[QUOTE="Groundhog, post: 884282, member: 50079"] If he was IQ, which it appears he is definitely not. Actively scouting schoolboy competitions for players with no connection to the country is what rankles with me. Academy spots are by nature limited, so I would much rather they take a risk on a local player they've doubtlessly seen a lot more of in Senior Cups etc. Honestly, I was not a fan of signing Parker and McCarthy because they were average speculative signings who had already represented another nation underage, but at least they're IQ right here right now and had a bit of international honours pedigree to speak of. Have heard McCarthy is unlikely to make the cut and as Muff said Parker will make some 23's, but is a squad player at best. Wootton to be fair contacted the Irish set up and worked through the Exiles program, not to mention being a very good signing [/QUOTE]
