Respectfully, a lot of lads at that age accept every invite they get- gets them exposure, additional credit at their clubs and gives them a chance to improve and get more gametime. Every 17 year old is saying yes to this offer. Every one of them is using it to better their chances of making it. Grealish, rice and countless others have done the same. As for allegiance, I wouldn’t bank on it just yet, but hopefully someday

After Man United played Brondby in the CL back in the late 90s and Brian Moore pronounced them as 'Brondboo' for both legs, they shall always be Brondboo to me.
That is all.

You'll be pleased to hear that's actually the correct pronunciation in Danish. Source: I live in Brøndby

Training camps are unofficial so anyone can partake, there have actually been underage lads who have been part of training camps who later turned out to be not eligible.
Great to see he is interested anyway, if he gets the call up in sure he'll officially transfer. If not then he might hang with NI for another while (unless they are pissed off enough to stop calling him up)
Its an incredibly difficult midfield to get into imo (those listed beyond Joel McPhail are eligible but not officially declared)
