    For those of you who haven't heard of him, he has been earning rave reviews in Holland where he has grown up, and played for the Netherlands youth teams before, but it looks like he has chosen to play for the country of his father's birth

    Good news for the national team if true

    He plays defensive midfield and defender. Handy to have and hopefully he's decent

    Remind me, but dont rules kick in at under 21 level? Something like the Dutch will have to senior cap him before age 24 or he will be tied to Ireland?

    Or dd I imagine that.

    I think they can change up to the age of 21 unless they've gotten a senior cap.

    Can't hurt. If he ends up properly establishing himself in the Eredivisie it could only be a good thing for the overall squad depth.

    Let's hope he doesn't speak like Steve McLaren....

    Some deadly chants (based on Eve Of Destruction) could be penned if he gets into the team. :D
