Scott Banks Would 100% improve the squad. As with the Mullin debate and proof with j Williams and Gunter playing at league 2 could be deemed irrelevant. He's an out and out attacking mid. A great option from the bench if someones in a deep role. He's different from other players. I also highly doubt he will be league 2 next season He'll be 22 in September and plays at a lower level than many of our u21s, nevermind the seniors. You may rate him but there's no evidence he'd 100% improve the squad This idea the level is irrelevant is ridiculous, it's a clear indicator of quality. We all know Gunter & Jonny weren't really there on merit but even then they had the pedigree of playing and performing at higher levels So if Mo Salah has a choice of joining Barcelona or a Saudi team is he instantly worse because it's a lower level? Using a Welsh example if Joe Taylor , Owen Beck and Aaron Collins joined Wrexham tomorrow and turned down championship moves it doesn't make the worse players it just means they've joined a lower level. For Wales we can have no ego. We obviously at times have better options playing in league 1 over a championship option. We literally have at least ten players in the championship that have never had a cap and players playing beneath that level in the squad. So no it's not ridiculous, I'm not saying pick league 2 players over premiership players. Smaller nations will have non obvious options scattered around the lower levels and that's just the way it is. If I think Scott Banks would make a 26 man squad slightly better (although sadly no chance of him switching) I'm not saying "drop Harry Wilson immediately there's a lad at Bradford" I'm saying there's a decent player there for our options. |

The difference is proving that you can do it at a higher, more difficult level, it's not a difficult concept. If you have someone who scored 10 in League 1 and someone who scored 10 in League 2, it's fair to say the League 1 player is better as he's playing against better players and getting the same results as someone playing against worse players. Therefore when picking players for an international squad the level is entirely relevant as it's an indicator of a player's quality. To say the level is irrelevant is ridiculous, sorry. |

Playing football manager. Player that came on the radar is Jonny Smith. Ex-Wrexham born in Liverpool. He's just signed for Wigan Athletic. Doing some digging online and can't find anything other than he's eligible for Ireland too.

Doing some digging online and can't find anything other than he's eligible for Ireland too. His wiki says he joined the Wrexham academy aged 10, so it's likely that he'd meet the 5 years schooling criteria if he moved here when he signed. It's possible that it's just Football Manager being wrong and giving him Welsh nationality because his surname is Smith & he played for Wrexham - they're not always right dragonsoccer happen to know if Jonny Smith at Wigan has been checked out? |

We all know Gunter & Jonny weren't really there on merit but even then they had the pedigree of playing and performing at higher levels Just signed on loan with St.Pauli. Now playing at a higher level than the players in our squad who play in league 1 or the SPL. Perhaps he's worth monitoring for now. We can't say Savage in league 1 is a better prospect though because better the league = better the player  |

Kane Vidmar. 19 year old centre back at Western United in the A-League. Australian youth international.
Ex Cardiff City player Tony Vidmars son. Transfermarkt says Kane was born in Cardiff - any idea if true?

Callum doyle of Coventry? Highly rated 19 year old centre half. Eligible on FM and seen a lot of talk about it on Twitter Was this ever confirmed either way? Playing for Leicester against Cardiff today |

Callum Doyle, no confirmed info, but does not look likely
which in imo could mean
No interest from player to represent Wales (if eligible)
or no Wales heritage

Suggestion on Twitter that Cardiff's Andy Rinomhota is eligible for Wales through his mother
He's shit, but that's another potential midfield option

No one really knows where that came from it seems dragonsoccer has Andy Rinomhota been checked out by the FAW? |

Any chance of Adam Mayor from Morecambe being eligible? Exciting young talent, just been called up to England under 20s squad and believe he was born just over the boarder around the Wirral so could be a chance.

Going off of the surname here - Isaac Hughes, 15 year old made his debut for Forest Green Rovers last night. Is he eligible? From
a quick social media stalk he follows a couple of Wales orientated accounts.

Keep the names coming though, always worth asking the question. |

Any idea if Luke Armstrong the lad Wrexham failed to sign is eligible?
Dad called Alun and a brother called Rhys. Surely got to be some Welsh connection there?

Wrexham AFC are pleased to announce Aaron James has signed his first professional contract with the Football Club. Defender James, 16, follows Wrexham AFC Youth team-mates Tom Jenkins, Will Mountfield, Dan Jones and Kai Evans in signing his first professional contract with the club – each having signed 18-month contracts. And on penning a professional deal, he said: “It’s really exciting. I’m very proud of what I’ve achieved over the last couple of years. “Half of my family is Welsh so they’re really proud that I’ve signed at a Welsh club, and I’m really proud of myself to have achieved so much.

Makes sense if he's a centre back because, although he got himself into some great positions, his crossing was pretty hopeless |
