Man U and Barca have been chasing him for ages aswell. I'd say he'll be a great player for Ireland if he lives up to the hype.

He turned down a move to Liverpool last summer because he felt it was too soon. But he said he enjoyed his trial there so hopefully we can sign him in the summer. A lot of people obviously think he has something special

Dont worry, he doesnt play in England...therfore he isnt worthy of multiple threads.

my friend reffed his u-19 debut (i think) for ireland and said he didnt see anything special but he played well. Liverpool and hamilton have been saying great things about and fair play to him for turning down a big move for regular football and all.

hope we see something from him in the next few years in the Irish set up too..

Hes only played for our underagers. iirc he is still Scotland senior eligible should he choose to do so.
