Time For Trundle?

**livehead1** · 10/09/2005, 7:52 PM

lee trundle seems to have stepped up a division with no problems at all....
i spoke to a swansea fan the other day and asked about lee trundle. he said hes been his "usual self" pulling tricks out the back and more importantly he now has 5 goals in the 6 games he has played this season. what more must he do to get noticed? hes obviously loyal 2 swansea but surely deserves a chance in a meaningless friendly?

Kerr is supposed to have told him last season that if he was in a higher division, he would be called into the squad.

I don't think we should be calling him up for the Cyprus/Switzerland games just yet, League 1 is no comparison to international level. Depending on who the spring friendlies are against, and where Swansea are in the divison, he may be called up for one of them - Rowlands made his debut against Romania after QPR had clinched promotion from League 1

If Gary Doherty can get into the Ireland squad,Trundle should be captain.

In that case it's time to bring back Richie Foran.

Lee Trundle is English, 29 and a player who likes to showboat, the sheer lunacy of even thinking of Trundle...

....bullsh*t....typical people who label a player english as he was born in that country....numerous times on here it has been pointed out that trundle has always considered himself irish, the man said himself that when he was younger he was always wearing the latest ireland shirt and was never interested in much english. so get of ya fu*king high horse and learn the facts before making statements such as that.
secondly...a player who likes to showboat, now correcte me if im wrong but he scored around 25 goals in each othe last few seasons and i must correct myself from earlier...trundle has 5 goals in 5 games. tell me another irish striker with that record? we have 'strikers' who cant get games and cant score goals, and indeed some who aint even strikers!

Trundle is not up to international standard at all. Lets not forget that league 2 have 48 league games.. lower level, more games.. its bound to distort his record in comparison to premiership players

All this talk about trundle - f**k that, Doyle deserves to be in the squad before him

**livehead1** · 11/09/2005, 10:01 AM

doyle...also a player not playing at the highest standard in england. i saw the game against france under 21's and he didnt stand out AT ALL. also, he has only played around 5 games in england at a level higher than the EL

So your argument for trundle goes totally out the window

**thejollyrodger** · 11/09/2005, 10:11 AM

no way. league 1 is too low. Bring on some of the EL players FFS.

no, im stating the point that doyle deserves a call up no more than lee trundle. trundle has achieved more. won divisions player of the year last season. he will get a move jan.

if he was any good he would have loads of clubs chasing him regardless of how loyal he is to swansea. he might have scored loads of goals but he is playing in a **** league.

A lot of people in England would have said the same about Doyle last season

Quite obviously you need to check your facts.

**Lionel Ritchie** · 11/09/2005, 3:57 PM

I don't see what Trundle brings to the party that Connolly doesn't.

Also ...little point calling him up when BK wont give Steven Elliot a run.

Wouldn't be too suprised if he tried his 4-5-1 for the Cypriots ...or as wasteful -put Duffer up front with Robbie.

Except Doyle was prolific in Europe and for the Irish U21s.

I dont think that was Qwerty intention.I am sure not many people even on this site have heard of this chap Trundle and if you attempt to confirm his nationality and complete a Google search it declares him as Liverpool born and English.
