Gonna be very interesting to see what happens to him wouldn’t be remotely shocked to see him playing a few games for Wolfsburg next year.  Incidentally Volendam finished 6th in 20/21. Breda finished 6th this season in the same League as if their wasn’t enough similarities.

They're not blessed with many centre backs. They've had to bring in French born Laporte and Le Normand.  You won’t have to worry about Spain! Relax yourself.

It'll be interesting to see if he gets much game time this season at Wolfsburg or if they send him out on loan again.

He has one Irish parent and one who is Catalan or Basque, strongly opposed anyway to him playing for Spain. Like Liam Delap, his parents’ views may mean less to him as he grows up. Spain, like England, is no doubt more attractive for all the obvious reasons. I hope he stays with Ireland, he has looked one of the best underage talents coming through.

Genuine question, is it that much of a devastating loss if he does choose Spain?

But the centre of defence is probably the one position where we're quite stacked with young talent - Collins, O'Shea, Omobamidele. Not to mention Sam Curtis who is only 17 can play there, and Sean Roughan at Lincoln. Not many of them playing at a top league tho, be great to have options playing at a good level

Until he's tied down, we're in the strange position of wanting them to do well but not to the extent where they draw attention from their other nation.  Given the noise from MacNulty about Spain, I would not be surprised in him switching at some point. I think we'll get this U21 campaing out of him but I do not forsee him being capped at senior level until he's in his mid 20s if he does stick with us.   What noise?

He also said that he is very in touch with his Irish roots, even playing hurling with his cousins during visits to his mother's home of Clar That's a Balls.ie article from March. I'm aking where the noise is coming from Spain, i.e Is there any inclination from Spain having any interest in him? Not having a go, just when you said given the noise from Spain, I presumed there was something from a Spanish point of source.
