    Good for him. Personally I've never felt like I'd want to represent anyone but Wales, but I've never been good enough to have that opportunity!

    I think he'll end up representing Wales, he's from here, played through our youth groups and it looks like a lot of his mates from those teams will be forming a big chunk of our squads in the next few years (Kpakio, Lawlor, Crew etc), but if he doesn't then its not the end of the world

        pretty much the same type of vibe reading the Canadian web site



        haven't played a senior competitive game at international level yet so gaining good experience

          Man Utd didn't select him either, and they've taken a bunch of kids on tour with them.

            Re: Wales squad for June

            Canada have the upcoming Gold Cup which count as competitive internationals and most of their European players won't be attending, so great chance for him to get a competitive cap if he so chooses. Although somebody on another thread informed me the rules have changed slightly there and you now aren't tied with a single competitive cap any more.

            It seems a little odd that we'd include Kpakio in a squad but not the highly rated Bianchieri if that's the case, not taking anything away from Ronan. But such is life, we've probably obsessed over far too many highly rated youngsters who have been nothing at 21 like they were supposed to be at 16, both for City and Wales.

              I think Bellamy is right to focus on Koumas at this moment in time.

                The report that Mozzer linked says: "While Biancheri won’t be playing for Canada in the coming weeks..."

                  He's certainly got far more of a path to playing time for Wales than Canada reading that article, so that's a positive. Jonathan David is a real elite talent and will be moving to a big team this summer. Not sure the same is true for Mark Harris.

                    Biancheri needs to play 3 times for Canada to be tied to them

                        There's a chance Biancheri isn't THAT highly rated tbf

                          I don't think its a choice between those 2, different positions

                            I’ve not been over impressed by Biancheri when I’ve seen him play for Wales age group teams.

                            Odd that no one seems to want to talk about the City player who Bellamy said he would have picked in the senior squad in March at 17 if he hadn’t not been injured.

                              Here he is, right on cue, the chairman of the fan club (mine and the player’s). Fear not, I won’t even mention his name again until August. I’m going to do what the manager of Wales does - forget about him.

                                A bit difficult when hardly any of us have seen him play. Good luck to him though.
