Huddersfield eyeing Andrews according to today's gossip.

[Colbert Report]

Huddersfield could be an excellent move for him, he'd be guaranteed to play all fifty plus matches next season in central midfield if he got on with him. Despite his excellent showing at the Euros, he's not good enough to play every match in the Premiership.

Just a few of the young irish lads on the released list in uk. Anyone know if any of them have new clubs? Heard connolly the winger might be joined sligo
Connolly(bolton)
Connolly(Derby)
Branagan(bury)
Mcdermott(Arsenal)
Gilmartin(watford)
Holohan(Hull)
McCroary
Folan(Newcastle)
o halloran(carlisle)
murray(Sheffield utd)
Connelly(sheffield utd)
tioflack(Ipswich)

[Charlie Darwin]

Of those names, you'd imagine Gilmartin and Mark Connolly have the best chance of finding League One/Two sides. Possibly O'Halloran too. The rest it's hard to guess on.

That's Conneely at Sheffield United by the way, and Tiofack at Ipswich.

Indeed. Tioflack must be a different cork lad born in cameron who plays up front and is/was at ipswich and was linked with a big money move to arsenal around christmas.

and giving out to comedians for avoiding tax whilst allowing billionaire tax avoiders determine government policy.

You need to read that post more closely Charlie - he was born in Cameron which I can only think means that David Cameron eats pregnant ladies.

Any word on Murray staying or leaving Watford?

Any word on Murray staying or leaving Watford?

New contract there lately http://www.watfordfc.com/page/NewsDetail/0,,10400~2696805,00.html

Have you heard he is moving? I'd be happy enough to see him stay there for now.

[Stuttgart88]

isn't the club in flux, with a takeover deal just fallen through and the clubs is short money?

Some people were saying in his thread Fulham and Everton were interested about 2 months ago and Dyche apparently said the club might have to sell him even though he just signed a 3 year contract.

Andrews linked with Sunderland today. Good man Keith. Be less of a chance for Meyler to break through though.

Apparently Norwich are chasing Chris McCann. Would be a great move for him and would be nice to see if he's up to Prem standard

Gary Doherty has dropped down two divisions to join Wycombe Wanderers after being released by Charlton.

Not surpriing, he was on loan at Wycombe when they were both in League One last year.

Kilbane signs for Coventry : http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/18725589 one year deal, with a bit of coaching. I think Lee Carsley is at Coventry also.

Some forums also saying Norwich are after Hendrick at Derby, was in the Star apparently. I don't know how current this is or if Norwich have changed manager since it was reported.

[CraftyToePoke]

Keith Keane back in league football at Deepdale : http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/18356960 - Preston say he is a signing they envisage being good enough when they return to the Championship also. Still only 25, came through with Foley at Luton or just after.

Those two and Lewis Emanuel, another piece of Stan era trivia. Now in Sunday League : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lewis_Emanuel

That was reported a few months back when Lambert was still at Norwich. Interestingly, Aston Villa were one of the sides linked with him last season before he signed a new contract.

Bray Wanderers defender Pierce Sweeney signs for Reading: http://www.readingfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10306~2833400,00.html

Joe rafterty signed for rochdale from Liverpool.

[paul_oshea]

i fear for the wolves lads well doyle really.didnt cover himself in glory over in poland in terms of his football i mean.

I think him playing in the championship and long at west brom-who i hope aren't slogging it out fighting relegation- should sound the death knell to the keane/doyle partnership. It may even force trap into a strategic rethink - not tactical. i like doyle but i dont think he amd long could play together but more importantly i think he is part of the reason trap stuck with a 4-4-2. long was never really partnered with keane often and never in a strict 4-4-2 either.

Lovely. Another journalist who is most misinformed about the league.


The Dubliner follows in the footsteps of compatriots Shane Long (http://searchtopics.independent.ie/topic/Shane_Long) and Kevin Doyle (http://searchtopics.independent.ie/topic/Kevin_Doyle), who arrived Reading (http://searchtopics.independent.ie/topic/Reading_Football_Club) from St Patrick's and Cork respectively.

[Stuttgart88]

Maybe Long was being treated for depression having lived in Cork for a bit?

Sweeney also played 12 games "last season".

Only seen him in a couple of full games but he looks a super talent. Only 17 too but his reading of the game is better than most experienced defenders in the league.

Get used to it. That performance in Poland is going to affect our status / the image of our players for years to come.

[Charlie Darwin]

You can't seriously think a player released by Bolton's prospects have been in any way impacted by Ireland's performance at the Euros.

Luke Chambers - Forest to Ipswich

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/18736692

A year ago he looked like he might be a handy recruit, had been player of the year at Forest and had Prem interest, ended up being released and moving to Ipwsich.

[paul_oshea]

A year is a long time in Football.

[Stuttgart88]

Its sad after a European Championships that all we can hope to hear about is fellas going to league 2 and below ;(But only a few posts earlier we saw a highly rated 17 y/o defender being signed from the LOI by a Premiership team with a new, rich, ambitious owner and a really good manager.
