WH have a very sizeable contingent of Irish fans. As I understand it, the Ford motor factor in Dagenham had a large number of Irish staff, particularly from Cork and also Dublin. I'd separate the likes of Chelsea, given their links with Rangers etc, and I can really not understand where the draw would be for them. But most other London clubs have a decent Irish following, not least because of the massive diaspora in London. I suppose attending matches is preferable to supporting a club miles away, in another city.

True, and Sean already knows the four other Irish lads at the club around the same age who also joined West Ham from Irish League clubs. He’s got a great chance there, a three year contract and every opportunity to kick on.

London is a far less English place than say cities like Liverpool or Manchester. Lots and lots of diversity and backgrounds which helps young lads coming over. Also one of the best cities in the world live and a sizeable Irish community as well.

Just because he's shagging Danny Dyer's daughter or what?

Learn something new everyday. Also thought he came through the West Ham system. Thought he was younger too and turns 27 in December. |

West Ham U18s won The FAYC last season and also won The U18 PL South.
City beat them 2-1 in the North vs South decider. Maybe Moyes will use some of them next season now that they're in Europe again. Mubamba, 18, made 6 appearances for the first team. |

Callum Marshall (18) made his debut for NI recently, came on as a sub and had what looked like a good goal ruled out by VAR after five minutes. He has a great chance of coming through at West Ham and there are several other lads of similar age from the north who are doing really well. One or two of them might switch their international allegiance down the line. They were all spotted by the same scout, Stephen Whelan, who pushed the boat out to get Sean Moore signed ahead of six or seven other big clubs who were interested. He has outstanding natural talent, hopefully the full-time environment will bring the best out of him.

Not disagreeing with you but maybe none of those lads were good enough? We shall see very soon how Cullen fares at PL level week in week out, but the other three may never see gametime in a match in the PL in their careers, and there's zero evidence to the contrary. |

Its not a great move for him. They'd no real interest in giving their youth players much of a chance, even lat season Coventry only got games in Europe once they were through. Started 3 from 8 and had subs in 2 others. Didnt start in the FA Cup and was taken off after an hour in the League Cup. Cullen was similar before having to look elsewhere. Okoflex and Odubeko were let go this summer with even less of a look in. |

Loads of Irish emigrated to London over the last 60 years so many would have supported London teams.

Or that Irish club up in Scotland that has just been a wonderland of Irish player production in recent years.

I would like liked to see him sign for Brighton, Wolves or Brentford as an example...
Will he get much opportunities with WH?

Bowen is from Herefordshire and came through at Hull. Not West Ham in the slightest as they bought him as a 24 year old. I'm with you about PL academies but if he's good enough he will get good coaching and eventually useful development loans so it's not doom and gloom.

What's their recent record with bringing through youth players. Obviously all comes down to how good the player themselves are but Rice, Johnson, and Bowen are the only three recently off the top of my head that are playing first team with West Ham. |

I hate West Ham, Chelsea, Millwall and all the London teams. Can't understand how anyone Irish can support a London team. Arsenal are the least hatable.
