right at all. Even if he did move to be with his ma, he could certainly still put a green jersey on....has to be much more to this story...

Yeah he's a traitor. Throw him in the same fire as Stephen Ireland, Roy Keane etc etc.
You know what i find funny about this. Stans 1st press conference he talked about the granny rule etc etc and we laughed at him.

I've heard of the name previously (on the FAI site, i think), but cant claim to know much about him.
I'm 99.9% sure that he's actuctally Dutch born and bred but his old fella is Irish. Even so, thats no excuse for him not to be wearing the green. Cop on Barry!

I only said the above if the reason for him stopping to play for Ireland was if he moved away from the country.
If Stiofain's theory is correct about him actually being Dutch then it makes more sense. However, we wont know until soccerc logs on of course

Lads we can't be too hard on the lad for throwing in his lot with Holland, we don't know the circumstances of why he did it. Let's not be all judgemental on that, he's entitled to do what he did.
