Vera Pauw could be ready to bring in fresh Irish-eligible players to help boost the Republic of Ireland's World Cup chances.Last month the manager revealed that she'd been contacted by some previously uncapped players in the wake of Ireland's qualification for the finals."It's funny, when you qualify, suddenly there is a lot of players with Irish backgrounds," she said. "They email you and they weren't emailing you before you qualified.
But there are players that we're really looking into."In the wake of Ireland's 4-0 friendly defeat of Morocco on Monday evening, Pauw admitted she will explore every possibility in terms of introducing new blood - but warned that anyone coming in must prove they're capable of improving a tight-knit squad."One already had done everything herself and was claiming her passport without involvement from us," she replied when asked if any new faces had been knocking on the door."She's a player who really, really wants to play and her family are all here, all born here.
But that passport didn’t come through, it was somewhere in the post so she couldn’t come. She could have come later but the jet lag obviously wouldn’t have helped."Another player we had some issues with eligibility, a player that is now injured and coming back."But what I said before, we only go for the players who have shown that they want to play for Ireland.
They all have their passports or are doing that themselves. We have been in contact with a few players but this camp it was impossible to bring them in."We will only bring them in if we feel they are better than what we have.
