How unreasonable of them. Parrott and Scully played League 1 in seasons 20/21 and 21/22. Parrott scored 12, Scully scored 32.

Any yet one of them played regularly in Championship this season while the other fell off the face of the earth. I wonder who the better player is?

It's easy to fall after hernia surgery. But fair play to Troy for playing regularly.

"James McClean is on the verge of finalising a move to Wrexham" per Dan McDonnell....

**JR89** · 04/08/2023, 3:00 PM

If he's dropping to that level they must be paying him a pretty penny. Would have thought he'd make his way back to LOI before dropping to League Two.

**joey B** · 04/08/2023, 3:04 PM

They're the bookies favorites for promotion if you can put any stock in that,definitely an ambitious club that are looking far beyond being in League 2 or even League 1 for a long time....

**John83** · 04/08/2023, 3:08 PM

Someone was saying on the forum a while back that they've been paying very well. Someone else had dropped further than I'd expected to help them get promoted back into the league. I guess all that Deadpool money has to go somewhere.

I guess that's it for his international career so. Even with his track record, surely selecting a League 2 player is a stretch.

**Diggs246** · 04/08/2023, 3:10 PM

Sorry to bring reality into this
But is that not the end of his international career!

Kenny and manning need to kiss and make up fast. Manning needs to apologize and Kenny needs to start picking him

Anthony Forde and Thomas O'Connor dropped down from League One to them last season. Yeah think that's him finished unless others are fitness doubts. So wouldn't be surprised to see him still make some squads this year.

End of his Ireland career?

**tetsujin1979** · 04/08/2023, 6:57 PM

There are few full internationals in League Two, but on the other hand McClean is a favourite of Kenny.

**Razors left peg** · 04/08/2023, 7:14 PM

He has his 100 caps so I'm sure he happily walks away from international football now. On the bright side he's gonna be a great character for the TV show!

Yeah, I could well see that happen alright - certainly for the end of this campaign. But we do need to start moving on I think. Hard to go from playing Accrington and Barrow to playing France and Holland.

TBF there's surely been a few players over the years that probably went from sitting on the bench at club level to playing big games. Think he'll be kept around the wider squad until the qualifiers are over and then we'll likely have seen the last of him.
