We don't need people who don't want to play for Ireland. Kevin Kilbane has has this to say:
That's what you want!
A big meh from me.
If anything it's a massive bonus that we won't have to listen to his dad talking shite about stuff he's clearly not clever enough to talk about any more. The fecking eejit.

Was he born and raised in England or Ireland?
No shit Sherlock
The clues in the name.
Born and raised in England, but with Irish grandparents I think.
Why was this a tough decision then?
Played for Ireland at youth team level.
That's just so Irish
Kilbane is very different to Grealish, both his parents are from Ireland unlike Grealish. I think that is a big factor here, Grealish is also clearly a Brummie - makes absolute sense for him to represent England.
He's going to have to do well for himself to get into and stay in the England squad, we have a lot of attacking talent.
This is my point. I don't want him to play for Ireland if his heart isn't in it like Kilbane's was. He should play for England.
You're on fire in this thread.
This is such a non issue, nobody except the media gives a toss. As the poster above said the most notable thing about the lad is that he took ages to decide. He almost as big an attention seeker as his father.
I think Kevin Kilbane is one of the nicest men ever. Terribly frustrating footballer though.
I just feel for the lad who lost his place to Jack while he was parading as Irish in the under 21s.
I feel for all the lads who lost their places whilst countless players played for Northern Irish youth teams only to feck off to the Irish Republic.
Ah well....
Rattled
We took him gladly, too late to be bitter now. He was great at underage and arguably improved the lads who played with him. Stop the drama.
We live in a multi-national world, people can have two countries in their hearts.
You are consistently rubbish.Rattled
Another automaton.
In this company you are a relative visionary, the Nelson Mandela of the Jack Grealish thread.
Am I supposed to care, Moses?
So Jack Grealish wants England. Do England want Jack Grealish?
Current form would suggest not.

Well you whined and begged with dignity of a crack addict last time you were quality controlled, but who knows, you may have had some testicles surgically attached in the meantime.
I'm not complaining, I'm just sick of people holding 'convenient' and hypocritical opinions. You, like many are on the complete opposite side of the same argument depending on which way the player moves.
Quality controlled
I was having a little bit of a joke, bit of craic with someone in this thread. What's the problem?!
Using that line of thinking, one could argue that the utility gained by each of his 10 teammates by playing with a superior player in combination exceeds the negativity utility of the one who lost his spot.thus the overall happiness of the group increased at the time.
Of course this isnt about the lad who lost his place. Playing for Ireland at youth team level shows that he does have some affinity for his Ireland, he might just prefer England more, for whatever reason.
We should just play him under a different name. I used to do it all the time with the local team. Just stick his brothers name on the team sheet. Nobody will know............
They'll get suspicious when he spells his name Kevan and think he is some idiot who doesn't even know how to spell his own name.
Good point to be fair. Just a shame he decided that he'd have a change of heart when it mattered.
Or it will take him ages to remember who is supposed to be when getting book. I'm eh.....Wayne Grealish.....

That's a pity. Hopefully he can make England's next training session.
Any man that didn't nail his colours to a mast within a few minutes of coming out of his mothers box can fck off in my book.
His international clearance hasn't come through yet
Indeed.
Would have been good for Ireland, not good enough for England though imo.
