Cole dasilva on the bench for Brentford today It was Josh Dasilva not Cole. I don't think Cole has featured for the Brentford first team yet. Nope he definitely hasn’t that’s why I got excited. Silly me obviously it was Josh.... chalk it up to being tired watching at 00:20 Aus time |

Have we ever pursued Jay Da Silva at Bristol City? His brother Cole is without a club after being released from Brentford B and has played for the Welsh youth sides.
Is Jay eligible?

All eligible - I'd imagine a pursuit would have occurred whilst he was really young as his brother joined our setup. All 3 would have been approached at the same time. Jay is the best player of the three and chose to stick with England and played with them right through to U21s looking like he'd eventually migrate to the senior side. Since he's gone past the age of eligibility for their youth sides he's probably waiting for his career to kick on, hoping to get into the Premier League & then the England side. If his career continues to stall perhaps a 2nd approach would be worth it. He certainly would suit our wing back formation. For now, I'd imagine it's a no go. He obviously doesn't feel that connected to us either way so it's possibly never going to be an option

dragonsoccerAfter discussion in the Brennan Johnson thread about eligibility we discussed the Munir situation about being ineligible for Morocco. As per the article below, he was deemed ineligible for Morocco due to playing for Spain U21s at the Euros after turning 21 years old Does this ruling mean that Jay Dasilva is in fact ineligible for us due to the fact that 1) he played for England U21s at the 2019 Euros, and 2) was 21 at the time Is this rule different with the home nations or is he now ineligible to your knowledge? www.google.com/amp/s/amp.thenewstribune.com/sports/article247010597.html

I just found out for what it’s worth that there’s actually 4 Dasilva brothers.
The oldest brother is Ryan Dasilva currently at Aylesbury.
Not the most fascinating news I know

My reading of it , but waiting for confirmation on the exact ruling regarding Jay DaSilva
The Fifa Congress approved a rule change which will give players greater scope to switch national teams.
"Players can now represent a 2nd national team, provided they meet eligibility criteria and have played no more than 3 matches for the first national team at senior level with all the appearances coming before the player turns 21
Appearances in World Cup finals matches or continental finals (UEFA) such as the European Championships would also prohibit a player from switching, but appearing in a tournament qualifier would not"
So the UEFA U21 2019 finals would count against DaSilva ?
to note England only played 3 matches in the UEFA U21 finals in 2019
so does U21 finals have the 3 competitive matches rule in place?
does a UEFA U21 finals count as being senior level?

I'm guessing it does once you turn 21 if it rules Munir out. |

I'm guessing it does once you turn 21 if it rules Munir out. He did only play 1 game in that tournament, but he was 21 so it sounds to me that based on the Munir ruling Dasilva would be otied to England, in the same way Munir is tied to Spain now |

20 Year old Cole Dasilva playing for LCFC u23 now, to be honest i may of written him off to early. Things didn’t work out for him at Brentford B, nor did they over in america. Hopefully this shot at leicester gives him a chance to revive his old potential and get up to the level of brother Jay. Cole has always been very talented and it was disappointing to see things hadn’t worked out recently, But now has a massive opportunity to work towards a top professional career.

remind me... is Cole a rightback or a leftback like Jay?
is there much chance of Jay getting a call? he must be mid 20s and a regular championship player so must have been on Wales' radar for a while.

Yes that’s right. Jay’s only 22/23 however. He’d be an excellent addition but I think that ship has probably sailed. He must’ve been asked several times before I’d imagine. Unless he’s in the training camp squad meeting up tomorrow! Very much doubt it though. Hope the training squad list gets released though. Speaking of left backs, wonder if Harry Pickering is a) eligible b) on the training camp radar. |

Thanks for clarifying. I'd imagine Jay's desire would have been to play for England and would have felt like a strong possibility given England had a lack of options at LB and getting promoted with Bristol would have put him in the frame. Now that Chilwell & Shaw have kicked on, and Cresswell, Justin and Saka make viable backup options he may now feel his chances are lesser I personally would be happy for him to be involved as he has never publicly rejected us, and I think he's exactly what we need. An attacking LB who can also play LWB and is a bit better than RND at the moment That being said if he feels English then I respect his decision |

Reported by DS Signed for HNK Sibenik in Croatian first tier. Guess it's a bit of a last chance chance saloon for him, given he's now 22. Although I think it's actually a really positive move. Croatian league is a better standard than people think, and IF he gets game time he may well improve significantly |

Croatian league is a better standard than people think, and IF he gets game time he may well improve significantly Agreed. Step in the right direction but felt it could have been done sooner. 22 and he could have well had almost over 100 senior games under his belt if he prioritised game time. There's still time to turn things round and hopefully he can have a decent career regardless |

There's still time to turn things round and hopefully he can have a decent career regardless Has been released by this Croatian club, and ended up at Oxford City in the National League South (6th tier). Looks unlikely he'll make it back up to international level for us Jay Dasilva's career hasn't really kicked on either. He's 24 and hasn't looked any more than a Championship player. He's probably not that much different in ability to RND these days I guess the great Welsh/Brazilian/English mix never amounted to the perfect footballer like we all thought it would! |

Jay Dasilva still a starter at Championship level, but doesn't look like he'll ever kick on to be good enough for England. Still eligible for us, I wonder if he'll ever consider declaring for us?
There's an argument to say that he starts for us as a LWB in RND's absence if he were called up
