Ronald Villiers Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Christ, Davie comes from Falkirk, near where I stay. I've seen him out and about when I've been out with the dog a loads of times. I've known who he is for years, he's always been a very nice guy. I never knew he had a laddie that played for England. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd be worth a chat if I'm right He’s played for England’s U20s but yeah his grandad is Scottish so he is eligible. He’s 24 now so in the next wee while it’s likely he will realise he might not get a game for England and we might be able to convince him to play for Scotland.

JackLadd Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 1 league appearance and he's worth 500k? He will not kick a ball for Brighton. Meanwhile Laurent Robert's kid signs for The Diamonds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from karamanko dembele didn’t know there were potential Scottish players in English ranks Not too much, there are some but the other one I can remember is Luis Binks, an 18 year old midfielder who was at Tottenham but now at Montreal impact in MLS and playing games for them. He was a Scotland youth player but moved to England U18s. Harvey Barnes of Leicester is eligible for Scotland, though he will probably be a very tough one to recruit. As someone else said, Che Adams is another. I do think the SFA need to scour the youth teams of other nations to find eligable Scottish players, I know people get angry at players whose only connection to Scotland is grandparents not getting a game but I will take whatever talent we can find.

Tommy Brown Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Jamie Paterson has scored a couple of raspers for Bristol City in the last two games. Both parents are Scottish. He has let it be known he would love to play for Scotland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meanwhile Laurent Robert's kid signs for The Diamonds. First league appearance as a 15yr old! Then 3 more this year for 1st team at 18. Clearly has talent, and has been scouted by some top teams. Not just being signed as he is Davie's son, but it will have given Brighton an advantage in getting him for sure.

The kid was born in and obviously lives in England. Also at that age where is the harm in playing for other countries - it’s not a future commitment. The England set up is likely light years ahead of ours, he will also be playing with better players.

Also as I said he’s not made a commitment to England yet but receiving better training and by playing with better players it may benefit Scotland in the long term - if he commits to us. On another thread there’s a discussion about how good English youngsters are looking - maybe our (potential) youths can benefit from the training they receive. Gilmour being a prime current example.

Just read that he’s played for our u16/17 and their u17/18. He will need to be good to make it for them, as you say there are loads of great players coming through just now. These youngsters are probably better off down there learning their trade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
