Lads, With the exception of Given not completing a move, it has been a good period for most of the top Irish players who made moves which should mean they play - Keane, Ireland and Reid in particular. The big shock I believe was Sammon joining Wigan. It will be interesting to watch his progress. I know I have mentioned this before , but hopefully Mick and the other Irish lads can have a chat with O'Hara about his international future.

[Supreme feet]

It's a pity Glenn Whelan didn't get a move, he seems to be out of the picture at Stoke. They don't have a reserve team either, so he'll be woefully short of match practice. He's a favourite of Trap's, but surely he can't be picked if he's not played any games?

[irishfan86]

While he isn't starting for Stoke, he does come off the bench quite frequently. I believe Tets said he was the Irish player who came off the bench most last month. Not ideal but he isn't in a situation as bad as Robbie at Spurs.

You do realise he'll be competing with Keane, Doyle, Walters, Sammon, and potentially Long and Hunt all playing in the Premier League?

You left out Best and Cox. If I haven't given up hope yet why would I give up now. You may say I'm a dreamer...

[gastric]

Rumours from the Daily Mail - Andy Reid back to Forest, St Ledger to Portsmouth and Keith Treacy to Ipswich. All would be good moves for these lads.

Scott Davies signs for Crawley
http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,12875_6961395,00.html

Remember him being on fire a few seasons back with Aldershot and thinking he could be the next Keith Andrews and make the jump to either the Championship or Premier League with Reading, unfortunately it never panned out.
