Excellent. Sounds quality. Been too long since we've had young Irish talent to get excited about.
Sam Byrne was quite impressive with us, and then he was randomly released in May 2014. He's at Everton now.
His record at all Irish youth levels is very good. Hopefully he can move on from Everton soon and get back on track. He's 21 now.
City have two good prospects in Jack Byrne (who impressed on loan in Holland last season) and Ian Lawlor. Two young Dubs.
Christoper Forrester (23 and captain of Peterborough) only made the move to England last summer and is captain already.
These are the type of lads that O'Neill should be calling up for friendlies and looking to integrate into the squad, as the likes of Walters, Murphy, Whelan and even Wes won't be around by the time of the next World Cup. We need to phase them out over the next 12 months.
