4.5 m bid from M'boro, but Celtic are trying to put a deal together too!

hmmm, 4.5 mil is an awful lot in fairness for a first division club to be paying.

**shakermaker1982** · 01/09/2009, 11:55 AM

yeah your right Paul but then again Huth went for 5 million and you only get 3 games a year out of him!

If SSL is injured I'd go with that too. No Foley or McShane to complicate selection.

Teflon Don may well recommend Nolan though.

Kelly is no good - in fact it is very dangerous to play him - he is a liability
~O Dea (if called up) to play centre back with O Shea at right back.

"Trapattoni has been cheered by an upbeat fitness update on the central defender Sean St Ledger, who has a knee problem. The Preston player sat out training yesterday today but Trapattoni said he would welcome him back into the group today (Weds) tomorrow and hopes that he will be fit to take his place alongside Richard Dunne"

Kelly's the type of play for a backs to the wall game against a Big Club or country... He gets found out against weaker teams were more is expected from him on the ball.. I think anyway!!

I know it was a light training session - and call me old Mr Cautious if you must - but wasn't that just looking for trouble?

**paul_oshea** · 02/09/2009, 11:34 AM

**ifk101** · 02/09/2009, 11:38 AM

I know, I know..................but Jaysus Shay - stay in goal if its all the same to yourself.

Be careful going up and down stairs as well.

Jaysus.

If it was up to me, I'd wrap him up in cotton wool until Saturday evening instead of having him jumping for headers with Arms and Legs Folan!!!!

you and your sheep fetish.

**drummerboy** · 04/09/2009, 7:50 AM

SSL hasn't trained all week. He must be extremely doubtful at this stage. Anyone know any more.

**paul_oshea** · 04/09/2009, 8:26 AM

I heard that he sat out training all week thus far.

Brady says he'll be ok for the game: http://www.independent.ie/sport/socc...h-1878071.html

Assistant manager Liam Brady said: "We decided to leave Sean out as we were doing a lot of shooting and 10-v-10 match in which there was going to be a lot of tackling But we're confident he'll be fit."

Not so sure he will play, had to rest yesterday as his knee was really sore.

I wouldn't risk him to be honest, St Ledger is the type of player who would walk through a brick wall for his team, as we have seen at Preston on many occassions.

But this an important World Cup Qualifier, and we have a enough options in the squad to cover for this.
