Declan Rice is on the bench for West Ham's pre-season friendly in America tonight. Only 17 years old too. No Josh Cullen, he was seen during the first few days of pre-season in America but hasn't been seen since. Linked with a loan back to Bradford.

Good stuff. I'd love to see some of these lads - also Josh Cullen, Harry Charsley and Liam Kelly - picked, even in a developmental capacity, in the squad for the friendlies against Mexico and Uruguay (I know Kelly was in the last squad). If we insist on skewering our rankings doing the friendlies, we might as well try to use them to expand the squad and identify a few prospects.

Tried to take a leaf out of Adrian's book midway through the first half by dribbling the ball out of his box and nearly losing it. Unlucky nto to keep out Deslandes first half header for Wolves. Stunning double save after half time kept the Hammers in it at the time. < id="google_ads__/5293/football.london/west-ham-united-fc/fixtures-results_2" title="3rd party ad " name="google_ads__/5293/football.london/west-ham-united-fc/fixtures-results_2" width="8px" height="8px" scrolling="no" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" border="0" style=": transparent; border-width: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: bottom;"> Started the game very confidently but was soon being pushed further and further deeper by Wolves left winger Will Randall. Bombed forward after the break but didn't get much change out of goalscorer Deslandes. Fantastic delivery from the left hand side all night long, just no-one got on the end of it. Rampaged forward and very sound defensively but positionally suspect at times. Declan Rice Superb performance from the skipper, the best Hammers player on the park by a mile. Led the team by example, some timely interceptions and his positioning was spot on all night. Bright future ahead. Looked nervy in the first half but improved dramatically after the break. Was relatively untroubled after half time. Another player guilty of wanting too long on the ball and gave it away too often, especially early on. Stamped his authority on the game towards the end of the first half and throughout the second. Good shift. A bit of a passenger before half time, improved slightly in the second but nowhere near his dominant best. Poor first half, barely got involved and was extremely lazy with possession. Moved out to the wing in the second half from a more central position, didn't fare much better. Tried too many tricks when the simple stuff was needed. Showed brilliant composure to stroke home late winner from the spot. Guilty of being very lackadaiscal with the ball and too lightweight with it. Unsurprisingly subbed after 72 minutes following an ineffective display. The diminuitive winger barely got a kick all game and was hooked off on 72 minutes. Flirted in and out of the game. Barely figured for the first 15 minutes, then was everywhere. Went quiet at the start of the second half Superb cross for his fellow substitute to score the equaliser. Just the impact Terry Westley would have wanted when he replaced Kemp. Stooped brilliantly for the winner then outpaced the defender to win the late penalty. Brilliant, brilliant impact. ------------- "I'm off to see the Queen tomorrow too, don't forget that" |

You reckon? I'm not so sure we should be going this route of capping any young lad for the sake of it because he has dual nationality. I mean look Declan Rice is obviously a very good prospect but you're looking at Josh Cullen who played 40+ plus games for Bradford this season and has now seen a kid with 1 first team appearance under his belt and Kevin Long who was getting called up after 3 appearances for Burnley. I'll go back to Seanie Maguire, forget about what he did or didn't do at Dundalk or Sligo, we are lacking big time in the striker department and we have a clinical young striker on our hands who we won't even be entertained for extended international squads. In a nutshell, it's not going to having an earth shattering impact by having Rice in the squad but going forward players should be capped (if he gets a run) on merit not just because another country could be sniffing around.

*McCLean I agree though, and it is hardly massive who is the 37th or 38th member of the squad anyway but we are all screaming for an inclusion of someone from left-field and when he does we complain because it isn't who we want. I have always believed that the Irish manager should not be reliant on second opinions from club managers, our playing pool is too small for that, and this might be a case of MON seeing something in a young fella that is worth fast tracking into the squad, or solely as potential we need to make feel welcome before his head is turned. I am quite happy with either reason. More importantly, does anybody know where the lad actually plays? Is he a full back? ------------- Greed has won, big finance has won.

Well I am sure. We don't have to look too hard to find an example of why that tactic is clever. Not that I think he's been called in for that specifically. Everyone up in arms over our striker situation, you'd swear we were strong defensively! We're not!! Good idea to bring in new players, see if they can strengthen us at all. Rice is gonna go from strength to strength. I enjoy your contributions GD I have to say, but sometimes I find that you're guilty of' short-termism', you don't look at the bigger picture. Btw you mentioned Cullen, he's recently spoken of his pride at being made captain of our U21s; I wouldn't worry about him either. ------------- "I'm off to see the Queen tomorrow too, don't forget that" |

In regard to capping young players with dual nationality I have strong feelings about it, you only know too well about my thoughts on Grealish when he was doing well for Notts County. Granted it's an extended panel, but it feels as if we're just throwing lads like Rice in so his head won't be turned by England? ------------- "He drives two Ferraris; I think he's a very lucky lad to have 50 caps for Ireland," Eamonn Dunphy on Glenn Whelan |

Rooney, Sheridan and Sean Maguire are arguably the only 3 strikers that I can think of under 30 (McGoldrick is 30 in a few months) and none of these look to be in the thoughts of O'Neill. After this campaign, we will probably lose Walters, Murphy, and Doyle and Long will be nearly 32! We have approx 8 centre halves to choose from, the priority is absolutely a striker. ------------- It was far across the sea, When the devil got a hold of me, He wouldn't set me free, So he kept me soul for ransom. na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na.

To makes this worse, Sheridan will be a few months short of 30 when we start our next campaign. Rooney will already be 30 when we start next campaign. The long term striker situation is very dire indeed. |

In Rice's case he seems proud to represent us on behalf of his Corkonian grandparents and comes across as a decent chap. Getting him in the squad now is fine by me. I think it is better to make sure we keep our top prospects than to lose them. Wales are capping lads at 16 just to ward of England.

If we were naming 23 man squads and there were a load of "carrot caps" consistently being thrown in ahead of more deserving players, then I think you could justifiably complain about it. However seeing as MON operates via a 637 man provisional squad, there's really no downside to using a few of the spots to help sway young, talented players. The cost is very low in comparison to the potential long-term benefit. ------------- We're decent enough.. |

Perhaps in a similar vein to Rice's call-up, Wales have continued their practice of calling up young, multi-eligible players to their senior squad. Gethin Jones of Everton called up amid reported interest from Australia, and 16 year old Exeter defender Ethan Ampadu (eligible for ourselves and England) also makes the cut. Coleman has consistently done this during his time as Wales manager, and you get the sense it's because he has a vested interest in the national team that extends beyond his short-term position as manager. ------------- We're decent enough.. |
Posted By: Conan
Date Posted: 25 May 2017 at 3:04pm
In Wales case I think its more that a 16 year old Exeter City players is genuinely one of their best centre back options. They've also picked Welsh born lower division players like Lockyer and Walsh whereas we already have around 8 centre backs playing regularly at premiership or championship level.

Ampadu plays as a holding midfielder normally. His Dad played for Belvo and for Ireland at U21. I can't help but feel we've missed a trick with him. Delighted to see Rice called up. That's a good move by MON with a view to the long-term. Would like to see the West Ham lad Josh Cullen given a spot as well in what is a very provisional squad after the season he's had on-loan at Bradford.

Posted By: grannyrule
Date Posted: 27 May 2017 at 1:25pm
As would I, but the reason I'm guessing that he is not called up is because we cannot lose him. He cannot switch back to England as he already played U16 for them before then switching to us. ------------- The only way is up |

Declan has been left out of the squad for Mexico & isn't flying to the USA. This could be one of 4 things. 1- MON has had a look at him, brought him into the squad for a bit of experience, maybe thinks he isn't ready yet and feels it mightn't be in the players best interest to go to the USA not to play any part in the game. He will likely have sent him away and promised him if he gets playing footall regularly, he will be back, ie encouraging the youngfella. 2- He is injured. Probably not, we would have heard about it. 3- He is starting centre midfield & Captain V Austria, and is being left behind to ,ake sure he isn't injured for the vital game. 4- And really, this must be it- He has had a big falling out with MON/Roy/FAI, and is now declaring for Engalnd. This involved a careful, strategic campaign of head turning and putting bad ideas in the young lad's head about Ireland, involving Bilic, Sullivan, Gold, Karen Brady, Andy Carroll, Tony Cottee, Alan Devonshire, Frank McAvennie, Billy Bonds, Frank Lampard Snr, Southgate, Stephen Ireland, Roberto Martinez, Scott Hogan's agent & Jack Grealish's oul fella.

Went on a bit of a run through the middle and didn't seem fazed at all in possession. He's mainly a central defender? Seemed to be playing in a holding midfield position. ------------- Wings? They're only the band The Beatles could have been. |
